Bao'en Temple | Carrying the Light of History, Continuing the Spirit of Gratitude

Source: 中国之光网 Views: 2445

Born into this world, one should know gratitude.


As we unroll the yellowed scrolls of ancient history and examine the precious cultural heritage and artistic monuments born on the land of China, we discover that "gratitude" is an eternal theme. Our ancestors drew immense spiritual strength from gratitude, shaping the gentle yet powerful Chinese nation.


Today, with gratitude in our hearts, we reshape history through lighting. We adorn the ancient pagoda that carries familial bonds and the monument commemorating heroes with brilliant lighting, standing tall in the city night, so that stories of gratitude are passed down from generation to generation.

Suzhou Bao'en Temple


The Bao'en Temple Pagoda stands 76 meters tall. Its spire utilizes Sanan Optoelectronics' SL1269 long-distance floodlight, achieving a maximum projection distance of 160 meters from the luminaire to the farthest point on the illuminated surface.


The tower body uses Xinlong Optoelectronics' SL1272 for floodlighting, with a maximum projection distance from the luminaire to the farthest point on the illuminated surface of up to 113 meters.


All luminaires adopt the Xinlong Superlight optical architecture and Zoomneo color algorithm to achieve precise light control at narrow angles and long distances, as well as high-quality white light output. This delivers optimal lighting effects without compromising the ancient pagoda's silhouette, accurately restoring its artistic ambiance.

The Suzhou Revolution Museum holds significant historical commemorative value. Its overall architecture features distinct revolutionary memorial themes and a rich historical and cultural atmosphere. In nightscape lighting, light must be used to convey cultural information, transforming it into an iconic urban nightscape landmark.


The museum building has a large volume, and the Sanan Optoelectronics SL1136 floodlight uniformly illuminates it from a distance, making it the visual focal point of this area.

Gratitude

Gratitude is an enduring topic

It has nothing to do with religion

Beyond Borders

Unrelated to race

is simply a faith that upholds good intentions

Whenever the morning bell and evening drum sound

I hope we can all take a moment to sit down

Drink a bowl of tea and think carefully

This journey has been dusty and tiring

Is gratitude always in your heart?
