Creating a Connection Day and Night
New lighting system extenuates the unique architect of connecting land and water
Symbolizing the connection between land and water under the vision by architect Larry Malcic, the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam (PTA) is now being enjoyed day and night by passengers and local residents.
The PTA is a unique building with its undulating roof, large glass windows, and huge interior wooden beams located on the river IJ just a stroll away from the historic Amsterdam City Center. Since its opening in 2000, more than 2,100 ships and 3.8 million passengers have visited the terminal to enjoy the beautiful modern architecture, as well as views of the port and city.
To extenuate the architectural beauty of the facility, the PTA now has a state-of-the-art nighttime lighting system that has become a must-see for travelers and local citizens. The PTA specified 172 Acclaim Lighting Dyna Drum SO QW, which were delivered and installed by Dutch partner ULC Technisch Beheer BV.
The Dyna Drum SO Color is a high output, outdoor rated, LED flood fixture with a wired digital communication network. The fixture features spectrum technology to offer more usable colors, including pastels, dedicated whites, and dynamic white options, all in the same system. In addition, it has an adjustable yoke, on-board digital display, and a 100-277VAC internal power supply. The Dyna Drum SO Color is ideal for facade lighting applications and as an area floodlight.
The lights in the PTA are controlled by an Obsidian Onyx system, programmed by Tibbe Warnier, to highlight the entry to the world-class tourist destination and capital of the Netherlands.
