Médiathèque d’Orange
Vaucluse, FranceLighting that supports focus, comfort, and community
Médiathèque d’Orange set out to create a space that is both welcoming and highly adaptable. From quiet reading corners to vibrant reception areas, the goal was to deliver the right light for every activity while maximising efficiency and sustainability.
Lighting Control Solution
Helvar Partner EvoLight implemented a complete DALI lighting control solution, giving the library seamless and intuitive management across all areas.
• Lighting that adapts to a dynamic environment: The solution fine-tunes intensity zone by zone. Soft, warm light promotes focus in reading rooms, while brighter, vibrant light energises reception and communal spaces.
• Hands-free adaptability: Presence and daylight sensors adjust lighting in real time. When spaces are empty, lights switch to standby or off, cutting energy use without compromising safety. Daylight harvesting balances natural and artificial light for comfort and efficiency.
• Automated control: An astronomical clock keeps lighting in sync with time of day and opening hours, ensuring the right ambiance without manual input.
Results That Matter
The Helvar lighting control solution has transformed Médiathèque d’Orange into a modern, efficient, and inspiring space.
✔ Seamless comfort: Lighting automatically adjusts to each activity, from quiet study to community events, creating the right atmosphere for every visitor.
✔ Energy savings: Intelligent demand-based control and daylight harvesting significantly reduce energy consumption and costs.
✔ Future-ready flexibility: The DALI infrastructure allows for easy reconfiguration and expansion as the library’s needs evolve.
✔ Smarter operations: Automated scheduling simplifies building management, freeing staff to focus on supporting users rather than adjusting systems.
By combining performance, adaptability, and user-focused design, Médiathèque d’Orange has become a hub where light, comfort, and sustainability come together.
