Trying to outshine the heavens, Diao Xu compares himself with lights

Diao Xu, a member of the 21st “Yangguang Overseas Lighting Tour” and from Beijing Bicheng Chuangjing Landscape Art Co., Ltd., is comparing his figure with a light fixture!

A relaxing moment at the exhibition: an on-site art installation

Took the wrong light??

Xu Qinghui: Germany also has knock-offs. At first glance, this label looked off; on closer inspection, the color temperature of one letter was clearly wrong. Hehe, probably picked up the wrong one~

Super impressive wall washer!

Xu Qinghui: Check out this amazing tool – a super impressive wall washer! The first image shows a linear type, the second shows multiple units combined. Look at the wall yourself: the uniformity is excellent, and notice that sharp cutoff line! More importantly: the size is very small, about 80 mm. Also, it’s fully recessed, with no components protruding from the ceiling!

Bright ball by day, light by night?

Looking for expertise or just for fun?

Xu Qinghui: Looking for expertise or just for fun? Let’s share two fun finds: 1. A giant underwater pool wall light! Visually estimated at >500 mm. 2. A wall sconce, a recessed wall light, and a floor lamp placed together create the illusion of a continuous light band!
