As the sun sets on the Futian central business district in Shenzhen, the crowd is greeted by a breathtaking light show. Across the facades of about 43 buildings, a colourful dragon dances in perfect sync as it jumps from one skyscraper to another. Controlling more than one million LEDs from a single location is the e:cue lighting and control technology developed by Traxon Technologies. Traxon e:cue has built a reputation as a global leader in dynamic lighting. With an impressive portfolio of projects spread across the globe, Traxon e:cue offers cities and corporate giants immersive new technologies that enable storytelling across large-scale facades, stadiums, public realms and more in a completely new light.
“We are so proud to be part of something beautiful yet powerfully functional,” said Selina Lo, CEO at Traxon e:cue. “We are truly passionate about helping city governments and building owners communicate their messages through positive media using our lighting technologies. We rejuvenate cities and give life to buildings.”
Traxon has a long history in Hong Kong. After it was founded in Frankfurt in 1995, the company moved its headquarters to the Asian city in 1997. From there, the company expanded its global footprint. In 2011, Traxon e:cue formally became part of Osram, which is a global leader in lighting technology. Leveraging its global network and cutting-edge technology, this lighting specialist became a complete solutions provider in dynamic and smart lighting across all the seven continents.
The light display in Futian is just one of many in the company’s long list of projects around the world that showcase Traxon e:cue’s capabilities. In Asia, Traxon e:cue is behind the innovative lighting structures installed for the Tianjin Binhai New District in mainland China, the M+ museum in Hong Kong, the TechnoPark Tower in Vietnam, the MahaNakhon Tower in Bangkok and the Golden Temple in India. In North America and Europe, Traxon has also built a reputation with the lighting installations on the One Manhattan West building in New York City, the Four Winds Residences in New Orleans, the Palliser One building in Calgary and the Kula Belgrade tower in Serbia. Apart from the highly successful smart street lighting project in Macau, Traxon e:cue has also brightened up stadiums worldwide, including the Geolog Stadium in Russia, the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia and the National Stadium in Poland.
