The city Moulin is located in the foothills of the Massif Cen­tral, on the River Allier. The market square forms the heart of the town and is a tes­ti­mony to its rich his­tor­i­cal her­itage, reflect­ing styles from var­i­ous eras. T

he church spires of the Sacre Coeur”, a large well, the market hall and the Grand Café are par­tic­u­larly defin­ing land­marks. The aim of the munic­i­pal coun­cil was to make the public space more attrac­tive for res­i­dents by restruc­tur­ing the square and the market hall. Shop­ping ameni­ties and open spaces have been newly cre­ated and the var­i­ous sites i.e. road­ways, foot­paths, shops needed to be clearly iden­ti­fi­able. The design for the pedes­tri­an­ized area there­fore incor­po­rates Selux Olivio Sis­tema lumi­naires.

HID lumi­naires are used for gen­eral light­ing while a dynamic effect is cre­ated on the foot­paths using the RGBW LED ver­sion of the Olivio lumi­naire. Fol­low­ing the restruc­tur­ing, the square has a much brighter appear­ance and an unob­structed view has been attained. In the evenings, Olivio RGBW spot­lights can be mod­i­fied to cater for var­i­ous types of events. Depend­ing on the number of par­tic­i­pants and the time, light inten­sity and colour pro­jec­tions can be used to dis­play a plethora of dif­fer­ent sce­nar­ios designed to pro­vide a back­ground for bustling life on the market square.

  • The organic design of Olivio and its functional versatility due to the modular design of this luminaire family is inspired by role models from nature. As a result Olivio forms the basis for light concepts in urban living areas where the focus is on the well-being of people. Olivio luminaire heads are available in the sizes Grande, Medio and Piccolo and can be combined with various arms and pole types from the three design lines Sistema, Floracion and Candelabra. Yet it is not just the design that can be adapted individually according to the situation – various optics and light colours from 2,700 to 4,000 Kelvin also cater for challenging lighting tasks efficiently and without glare: from illumination of paths and squares, floodlighting of façades and accent lighting of buildings. The new Olivio Cap also reduces light scatter and for special requirements, with its camera and loudspeaker modules, Olivio can be integrated into smart application scene. The special wooden-pole aesthetic emphasizes the Olivio's high quality, organic luminaire design. Combined with luminaire heads in a harmonoius colour tone such as bronze, this results in a timelessly comforting spatial ambience.
