Sunac Wanda Realm Kunming is a nightscape lighting design for a hotel complex built in an ancient Chinese architectural style. The lighting covers an area of 70000 square meters in Kunming, a historic city with a multi-ethnic culture. A warm white tone is used as the main color, with a uniform color temperature of 3000K. Wall washers, small spotlights and customized luminaires create washing and blooming effects. Brightness is graded by node to avoid a monotonous appearance. The design reflects local culture and keeps the ancient character of the architecture at night.
