The basic form of the combination of LED lamps and glass curtain wall facades can be generally divided into the following 5 types:

1. The curtain wall node surface installation: The curtain wall node surface installation is fixed by structural glue, which is the most common installation method in the glass curtain wall lighting operation. The advantages are obvious: easy installation, fast, and low operation difficulty; it will not cause damage to the curtain wall and Can be installed to any required parts to ensure the lighting effect;

Main points of integrated design of glass curtain wall and lighting

The main points of the integrated design of glass curtain wall and lighting are the following three ways in the architectural layout:

Each pixel is completely independent, with independent control signals, and the size and shape can be arbitrarily distributed. You can use points to highlight nodes, and use points to form unique graphics and changes, showing a prosperous effect.

Lines When several LED pixels are installed on a bar-shaped member, they become lines, which is what people call line lights. Lines can be used to emphasize the outline of the building and the shape is more flexible.

On the facade of the building, let the light appear in the form of a face, use the face to create a commercial atmosphere, use the face to distinguish the functional areas of the building, and three-dimensionalize the entire face.

However, in the specific curtain wall design, the lighting design needs to be coordinated with the curtain wall design.

General principles of LED lamps used on glass curtain wall

1. Luminaires can be concealed;

2. Do not affect the lighting and ventilation as much as possible;

3. Avoid glare;

4. Does not affect the water and airtight performance of the curtain wall.

The lamps and lanterns are not simply attached to the facade of the building, but show the most beautiful side of the building through the integrated design of the facade system. Appropriate lighting design can not only ensure the integrity of the external space, but also eliminate many defects in the original building due to poor construction, while meeting the critical performance requirements of the curtain wall.
