STOCKHOLM – Visual Productions’ CueCores were utilized to control the lighting on the Kista Trafikplats E4/E18 project where two bridges have been built at the largest interchange in Stockholm. CueCore was selected because it offers a solid-state solution that integrates a schedular. Two CueCores were used – one for each bridge – with a total of 400 LED channels per bridge.

STOCKHOLM – Lighting Designer Michael Hallbert collaborated with Swedish design & installation company Luxlight on the recent Kista Trafikplats E4/E18 project just outside of Stockholm. This is where two bridges have been built at the largest interchange in Stockholm, running from North–East and South-East forming a T that can be seen from space. Visual Productions’ CueCores were utilized to control the lighting.
Installation and programming was carried out by Patric Nord from Luxlight. Nord choose to use the CueCore as he required a solid-state solution that integrated a schedular. He choose to use the inclusive CueluxPro software suite for programming the CueCores. This choice was so that he would easily be able to incorporate movements or matrix control onsite if Hallbert would so wish. In the end the dramatic lighting design was simply achieved with static scenes dumped from CueluxPro into the CueCores. The recorded memory was triggered by the CueCores Astronomical Clock:
Lights on 1 hour before sunset
Lights off 1 hour after sunrise
Summer & winter time calculated by the CueCore set for the GPS coordinates of the bridges
2 CueCores were used – one for each bridge with a total of 400 LED channels per bridge. The Bridges are 300 meters apart so it was better for 2 separate systems to be installed as laying fiber optics would have proved too costly for the project and a wifi network maybe less reliable. The RGB light fixtures, X-line Color and VaioLED RGB 2S IP67 were all mounted behind 30cm thick glass. This gives Hallbert’s design a beautiful waterlike translucency to the facade.
