High performing luminaires for diverse cultural centre
Located in Dhahran, where a vast array of curious forms shaped like pebbles have risen out of the desert is the Saudi Arabia’s Cultural Centre.
The site includes a diverse cultural facilities such as an auditorium, cinema, library, exhibition hall, museum, and archive.
Working in collaboration with lighting designers Magic Monkey and project managers Netherled, Pulsar specified 150 of LuxEOS 36 flood lights. All the Pulsar fixtures are rated to IP66, ensuring they are protected from sand, dust and high humidity, alongside an ambient operating temperature rating of +50°C. This is essential in order to cope with the environment and extreme weather conditions of the region.

This is essential in order to cope with the environment and extreme weather conditions of the region.
All the lights can be controlled individually, and the standard programs can be customised for special events. Over such a large area, the control of individual luminaires produces some unique and stunning results.
Pulsar’s HBS (Holographic Beam Shaping) offers outstanding optical performance and flexibility. From ultranarrow spots to extra wide floods, plus elliptical beams, HBS provides excellent centre to edge illumination whilst minimising beam artefacts.
The lights were further customised, with each finished in an oyster white colour to help them blend in with the surroundings and look discreet in the daytime. Some of the lights are installed close to pedestrian areas and roads, so the customer chose to use louvres to prevent glare. The louvres were also finished in the same oyster white colour to match the light fixtures.
