Three years ago, Typhoon Doksuri triggered severe flooding in Baoding, Hebei, submerging both Lighting Park and the Huibo Shanggu Plaza project site. Shone waterproof LED floor tiles installed at ground level were immersed for 1-2 日. Post-flood inspections confirmed all LED floor tiles remained fully operational.
Today, after three years, the Shone LED floor tiles at both sites continue to function stably.
In August 2023, on-site testing was conducted immediately after the flood receded (before the mud and debris were cleared), and all Shone bricks were found to be functioning normally.
Three years post-immersion: LED floor tiles at both projects show no performance impact.
The projects' success and longevity stem from close collaboration:
- Design: Beijing Tsinghua Tongheng Urban Planning and Design Institute crafted Lighting Park's landscape and Huibo Shanggu's interactive plaza.
- Installation: Beta Intelligent Technology (Beijing) Co., 株式会社. and H&C Technology Pty Ltd, specification-compliant installation and construction management.
Lighting Park: Shone marbling LED floor tiles define plaza contours.
Huibo Shanggu Plaza: Shone round LED floor tiles create an interactive plaza.
Three critical factors ensure long-term performance
Core Technical Assurance
Patented dual-structure design with resin potting, plus pre-delivery "Double 85" testing (85°C/85% RH, 1000hrs) and IP67 water immersion certification, guarantee resilience in harsh outdoor environments.

Specification-Compliant Installation
Engineering partners followed technical installation standards, particularly for waterproof wiring connections and sealing, ensuring system reliability.

Operational Endurance Validation
Recent audits confirm zero performance degradation in Shone LED floor tiles from the flooding 3 years prior. Maintenance frequency and replacement rates remain below industry averages. The "Colorful Clouds Holding the Sun" zone (Lighting Park) そして "Waltz" interactive plaza (Huibo Shanggu Plaza) continue illuminating night activities for residents and visitors.
Time Proves Value
Three years of uninterrupted operation across both projects validates the LED floor tiles' design integrity, manufacturing quality, and installation precision. These cases demonstrate that specification-driven, performance-oriented lighting solutions endure time and environmental challenges in public spaces.
