Hexogon Solution Pte Ltd has been appointed to light up the city of Singapore during
the 2015 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix Night Race since 2013. Until now doing so
with conventional flood lights, this year they opted for the LED technology by SGM.

Hexogon Solution Pte Ltd, formally known as Mozz Creation, dates back to 1997.
The Singapore-based company has much experience within national and
international events such as the digital projection for South East Asian Games
Opening and Closing Ceremony, setting Guinness World Record for the greatest light
output in a projected image.

For their architectural illumination at the recent Formula 1 race in Singapore,
Hexogon acquired 220 SGM P-5 wash lights, each consisting of 44 high power 10W
RGBW LEDs. These were deployed to enhance the iconic and historic buildings
around the race track including the Super Trees at the Garden By The Bay, Victoria
Concert Hall, Formal Supreme Court and City Hall.

Managing Director, Adrian Goh, knew the challenges from the previous race events:
“For some of the installations, we are not allowed to place our lighting equipment at
the ideal spots, so alternatives have to be suggested. Also, as this is a night race,
the entire race track would be brightly lit, creating a wash out effect onto our
installations, which for most parts of them are located just beside the track. So a
lot of trial and error on site is required.’

Replacing the conventional lighting with the LED effects of the P-5s added
advantages in size versus weight and flexibility in colour adjustments. “We feel that
the fixture is compact, uniformity is good and of course the brand’s ongoing efforts
to make IP65 rated products is our key requirement,’ Goh informs, revealing his
intention to extend his new fleet of P-5 wash lights.

The installations were in place for two weeks, though the race lasted only three
days. This transformed Singapore’s skyline into a beautiful canvas creating the
perfect background setting for the highest class of auto racing in the world.

Attracting 86,970 spectators daily, taking in the special atmosphere, further millions
of television viewers followed the TV broadcast. Praise went out for the event
worldwide with e.g. New York Times stating: “When it became the first night race in
the series, Singapore fulfilled its promise: The cars looked great under the
floodlights, the city street circuit was dynamic, and its backdrop, a mixture of
modern and colonial architecture, was a stunning visual success on television.’
