attraction lighting. animal welfare.lighting / control
the brief
creating a convincing ice cave in the middle of the desert? sure! why not! linking
different lighting control systems to support the animal welfare as well? sounds like fun!the challenge was establishing a distinctive, believable frozen environment for guests while
prioritising animal comfort and natural lighting cycles. the habitat lighting had to serve
two very different audiences - the animals living there and the visitors experiencing it.
a further layer of complexity came from integrating with show control systems to produce
an immersive animated experience synchronised with educational video content.
our role
we worked collaboratively across multiple stakeholders - including zoological
consultants and attraction designers - conducting thorough research to establish
the right conditions for the animals alongside the guest experience.photosensors automatically adjust overall attraction lighting levels to align
with animal-specific lighting requirements, supporting natural
behavioural patterns and enhancing their overall welfare. the lighting infrastructure integrates
with show control to produce the immersive animated experience synchronised with video content,
all without compromising the habitat environment.
