Fort Langley
British Columbia, Canada
- Inspired, harmonious lighting renewed public interest in a historic landmark and created
new opportunity for evening events. Specific challenges addressed included preservation of
historic structure, reduction of energy requirements and low maintenance fixtures. LED
lighting, for seven buildings, two bastions, a colonnade inside the fort, a 240m palisade
and surrounding landscape, operates on 2kw, representing over 60% reduction in energy
consumption.

"...Using a delicate hand, Zbrizher devised a lighting concept that touches each individual structure, as opposed to merely shining light from the distant corners of Langley. The design allows visitors to experience the Fort and its history as it was intended..."
