Light exactly to the point
Bourscheid Castle is the largest castle complex in Luxembourg and one of the most important castles between the Rhine and the Meuse. Its origins date back to the year 1000, the building was completed around 1430, but fell into disrepair after being abandoned in the 19th century. Today, the castle belongs to the state.
The two buildings that have been reconstructed according to the historical model include the Stolzemburger Haus and the gatehouse. Recently completed with a modern extension in timber construction, it also houses the banqueting hall, which can accomodate up to 120 people for events and celebrations.
LED Luc spotlights in combination with a louvre system on the ceiling ensure optimum illumination. Sockets are embedded every 400–500 mm so that the spots can be repositioned depending on the event.
Thanks to the magnetic base and the fully rotatable ball joint, the light beam of the individual LED Lucs can then be positioned extremely flexibly and precisely and adapted to the respective seating situation.
