Butterfly Reflect - Lighting Revision
Attachment 3
LED Lighting Revision
Indirect Lighting: LEDs will be mounted to the inner walls of the steel frame, facing inward. Indirect lighting means the lighted cells will glow, but project a very limited amount of light.
Tinted Top Panels: During the nighttime, this will limit upward light transmission and during the daytime, these will will allow daylight to pass through creating tinted lighting below.
Total Wattage Decrease: Less than 100w per butterfly. Indirect lighting decreased LED count and overall brightness by approximately 75%.
Software Updates: At any point lighting changes can be made to colors, patterns, brightness, and scheduling.
Additional Details
Viewing Angles: With the updated lighting plan the tops and bottoms of of the butterflies will be nearly identical, so it will be beautiful viewing from a distance or from below.
Activation of the Walkway: Embossed into the walkway below will be swirling silhouettes of monarch butterflies oriented in the migratory path.
Lighting Patterns: The intention of the lighting is to mimic the movement of a butterfly murmuration. It will be subtle and soothing. The color palette will be derived from footage of monarch butterflies–namely oranges, beiges, whites, and blues.
Thank you
We are looking forward to working with the city to tailor Butterfly Reflect to find a balance that best meet the needs of the stakeholders of Evelyn Park.
We appreciate the feedback and look forward to developing this project further.
