about the project
Out of the “Seven Wonder of the World”, Taj Mahal is universally admired and is one of the most fascinating architectural marvels in the world. Built in 1648, it is known for its Mughal architecture where the Taj Mahal is a part of an elaborate complex consisting of decorative entrance gateways, beautifully designed gardens, a mosque and most importantly the Yamuna river situated in the Southern banks of the complex.
lighting design intent
The focus of the project was to light up the pathway stretch on the Eastern Gate Entrance (also known as Sirhi Darwaza) that faces towards the beautiful Taj nature walk and Fatehabad Town. A kilometer long stretch consisted of a dedicated pedestrian or Golf Cart stretch. The intent behind the design was to make light as an additive solution acting as an architectural feature in their own right. With the mentioned thought, we used customized stone bollards (just 750mm high to avoid distractions w.r.t the structure) with LEC luminaires.
The fixtures were specially designed by LEC for the Mughal masterpiece with unique lenses covering 15m wide stretch with inter distances of 15m. The fixtures used tilted LED board for glare prevention.
Further, away from the monument, Heper make Domino LED Streetlights with custom color and pole design were used to add historic and heritage touch to the monument.
