Bringing light deep into the mountain to reveal the natural beauty hidden for millennia, this objective was reached through the use of GUELL series professional floodlights to illuminate the Frasassi cave in Genga, province of Ancona.
The original lighting system had deteriorated due to the difficult environmental conditions and it was necessary to completely replace the technologically obsolete luminaires with new LED luminaires capable of guaranteeing greater durability and luminous efficiency. Correctly illuminating an extreme environment with 98% humidity presents several design challenges. Products that are resistant, performing, reliable and safe are required.
GUELL professional floodlights, in different sizes depending on the lighting needs, provide scenographic lighting that enhances the natural wonder of the cave. The high degree of IP protection, the extremely durable construction and the ability to easily access the components (driver-wiring) make for an ideal product. The ease of cleaning of the tempered and extremely strong glass was also a plus in the design considering the speed with which mineral sediment accumulates in these environments. The careful lighting design required a stringent selection of the chromatic component of the light, opting for a colour temperature of 5,000 K.
The Frasassi caves are a complex of underground karst caves formed by a series of underground caverns. The first, easily visited by the public is the Ancona Abyss, a huge cave that has an area of 180 x 120 m and a height of 200 m. A natural heritage site that annually hosts millions of visitors
