Hengmingzhu Financial Center

Located on the financial street with the highest concentration of financial institutions in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, this 230-meter tower is the tallest building in Western Shenzhen and Bao'an’s first landmark financial hub.

The curtain wall lighting, designed by LEOX design partnership, employs a minimalist approach. A primary 5000K color temperature, complemented by 3000K, uses pure linear lighting paired with floodlighting to accentuate the building’s modern, elegant aesthetic while emphasizing its slender verticality and substantial presence.

Lighting ultra-tall glass curtain walls presents unique challenges: achieving striking nighttime effects while preserving daytime aesthetics. Through rigorous structural analysis and effect requirements, project contractor R&H Lighting Design implemented innovative breakthroughs:

• All luminaire structures were pre-coordinated with the curtain wall contractor for seamless integration and future maintenance.
• Shone's 48W/m and 24W/m wall washer lights for the outer profile were delivered to the curtain wall factory. These fixtures were integrated into curtain wall aluminum panels, ensuring perfect alignment.

This integration enhanced efficiency and preserved the building’s clean exterior lines.

As an experienced outdoor lighting company, Shone Lighting supplied the key 48W/m and 24W/m wall washer lights for the façade. We actively collaborated with partners to customize solutions, illuminating Bao’an’s premier financial landmark:

Light Source & Control

• Energy-efficient LEDs.
• Special optical treatment for uniform illumination without dark zones or glare.
• DMX512 control enabling multi-mode, multi-timeframe scenes for varied ambiance and energy savings.

Fixture Integration & Installation

• Shone partnered closely to integrate wall washer lights into curtain wall panels for unified installation.
• Aluminum cable trays, color-matched to the façade, were concealed within the curtain wall.
• All fixtures featured safety suspension chains for reliability in extreme weather.

At nightfall, the lighting emerges from and blends into the architecture. Light reveals the tower’s texture, structure, layers, and atmosphere, creating a dynamic, iconic nighttime landmark. The illumination becomes an extension of the architecture itself.
