In detail, the installation included seven Proel Nightwave PLAT150CNBKs - a DMX-controlled architectural colour changer with a 150 W discharge lamp and CMY colour mixing system - positioned at the base of the tower, in the corners. These will provide programmed colour changes or fixed colours, as Mayor Amato Mercuri himself explained at the Grand Opening, according to each type of event taking place during the year.
"At this point Lighting no longer means directing the light of a few fixtures toward an object, especially when that object has a high historical value in the urban context that hosts it, as in the case of the Tower in the municipality of Moresco," explains Proel Group's lighting product manager, Roberto Meggiolaro. "Architectural Lighting needs to be considered as a way to enhance the element that requires illumination, yet you have to avoid excessively spectacular renderings which could overshadow or, even worse, diminish the artistic value of the historical element. This is the concept we applied and we are very happy with the result of Proel's project for Moresco's Tower."
