TRIDONIC SUPPLIES NEW MEGA AIRPORT IN BEIJING WITH LIGHT-ON-DEMAND TRIDONIC The new Beijing Daxing International Airport, approximately 50 kilometres south of the Chinese capital, is already being hailed as a mega airport – and not without reason. Enormous capacity, unique architecture, rapid construction and special, customizable lighting are the hallmarks of the building. Tridonic played a major role in providing optimum lighting. The technology company supplied drivers, intelligent lighting control and light-on-demand with daylight tracking for this mega project. The lighting concept is based on indirect lighting and uses concealed light sources and reflected light to create a special atmosphere. The building had to be welcoming and modern, and above make the time spent there by the millions of passengers a pleasant one. A very large area had to be equipped with functional light and an individual control system in only a short space of time. The lighting had to include daylight detection, flexible adjustment of lighting levels, remote control of the luminaires and simple maintenance.
