A Lasting Legacy that Saves Energy
Every city, large or small, has its own artistic and architectural heritage that is unique, priceless, and worthy of illumination. Architectural lighting has embellished many cultural, historical and artistic landmarks and landscapes, both in Italy and abroad. Enel X Global Retail offers cities solutions for permanent and temporary architectural lighting, and also partners with them on every step of their implementation — from project design to financing (including the construction phase), from sourcing materials to installation, from construction project coordination to building maintenance.
Over 30 years, Enel X has developed over 2,000 architectural lighting projects, generating substantial savings up to 70% for its public and private clients. Some examples include: Rome’s Pantheon, the Pompeii archeological site, the lakeside promenade of the town of Stresa and the Royal Alcázar in Seville.
Architectural Lighting Solutions
Our Approach
Enel X provides an end-to-end service, from project design and financing to installation and maintenance. We offer a wide range of flexible solutions that can be adapted to multiple contests and different needs. Let the beauty shine on!
Permanent Lighting Installations
The goal of this type of installation is to enhance areas and locations of a city that are undergoing urban refurbishment as part of a long-term renewal process. The choice of devices and lighting sources is carefully analyzed and the overall project is designed hand-in-hand with the client and local authorities in accordance with the laws, the aesthetics of the location and a careful study of the surrounding environment.
Temporary Lighting Installations
Temporary scenographic lighting can change the face of your city, transforming any urban canvas into a work of art. Colorful lights, still-image and dynamic projections, lightmapping, videomapping: each of these options can enhance a holiday or special event. We promote innovative solutions that create unique, scenographic effects, reinventing light as a means of communication and entertainment that can create opportunities to broaden and diversify your city’s touristic offering.
Operations & Maintenance
Enel X has long-term experience in optimizing energy consumption as well as operations and maintenance (O&M) of the lighting devices. We offer programmed O&M plans covering both the status/replacement of lamps and their correct positioning and lighting effectiveness.
