Corrosion-resistant LED light lines for the Museum of Moeda in Luanda
Next to the National Bank of Angola, three LED light strips mark the square and draw the eye to the entrance of the new Museum of Moeda in Luanda. The innovative project was created in collaboration between the Costa Lopes architecture team and ADO Lights by TTC Timmler Technology.
The museum is located underground beneath a square with asymmetrical awnings close to the seafront promenade on the Atlantic Ocean – a challenge due to the high humidity and salty sea air. Corrosion-resistant stainless steel profiles in V4A quality (20 x 20 mm) were therefore chosen for the LED light lines, offering optimum protection. The 120 mm high mounting profile with integrated cable guide is also made of this material and ensures clean integration into the paving.
The LEDs emit warm white light at 4100 Kelvin and create atmospheric lighting. In addition, nine raised plant troughs are illuminated with LED light tiles made of V4A stainless steel, which impressively highlight the trees standing there from below.
This project shows how high-quality materials and innovative LED technology can ensure sustainable and aesthetic outdoor lighting even under demanding climatic conditions.
