selfridges windows entice like never before with dynamic lighting every three months, selfridges in-store creative team reveals new designs for its multiple windows facing oxford street, the busiest shopping street in europe. in these windows, the shop has installed led track lights using lumileds luxeon z leds with wireless control and a dynamic web app to enable dynamic light shows that bring the dazzling displays to life. challenge for over a hundred years, selfridges has been known for its spectacular window displays. in recent years, the displays have become quite dynamic. last christmas, following a zodiac theme of journey to the stars, one display showed scorpio in an elaborate headdress that changed color in reaction to heat from the sun. such dynamic displays were poorly served by cdm lights in white and fxed colors with no method for providing dynamic lighting. in addition, every three months the 24 window displays are changed and new lighting is brought in and installed alongside the installation of the new displays. a less costly and cumbersome approach was needed. solution the stores creative team explored the installation of fexible led lighting that would not only allow for dynamic light shows but also provide superior light quality and eliminate the frequent replacement of the lighting fxtures. the store chose invisua lighting for its holistic solution of providing fxtures, a control and web app system that is plug-and-play. invisuas masterspot 2 spotlights work seamlessly with the lightport controller and interfaces with the users tablet or phone for ease of use. invisuas uk- based distributor progress lighting ltd provided installation and programming of the light shows to match selfridges window displays. each window creation is like a small theatre. dynamic led lighting is often essential to the story its telling. matthijs keuper, ceo and founder invisua lighting challenge to replace the cdm track spotlights in 24 display windows at selfridges in london with color and white led track spotlights capable of wireless, dynamic light shows programmed specifcally to best show of each windows content. solution using existing tracks, progress lighting installed between four and eight invisuas masterspot 2 wireless track lights per window in place of the cdm lights. for the masterspot 2s, lumileds luxeon z white and color (red, green, blue) leds were chosen for their high fux and color consistency. wireless control and a dynamic web app enabled on-demand delivery of light shows in each window. results and benefts the dynamic lighting and light shows greatly enhanced the already stunning window displays at selfridges. now that the lighting hardware no longer needs to be changed when new design installations are brought in, the creative team can concentrate on best coordinating the light shows with the window designs. case study CS123 invisua case study ?2016 lumileds holding b.v. all rights reserved.
