Basilica Of St. Theresa Lighting

The basilica of St. Theresa turns out to be a fine expression of neo-Gothic architecture, richly adorned inside with marble facings and sculptures, mosaics, and pictorial wall decorations.

The design proposal replaced an outdated traditional system with an eco-sustainable system, with flexibility and technical characteristics that allow to enhance and protect the cultural-architectural asset and at the same time provide a more adequate service to the liturgies that take place in it. The lighting fixtures were positioned in such a way that they could enhance the architectural structure for the entire height of the walls, using directional optics that allow for uniform light distribution, but at the same time generating areas in penumbra.

The lamps used for all projectors are of the LED type that do not produce ultraviolet or infrared radiation, which is harmful to artwork.

The whole system involves being able to act on the control and regulation of artificial light according to changing daylight and weather conditions.

The use of LED luminaires allows control of luminances, dimming of light with dimming of intensities.

These adjustments make it possible to create evocative lighting scenarios that help emphasize the various celebrations by enhancing the symbolism of the specific rite.

The design amount of light is about 80 lux for the nave during ceremonies and 40 lux during daytime, while for the chancel it will be about 150 lux average with accents up to 250 lux

For altar, ambo and tabernacle.
