Client needs
- Create a distinctive public atrium identity connected to airport circulation
- Guide passenger movement through layered linear and accent lighting
- Support programmable light-and-sound show programming for visitor experience
- Maintain operational efficiency across mixed retail, leisure, and transit zones
Technical challenges
- Large glass-domed atrium requires balanced illumination across multiple vertical levels
- High visitor volumes demand glare-controlled optics and clear circulation hierarchy
- Event lighting programming must coexist with everyday wayfinding requirements
- Mixed-use zones require consistent lighting language across retail and transit interfaces
Mihoray solution
Apply layered linear lighting across atrium levels to define spatial hierarchy and guide circulation.
Use programmable scene control to switch between daily operation and light-show event modes.
Deploy warm-to-neutral white illumination in circulation zones to preserve passenger comfort.
Integrate zoned dimming and centralized scheduling to optimize energy across operating hours.

- Linear illumination enhances wayfinding clarity across multi-level public spaces.
- Layered control model offers a practical template for mixed-use airport developments.
Project background
Jewel Changi Airport combines transportation connectivity with a landmark public atrium featuring retail, gardens, and the Rain Vortex — the world's tallest indoor waterfall. Publicly observable lighting practices show how linear and accent illumination can unify transit, leisure, and destination experience within a single development.
Design approach
The benchmark approach uses layered atrium lighting: structural accent lines at upper levels, comfortable circulation illumination at pedestrian scale, and programmable accent layers for scheduled light shows. This maintains wayfinding clarity while supporting spectacle programming.
Installation process
Reference implementations integrate atrium linear systems, accent fixtures, and control networks into a coordinated management framework. Commissioning emphasizes scene consistency across retail, garden, and transit interface zones.
Technical specifications
Context: Mixed-use airport atrium and public realm Lighting type: Linear accent + wayfinding + event scene Control: Centralized smart scene management Operational pattern: Daily base mode + scheduled light-show modes Energy strategy: Zoned dimming, schedule control, and LED-forward infrastructure
Project outcome
For Mihoray, this benchmark highlights capability alignment for transportation and mixed-use hub projects where linear lighting systems must deliver visual identity, passenger comfort, and programmable operational flexibility.

FAQ
What lighting products are suitable for riverfront projects?
Common configurations include outdoor linear lights, wall washers, and in-ground fixtures with controlled beam distribution for walkway comfort and water-edge visual hierarchy.
How should I select waterproof linear lighting for outdoor landmarks?
For long-term exterior reliability, projects typically prioritize IP67/IP68 protection, corrosion-resistant housings, stable connectors, and installation methods aligned with maintenance access.
Which control systems are commonly used in landmark lighting?
DMX-based scene control and DALI-compatible dimming are widely used, often combined with centralized scheduling for daily operation and event mode switching.
Can Mihoray customize fixtures for benchmark-style urban projects?
Yes. Mihoray supports OEM/ODM customization including profile dimensions, optical output, mounting structures, and control compatibility for project-specific requirements.
