BATUMI, Georgia – CHAUVET® lights one of the historical buildings in Era Square of the subtropical European city of Batumi located on the shores of the Black Sea. A former national bank for decades, the building is under construction inside, but completely refurbished on the outside, uplit by 121 COLORado™ 3p IP and 33 COLORado™ 1 IP fixtures.

Both carrying an IP 66 rating and designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions, COLORado™ 3p IP and COLORado™ 1 IP are perfect for this permanent outdoor installation in a climate where showers are frequent all yearlong. The lights dress all four levels of the building’s exterior in beautiful, saturated washes. The architecture combined with the lighting design transform this building every night at twilight into a fairytale-like castle. All fixtures have been programmed to automatically startup when ambient light gets low.

Audio and lighting company Sound Design Studio based in Tbilisi, worked with lighting company Adjarganateba, of Batumi, to complete the entire installation in only six days. The tight deadlines were in place to meet a scheduled Enrique Iglesias concert held in Era Square presented by Batumi City Hall.

“I was pleasantly surprised with how these lights perform,” said Vladislav Turiashvili, technical director for Sound Design Studio. “Everyone agrees that this is the brightest building in Georgia. From the beginning, nobody believed these fixtures are that powerful,” Turiashvili said. “You can easily see how it stands out from the background of other lit buildings in Era Square.”
