Monument protection
The historic staircase of the castle is a real gem and is under special protection. Structural changes to the banisters were therefore not permitted. Nevertheless, emergency lighting up to the assembly point was required by law. The circumstances therefore not only required careful planning, but ultimately also the approval of the authorities and the heritage office.
The STRING ARC emergency sign luminaire was installed flush into an existing column (free-standing, monolithic pillar). A locksmith provided the necessary opening and we attached the lighting to the pillar with magnetic strips. Despite the limited space, we found enough room behind the stele for the necessary electronics. The result was the perfect solution for the staircase in the castle, which retains the historical charm without having to make any changes to the banisters.
Architectural
The architect's clear ideas allowed for an elegant solution: the escape sign and safety luminaires were integrated into a single aluminium housing and mounted on the column to match its size.
Not emergency light
We used an escape sign from our STRING series labelled "Enter". When someone enters the registration area, a blocking cross becomes active to signal to those waiting that the spa registration area is currently occupied and no one can enter.
