  • Lighting Concept:
    The architectural lighting of the Ochag monument — dedicated to Adyghe culture — is structured around two primary components:
    Internal lighting: a dynamic lighting system simulates the effect of a flame through variations in color and intensity, while revealing the expressive shadows cast by the wrought-iron gates;
    External lighting: defines the overall volume of the monument, placing emphasis on the bas-reliefs depicting prominent figures of the Adyghe people and characters from mythology.
    The project incorporates several INTILED luminaire series in full-color configuration: SPOT, SLIM, BOX, and KUB, along with a control system based on the DMX-512 protocol.
    The selection of multi-chip LED fixtures was driven by the lighting concept: in such luminaires, color mixing occurs within the fixture itself, delivering a clean and precise hue onto the illuminated surface. This was critically important for achieving the most accurate rendering of natural flame tones.
