LH to Host Outdoor Lighting Design Competition for Complexes

[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) is holding a contest to create customized nighttime landscapes using outdoor lighting.

On the 13th, LH announced that it will implement the "Apartment Outdoor Lighting Contest" for the first time in Korea. This contest is designed to break away from the monotony of uniform outdoor lighting and create premium complexes through customized light production and design for key spaces within the complex. While there have been contests for indoor lighting design, this is the first time a contest for outdoor lighting is being held domestically.

The contest will target Block A-104 in Hwaseong Dongtan 2. The selected spaces, considering resident activities and complex planning, include five areas: ▲Entrance space (gate) ▲Street space (walkways, trails, etc.) ▲Community space (playgrounds, resting areas, etc.) ▲Garden space (landscape-specialized areas, water features) ▲Other spaces (sculptures, etc.).

Participants must be small and medium-sized enterprises with direct production certificates, KS certification, and delivery records in the relevant field. They are required to submit design plans that place outdoor lighting such as security lights, walkway lights, and tree projection lights in key areas of the complex, allowing differentiation by space.

Judging will be based on a comprehensive evaluation of technical skills including design, lighting production, and spatial harmony (90 points), along with bid price evaluation (10 points). Winning entries will be selected, and the final winning company will be granted the delivery rights for the contest target district. Additionally, the winning works will be displayed at exhibitions and events hosted by LH in the future.

Applications will be accepted from the 14th to the 18th of next month. After judging on the 25th of next month, an awards ceremony will be held in line with the "2020 Jinju Public Housing Culture Festival" scheduled around October.

Through this contest, LH plans to discover excellent SME products and promote technological development in the stagnant lighting industry, thereby contributing to the creation of social value through mutual growth.

Han Hak-gyu, Director of LH Public Housing Department, said, "Through this first-ever domestic contest, we expect to reflect residents' demand for enhanced outdoor lighting and advance LH's outdoor lighting design, contributing to customer satisfaction and improvement of housing quality."
