Sustainable Light Art Installation and Light Show for E.ON

AURA SOLIS: Light-Run in the Park – stored sun energy evolves into light art

Millions of tiny mirrors, small light catchers in our light installation „Aura Solis“, tell a poetic story of the new technology of E.ON Aura. A large section of the Light-Run in Paderborn is uniquely iluminated, using energy won by sunlight and immerse the track into an aura of sparkling light.

A large part of the track was lined by countless small and big sparkling light spheres. These spheres were flooded with light from various directions. Part of the light spheres were mounted on stands so that countless reflections fell not only onto the track, but also the trees and the athletes.

The wirelessly controlled spots accompany the athletes interactively. A harmonic basic mood of light increases in intensity and colour when participants oft he run approach. The increase in intensity motivates and enourages the athlete to keep on going. A impressive and exhilarating experience for the athletes and the spectators.

The special feature of the event, however, lies in the source oft he energy. Photovoltaic modules have collected the energy of the sun throughout the day. The energy was then stored in the new E.ON Aura storage and released during the night event. Only 1.500 watts were consumed for this sustainable light art installation.

It was the first nightly running event illuminated by this new technology and we at mbeam are very proud to set the scene for this new storage technology with our light installation.

Many thanks to the entire team (Matthias Singer, Laura, Nicole,…) to the E.ON Germany Team und to LiveCo for the successful implementation of the sustainable light installation.
