Mexico. Philips and Egea-Citelum, illuminated the façade of the Teatro Degollado, one of the architectural and historical jewels of the city of Guadalajara, Mexico, with LED lighting connected to the Philips cloud.
Founded in 1866 and located in the heart of the historic center of Guadalajara, the Teatro Degollado with its neoclassical architecture is one of the best preserved theaters in LatAm. The newly installed LED lighting system is a key element in the City Council's plans to illuminate the historic center of Guadalajara and enhance the urban landscape in a more sustainable way.
"We created a concept that respects the heritage and accentuates the splendor of this emblematic building that is synonymous with the cultural identity of the city. Our innovative LED lighting system has successfully transformed an architectural monument into a night landmark with low energy consumption," said Hugo Jáuregui Gómez, lighting designer responsible for the technical and conceptual design of the project.
The Teatro Degollado is the first building in Latam to be equipped with Philips ActiveSite, a cloud-connected lighting management platform that allows you to monitor, maintain and manage architectural LED lighting systems from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. This allows the Degollado Theatre to light up in a plethora of dazzling colors and light effects related to various events or festivities and for the content to change on the fly at any time.
The monument is illuminated with Color Kinectics products such as: Active Site, EW Graze MX Powercore, ColorGraze MX4 Powercore, ColorBlast Powercore and eW Blast Powercore.
"As a global leader in lighting we are very proud of this project that sets new standards in Mexico for the use of light as a basis for urban, social and economic development, in addition to contributing to the increase of tourism. While connected LED lighting increases safety and reduces energy, it is also fantastic to see the theater transformed by the art of lighting," said Sergio Villalón, Philips Lighting's market leader in Latin America.
