KLUS JAZ LED Extrusion Used In World's Largest LED Structure

The incredibly talented Karolina Hałatek of Poland has created what could be the world’s largest LED structure.

The project titled BEACON was unveiled during the famous festival of light and art in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The installation with KLUS LED lighting fixtures has been entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest LED structure in the world with 272 160 light points.

Beacon is a light installation by Karolina Hałatek, who was the only Pole among dozens of artists from around the world invited to take part in the Noor Riyadh Festival in Saudi Arabia, which took place in 2021. The festival of light and art in Riyadh featured 33 light installations and a retrospective exhibition “Light Upon Light: Light Art since the 1960s”, presenting the achievements of over 30 light artists and over 270 other activities, in which world-famous designers and light artists participated.

The Beacon installation with KLUS LED lighting fixtures is an amazing, light pole directed towards the sky, inviting one to enter. Karolina Hałatek told about this extraordinary event and her project in a special interview for Propertydesign.pl

The word beacon means a guiding light, navigation light, it can be a lighthouse or a point of light in space. The Beacon installation has the dimension of horizontal navigation, it is designed so that its light is visible from a very large distance, to form a reference point. The installation points vertically towards the sky when you enter its luminous interior and look up.
The formal means used are a symbolic reference to existential issues, seeing life as a path on which we need to be guided in material and spiritual matters. A very important aspect of the installation is its immersion, which gives you the opportunity to “immerse” yourself in the light, enter the area of experience “here and now”, allow you to contemplate and calm down.

The project took eight months of daily intensive work to complete.
