Özdilek Park: A Shopping Mall Committed to a Greener Future

Özdilek Park, a prominent shopping and lifestyle destination in Istanbul, Turkey, has taken significant steps to enhance its sustainability profile. As part of its efforts to reduce environmental impact and promote energy efficiency, Özdilek Park partnered with ELCOLED, a leader in innovative lighting solutions, to transform its lighting infrastructure. This collaboration is a testament to how modern lighting technology can achieve both sustainability and an enhanced visual environment.

ELCOLED’s Role in Enhancing Özdilek Park

ELCOLED was commissioned to upgrade both the exterior and interior lighting systems at Özdilek Park, providing solutions that blend aesthetic enhancement with energy efficiency:

Exterior Illumination: ELCOLED installed advanced wallwashers that now play a central role in Özdilek Park’s vibrant promotional displays. These fixtures offer flexible lighting options that adapt to various events and themes, creating a captivating and evolving visual experience for visitors.

Interior Lighting Transformation: In 2021, ELCOLED continued its collaboration with Özdilek Park by upgrading the interior spaces with high-performance downlights and elegant cove lighting systems. These fixtures were carefully selected to enhance the mall’s ambiance while significantly reducing energy consumption, supporting Özdilek Park’s sustainability goals.

Overcoming Challenges with Advanced Lighting Techniques

Addressing Asymmetric Lighting Challenges: The exterior installations, including large LED displays, required precise management of “asymmetric light traces and bursts.” ELCOLED used light control techniques such as baffling and luminaire shielding to direct light effectively and minimize spill onto adjacent surfaces. Optical lenses were employed to create specific beam angles, ensuring a balanced and controlled lighting effect.

Optimizing Interior Lighting: The glass roof and strategically placed downlights and cove lighting inside the mall presented potential challenges with uneven light distribution. ELCOLED addressed this by selecting fixtures with tailored beam angles and strategically positioning them to achieve optimal illuminance levels throughout the space. Advanced lighting simulation tools like DIALux were likely used to optimize these levels, ensuring a visually appealing and comfortable environment.

Glare Control and UGR Analysis: ELCOLED prioritized visitor comfort by implementing Unified Glare Rating (UGR) analysis to control direct glare. Techniques such as fixture repositioning, glare control lenses, and indirect lighting strategies were deployed to reduce glare and enhance the overall visual experience.

ELCOLED: Pioneering Sustainable Lighting Solutions

The collaboration between Özdilek Park and ELCOLED showcases the successful integration of energy-efficient LEDs and advanced lighting design to elevate both visual appeal and sustainability. The completed project stands as an example of ELCOLED’s capability as a trusted partner for organizations seeking to enhance their spaces with innovative and eco-friendly lighting solutions.

ELCOLED’s work at Özdilek Park demonstrates how lighting can be a powerful tool for promoting sustainability while maintaining strong visual impact. Our commitment to eco-friendly solutions, combined with our expertise in advanced lighting technology, solidifies ELCOLED’s position as a leader in the lighting industry. We are proud to contribute to projects like Özdilek Park that illuminate a brighter, more sustainable future.
