Reference project · Facade, stairwells and projection
AstraZeneca
A glass facade that changes character with the evening – from calm white light to full RGBW scenes, lit stairwells and gobo projections visible from afar. Uplight developed the concept and technical documentation and supplied the entire system: luminaires, cabling and control.
From idea to light visible from afar
A project where concept, technology and delivery fit together – and where the client can keep creating new scenes year after year.
- 01ConceptThe lighting concept was developed together with lighting designers Andreas Milsta and Hampus Simmons: coloured glass facades, highlighted stairwells and gobo projections that give the building its own identity after dark.
- 02Technical documentationLuminaire selection, positions, power runs, cabling and DMX structure – complete documentation that made the installation predictable for the electrical contractor.
- 03Everything from one supplierUplight supplied all luminaires, cables and control systems and worked closely with Europaljus and Caverion all the way to commissioning.
- 04Control over IPSYMPHOLIGHT on a Lighting Control Engine 3 MX with PRO DMX nodes, distributed over the network. Short DMX lines out at the luminaires, IP all the way and scenes that can be changed centrally.
The same facade – new expressions
The glass facade that changes colour
Washer Pro Maxi and Linear Plus colour the glass facade and stairwells from the inside out. The scenes change with the seasons, holidays and campaigns – and are reprogrammed centrally without anyone having to touch the luminaires.

Colour changes in real time
The facade goes from white to full RGBW and back – smooth transitions controlled by SYMPHOLIGHT on a Lighting Control Engine 3 MX. The PRO DMX nodes sit close to the luminaires and communicate over IP, giving short DMX lines and a reliable installation that is easy to expand.
