Two different LED types were installed in the process: for the facade lighting and for the architectural upgrading of the entrance area, as well as for the backlighting of a bronze-coloured glass facade, 15,000 cold-white Golden Dragon Plus LEDs were used. They supply a bright and even illumination, without scattered light or dazzle, and with low power consumption. An additional factor is the good colour rendering index of the LED light sources. This provides a natural colour impression and thus a higher level of safety, due to a more clearly contoured environment.

The handrail, 700 metres long in total, is illuminated by 50,000 warm-white TopLEDs. The LI-EX profiles are outstandingly suitable for this application. As the stairs in the entrance area are different, the length of the luminaires also needs to be adapted individually: for this type of luminaire, this is not a problem.

LI-EX is a part of “LED-Light for you”, a network for lighting technology, initiated by Osram, which works jointly with customers on implementing new solutions based on the efficient and multi-faceted light diodes; since the launch of the Stachus project, the network has been providing specialist advice to the architects, Allmann Sattler Wappner.

TheANEMIX is a new lighting system that creates unique 3D effects in space.
It´s a panel composed by a luminescent and a reflective layer, which can be modified to create a wide range of visual effects.
The designers chose OSRAM LED technology to be the light source of this system, as it´s efficient, small and with a very low cost of manteinance. The glass-aluminium technology was developed by GLASSTECH, a specialized glazed Chilean company.
This modular system can also be customized. The tecnology used to make the shapes matrix and modular dimensions allows anyone to design their own Anemix. In this way and depending on the format and dimension, it can be used as object, as a comunication or mood light surface or as an architectural element.

Artificial light changes how we see cities, both in functional and, increasingly, in aesthetic terms. Its fascination for artists, designers and architects derives from the fundamental role played by light in human perception. Light can create spaces that exist independently of architectural constructions. Without light, images could not be generated, perceived or reproduced, in films, videos or anywhere else. The latest LED technology even permits images to be made from light. This approach has been adopted now in Munich by realizing the new OSRAM light platform SEVEN SCREENS which combines arts with cutting-edge technologies presented in the public space. In future, and up to twice a year, artists will be invited by OSRAM to develop works referring to the specific context.

Reprojected by Media artists Mader and Stublic, and architect Wiermann, based in Berlin / Karlsruhe, engages in a site-specific and medium-specific way with visual perception. The artists have created a virtual space around the seven light steles. Light apparently coming from elsewhere seems to strike the steles like a spotlight. For the viewer, real space and virtual space appear to co-exist, the two realms intersecting at the masts. Computer-generated figures appear in front of the light and are reproduced as silhouettes on the masts, before disappearing into the surrounding darkness.
