The beauties of Caselle Torinese under a new light E nel Sole has realized the new lighting system of the city centre of Caselle Torinese, the 18 thousand inhabitants municipality of the metropolitan city of Turin, home of the “Sandro Pertini” international airport. The lighting gives identity and liveability to the urban environment, transforming the central square of the town into a meeting place, also in the evening. The finer buildings, symbols of the city, are used as a scenic backdrop of an architectural ensemble, through a lighting that goes beyond the single building, connecting the whole urban complex, in which visual glimpses follow citizens’ enjoyment. Palazzo Mosca, seat of the City Council, the kindergarten and the primary school, the Church of Saint Mary overlooking the central Piazza Boschiassi and the Church of the Battuti, a marvellous example of Piedmontese Baroque: these buildings are illuminated in accordance with their architectural characteristics. Enel Sole’s goal is to efficiently and effectively illuminate cities, towns, and their distinctive elements by designing, implementing and managing systems and services that enhance the well-being of the people living there. Through a “path of light”, Enel Sole promotes the culture of lighting in its utmost expressiveness. In Caselle Torinese, 33 LED architectural projectors with a 3,000 Kelvin colour temperature have been used and selected according to the geometric characteristics of the buildings. They were all integrated and camouflaged with the surrounding environment, so that they are not visible, not even in daylight hours. In compliance with regional laws – which are concerned with the reduction of the luminous flux emitted towards the sky –, Enel Sole provided a separate system dedicated solely to the artistic lighting, which automatically turns on and off as programmed. The LED projectors were chosen in function of the goods to be illuminated, of their size, and wwwof their architectural characteristics. They provide a total power of 1,35KW, reducing consumptions and maximizing energy savings. LUCE 321 9
