Christmas ball is one of the traditional symbols of Christmas itself and of the New Year. And our large lighting installations in the shape of such a ball have become a symbol of New Year’s Eve in Moscow.
The latest project was deliberately chosen to be 20-metres high to welcome the year 2020. Besides RGB lights, we have also used RGBWW fixtures. In addition, the ball is decorated with 86 ornamental LED snowflakes. MADRIX 5 KEY maximum is being used for the lighting control.
The scope of the project is striking in its scale: 390,000 LED pixels, 16 km of LED strips, garlands, ropes and contouring lights, complex metal structures with a height of six floors, 34.5 tons weight.
All this came together in one exciting installation. It is more than the current official Guinness record with 55,900 LED lights. In each detail, we have put our hearts.
In total, we created 20 basic scenarios of lighting. Bright red lights, amazing warm whites, or noble purple — we were able to achieve all shades of festive lights in one installation.
The design combines modern conciseness and traditional, decorative motifs. Lacy patterns on the surface reference the craftsmanship of past centuries. The amazing balance between traditions and modern technologies makes this installation truly unique. Our Christmas Ball created a festive atmosphere and became the main source of the holiday spirit and joy for all visitors of Poklonnaya Hill. Although the installation is situated in the outer areas of Moscow, it became popular among people and took its place in the “Audience Sympathy” top three New Year’s Moscow decorations.
