TECHNOLOGY / CASE STUDIES URBAN ICON
Traxon Technologies have transformed the Grand Stade Lille Metropole into a local icon that aims to wow the casual passerby as well as the seasoned football fan.
Unveiled in August 2012, Grand Stade Lille Métropole’s dynamic façade was designed to deliver an unprecedented media experience to fans and casual visitors. Created by architects Valode & Pistre and Pierre Ferret and clad in an elegant, semi- transparent Imagic Weave media façade measuring 2046 square meters, the Grand Stade Lille Métropole’s exterior melds Haver & Boecker’s stainless steel mesh together with Traxon LEDs converting the building façade into a unique, transparent canvas for vivid large-scale media. Paired with Video Micro Converters (VMCs) and a Lighting Control Engine fx (LCE-fx), this creative and sustainable lighting solution offers three customized areas of varying resolution, each catering to the stadium’s communication needs: an extensive background for large-scale dynamic light shows; an elongated “ticker” style screen to communicate scores and other text, as well as a tight pitch area with higher resolution for videos and advertisements. The intelligent control system enables all three areas to be controlled separately and to play differing content. The lighting
can also come together to form a single theme show, seamlessly integrated and linked at all times. As a result, the Grand Stade Lille Métropole is fully equipped to serve high-profile sporting events and also
succeeds as a piece of modern architecture that thrives beyond the sporting events it hosts, with a clear understanding of its multifunctional role as an urban icon.

MADE IN NÎMES
LEC Lyon developed a new spotlight when tasked with lighting the roadways and tunnels in the historic French city of Nîmes.
A historic city, Nîmes has developed a public transport system based on dedicated bus lanes that modify the conurbation’s roadways and image. As part of developing a 5 km traffic lane linking Nîmes station with the A9 Autoroute, LEC supplied spotlights to be used as marker-lights and ambience lighting for roadways and tunnels. The lights were custom made to satisfy the aesthetic requirements of the lighting designer (Côté Lumière), the architectural and landscape requirements of urban planners and the usage prerogatives of the city’s technical services. It was decided that LED technology would satisfy the requirements for light quality, durability and while offering a low environmental impact. A number of pedestrian and road tunnels were also illuminated. The objective was to provide a lighting effect different
from what was normally installed for this type of structure. Uplifting ambience lighting was required by the design team. A 4040M spotlight was developed by LEC Lyon especially for this project, capable of rotating on three axes allowing the beams to be adjusted very precisely, in order to
obtain a given lighting effect wherever and whenever it needs to be installed. Elliptical lenses were also developed to offer designers total freedom in achieving lighting performance.
