Lighting of the Jacobins Square and Fountain
After two years of renovation, Jacobins Square and its fountain were inaugurated in June 2013, offering Lyon residents a renewed public space in the heart of the Presqu’île.
The City of Lyon and Atelier Roland Jeol designed a lighting scheme worthy of this heritage site, combining LED technology with refined conception.
For the square:
191 BOURGOGNE – 1750 recessed dome-head projectors (Ø 44 mm, 24 V DC, 1 high-power LED) were integrated into the ground to form a luminous spiral around the fountain, bringing a gentle, dynamic rhythm to the esplanade.
Around the fountain:
- 12 LUCERNE – 1830 custom wall-mounted fixtures with three adjustable LEDs
- 12 custom linear lighting elements
A lighting design conceived to elevate this architectural masterpiece and offer a renewed nocturnal experience.
