KRAMFORS, Sweden – Erik Nordlander of Nordlander Produktion used 18 Martin Professional Tripix 300 LED (RGB) striplights to illuminate a rebuilt pedestrian bridge in warm shades of white light and occasionally in dynamic color. Mill Bridge, a wooden bridge used by cyclists and pedestrians alike, is located just outside the city center of this northern Swedish town. The Municipality of Kramfors sought to light the bridge at night to increase safety and enhance the beauty of the bridge.
Nine 300mm IP66-rated Tripix luminaires are mounted on the underside handrail on each side of the bridge. The Tripix 300 uses single lens tricolor RGB color mixing – a color wash system that projects a more uniform wash of color across a surface.
"The Tripix has exceptional brightness and warm color, which is unique for a fixture of this type," says Erik, head of Nordlander Produktion, a Martin Preferred Partner since the early 1990s.
"The color we have used mostly on the bridge is a warm white, but we have the possibility to use color as well, such as on Pink Saturday, when we washed the bridge in pink for breast cancer awareness."
The Tripix luminaires operate in stand-alone mode. Along with the bridge and pathway, they also wash a small waterfall just below the bridge, as well as a fish ladder. Nordlander has not found any problems with the luminaires since they were installed last fall.
