Hansam System recently installed a comprehensive Martin by HARMAN lighting
solution in Lotte World Tower, South Korea’s tallest skyscraper and the fifth tallest
building in the world.

Featuring 123 floors, Lotte World Tower is home to a wide range of facilities and public
spaces, including business offices, private residences, a luxury hotel, a mega mall, a
cinema, an aquarium, a concert hall and a large observation deck. The building
owners hired Hansam System, Co. and lighting consultants EOS SLD and
Nikennomura to design an ambitious lighting solution that would visually enhance the
architecture of the building’s roof, observatory ticketing area and a grand ballroom.
After careful consideration Hansam System, Co. selected a full array of industry-
leading Martin fixtures for their creative versatility, rich colour palette and proven
reliability under adverse weather conditions.

“This was an amazing project to be involved in,’ said Hongsik Kim, CEO, Hansam
System. “We are honoured to have our work seen by anyone who visits Seoul. The
exceptional brightness and vibrant colours of Martin fixtures are a perfect match for
an application of this magnitude.’

“It’s an honour for our products to highlight such an iconic landmark,’ said Ramesh
Jayaraman, vice president and general manager of HARMAN Professional Solutions.
“Lotte World Tower is a world-class building that will attract millions of guests in the
years to come, and thanks to a complete Martin by HARMAN solution implemented
masterfully by Hansam System, its magnificent architectural design will be a beacon
of light to all who see it.’

In order to increase the building’s visibility, Hansam System deployed Martin Exterior
Wash 210 fixtures on Lotte World Tower’s lantern-shaped roof, which can now be seen
from miles away. Designed to illuminate large structures, building facades and
bridges, the Exterior Wash 210 offers superior colour mixing and is IP-rated for
permanent outdoor use.

“Because of the dangers involved with maintaining fixtures at this height, we needed
the lighting fixtures to be durable and reliable enough to withstand the wind and the
rain,’ said Dongjim Kim, Sales Manager, Hansam System. “We had faith that the
Martin Exterior Wash 210 fixtures would not fail in adverse weather conditions.’

Expected to draw around 3 million visitors annually, the Seoul Sky Observatory at the
top of Lotte World Tower offers breathtaking views of Seoul and its surrounding area.
To create an exciting atmosphere while visitors wait in line for a ticket, Hansam
System installed Martin VC-Dot 1 LED string lights in the ceilings, which are controlled
by a Martin P3-050 system controller.

“The space we had to work with posed some difficulties, but the VC-Dot system made
customising the configuration very simple,’ said Kilyoung Jung, Director of Sales,
Hansam System. “This was our first time using the Martin P3-050 system controller,
but thanks to its intuitive design, we got the hang of it in no time. The P3-050 allowed
us to create inspired scenes which maximise the potential of the VC-Dot LED string
lights.’

The Signiel Seoul Hotel occupies the 76th to 101st floors of the tower and features a 5
920-square-foot grand ballroom that can accommodate up to 300 seated guests. The
ballroom is outfitted with a range of Martin fixtures, including MAC Viper Profile, MAC
Viper Wash, RUSH PAR2 RGBW Zoom and RUSH PAR2 CT Zoom. To provide unique
and intimate environments at a wide range of events.

“To enable a wide variety of lighting scenarios, the lighting fixtures in the ballroom
should be flexible and powerful,’ said Sungyu Kim, Sales Manager, Hansam System.
“The MAC Viper Profile and MAC Viper Wash can handle the needs of any event,
whether supporting a dramatic performance, providing a theme for a wedding or
strobing a dance floor.’
