Cubitt Square in King's Cross, London
Overall view
A lighting concept that forms part of a major transformation and turns London's King's Cross district into a safe place.
This concept is based on 5 lighting columns, placed in line at the periphery of Lewis Cubitt Square. These wooden columns, approximately 13-meters tall, have 9 projectors 4040-Luminy 4 installed at the top. In total, there are 45 projectors.
The project produces a soft ambience, with three different lighting effects designed specifically for the different parts of the square:
1. Oval shapes projected by elliptical beams for relaxation areas,
2. Round shapes of different sizes projected by circular beams around the edges of the square,
3. Small round shapes projected by narrow circular beams near the fountains.
The set was developed based on a lighting scenario imagined by S+ M that varies light intensity depending on time of day and natural lighting.

The 45 LEC 4040-Luminy 4 LED projectors, each fitted with a set of specially designed lenses, ensure these shapes are projected uniformly on the ground.
To do so, LEC placed three independent groups of spotlights on each of the masts:
> 4 sets of 12 LEDs with custom lenses that form narrow round shapes for the lighting near the fountains.
> 3 sets of 8 LEDs with custom lenses that produce wide round shapes for lighting the edges of the square.
> 2 sets of 12 LEDs with custom lenses that form ellipses for the relaxation areas.
