Dawn and Dusk

 

Inspired by the northern sky and the Estonian folklore tale Koit ja Hämarik, the "Dawn and Dusk" lighting concept brings the ruins of the historic Tartu Cathedral to life. Designed by Light to Light, this poetic illumination replicates the soft gradients of twilight—warming from the base to a reddish glow at the top, mimicking the natural rhythms of sunrise and sunset.

 

Inspired by Estonia's northern skies and the folklore tale Koit ja Hämarik, the "Dawn and Dusk" lighting concept transforms the historic ruins of the Tartu Cathedral into a poetic display of light and shadow. Designed by Light to Light, the project replicates the warm glow of dusk, transitioning from subtle golds at the base to rich reds at the top, capturing the natural rhythm of day and night.

 

The installation integrates several Lumenpulse families, including Lumenfacade Color Changing and Nano Dynamic White, as well as Lumenbeam Grande, Large, Medium, and Small in both Color Changing and Dynamic White versions. Lumenbeam Inground fixtures also contribute to the immersive composition. These luminaires were selected for their precision optics, seamless control, and ability to remain visually unobtrusive within the historic architecture.

 

This project masterfully balances heritage preservation and sustainability. With hidden and carefully tuned light levels, it avoids light pollution and protects the surrounding ecology. The result? A landmark that glows gently within its dark park setting—honoring history, culture, and the night sky.
