Light Emissions Wins Award for General Electric Innovation Corridor in Saudi ArabiaLight Emissions won the prestigious award in the "Light & Surface Interior" category of the Surface Design Awards 2015, held at the Business Design Center, London, UK. The project was designing and constructing a video graphic wall down one side of a 50m long corridor that is the spine of the General Electric Innovation Center in Al Khobar in Saudi Arabia, linking a reception, theatre, and several demonstration and break-out rooms. The video display consisted of 37mm resolution LED pixels with a black background. It is covered by clear polycarbonate sheets not only protecting the display, but also providing a lively "visual" reflective surface that blended the display content with ambient lighting. "As the media runs along the whole length of the 50m long corridor, it was important that the media was rendered as full speed video," observes Peter Ed, managing director of Light Emissions. "Without a system as fast as this, there would be image delays and 'tearing,' which would have been obvious." The display was also unusual as it had to be extremely thin and be mounted on six sets of wide doors, providing the uninterrupted wall of media graphics. The display runs completely cool with very low energy use, using no fans. Light Emissions supplies large scale architectural displays and specialist design consultancy for creative and free format video and graphic lighting installations. The company offers a comprehensive range of LED video and lighting displays for integration into buildings and interior design. The displays are suited to enhance visitor experiences by using video, graphics, interactivity, and lighting and suitable for large and demanding areas such as airports, theme parks, shopping malls, corporate lobbies, museums, sports venues and arenas, clubs, and bars.
