LEC Lyon has announced an outdoor LED-based lighting project completed in Annecy, France near the border of Switzerland. The famed Pont des Amours or Lovers’ Bridge now feature a solid-state lighting (SSL) system that’s fully equipped with a DMX control system. The lighting reflects dramatically on the bridge architecture and the Thiou River flowing underneath yet pedestrians on the bridge experience subdued lighting — carefully controlled for light spill and glare.
The Lovers’ Bridge is so known because of a local legend that states that lovers who kiss in the center of the bridge will be together forever. It’s located where the river enters Lake Annecy and links the Champs de Mars greenbelt with Annecy’s city gardens, or Jardins de l’Europe, just adjacent to the city center.
