Luminis provided its LED lighting fixtures to the lighting design project at the Rivierè-des-Mille-Îles Park in the city of Laval, Quebec. The natural attraction encompasses an array of natural forest, waterways, marshland and coastline and welcomes over 150,000 visitors annually.

Luminis’ high performance Syrios LED fixtures were selected to illuminate the welcome center both inside and out. The project’s lighting designer capitalized on the Syrios family’s flexible design potential, integrating a combination of exterior wall-mounted, and interior wall-mounted and pendant luminaires within the family.

Energy efficiency was a factor in the decision to use Luminis fixtures, as the building was built to the specifications of the LEED New Construction 2009 GOLD certification. The stringent process required that the Centre achieve high performance in key areas of health and the environment, including water and energy savings, recuperation of rain water and natural ventilation.

The energy-saving features of the Syrios family adhere to the strict LEED GOLD certification criteria. All luminaires are designed for performance, reliability and durability. Each fixture features an integral LED sealed light module designed for optimal heat dissipation and lighting performance.

The exterior of the split-level pavilion is a striking mix of wood siding and large floor-to-ceiling windows. The main entrance and wraparound patio stand out with a sweeping overhang canopy of steel and wooden beams. Luminis’ Syrios SY602 fixtures are mounted on the wood panels between windows; the uplight accentuates the wooden canopy above and the downlight pushes light to the surrounding visitor walkway and patio below.
