Last year Lucas was asked to ‘create’ 1360 illuminated pavers to be placed at ground level in a high traffic area of Southbank Parklands, Brisbane. The brief came from Lightech Australia and it became quite a long labour of love from the initial design through to manufacture. At the time, and still, to our knowledge, there is no comprable product on the market.
Lucas created the original mould for the resin blocks (UV Stabilised) after much experimentation with slightly differing materials and products…. Now, how to illuminate it?
Lucas has worked extensively on lighting projects in the past, and of course loves the medium and playing with ‘light’.
To this end, Lucas used Fibre Optics to light the pavers from the underside – the trick was achieving even dispersion of light.
The ‘Light Blocks’ or Orbix,now sit happily in their new home with low to zero maintenance and energy efficency to boot!
Please contact us for more information about Orbix or any lighting enquiries.
