subject: Architectural Creativity With Bega Lighting [print this page] Electricity is indeed a boon to mankindElectricity is indeed a boon to mankind. After artificial lighting was developed, man was able to call this creativity into play so after all the practical bits like lighting homes and work spaces were done, lighting became a toy to be wielded like a magic wand. The most discerning of these musicians choose Bega lighting.
The first choice of architects and designers for illumination, Bega is able to hold on to its coveted status simply because of the innovative products the company makes that are only of the highest quality. The German-based Bega, and its American counterpart, Bega-US, offer a three-year warranty on their products and also have the UL label on them.
It is used in many different applications worldwide. One notable example is the Hessing car dealership in Utrecht, Holland. An impressive building that combines noise protection with an eye-catching, avante-garde, aerodynamic structure perfectly highlights the skills of Dutch architects. The low-key glass and steel serves to showcase the cars on the inside but at night - the building truly comes alive. Some have described it as a landed spaceship with the envelope of glass floodlighted from below. This is definitely not your typical car dealership at all.
The St. George Ferry Terminal on Staten Island in New York is another structure that is illuminated by Bega lighting. The terminal has been in use since 1955 and is currently getting an upgrade. The now-green main terminal has panoramic glass walls for natural daytime lights and breath-taking views of the Manhattan skyline. But it becomes a dramatic structure at night when the clean, almost nautical, lines of the building are illuminated.
But Bega is not just limited to prominent structures. Their main thrust is to highlight the complex dimensionality of our world and add interest to human ideas and creations by imparting an added attribute of light to the structures. With this lighting hard at work, we'll have bright lights in our big cities for quite a while.
