At Changsha's Xiangjiang Happy Ocean, LED lighting traces the amusement rides and brings color to themed buildings and sculptural features. The project combines facade washes, linear accents and floodlighting with DMX512-controlled lighting scenes.
Xiangjiang Happy Ocean brings together large ride structures, themed buildings and sculptures beside a waterfront. Each needs a different lighting treatment: long LED lines make ride structures legible at a distance, color washes cover architectural surfaces, and directional floodlights pick out larger three-dimensional features.
Closer to visitor routes, aiming and brightness matter as much as color. Fixtures need to limit direct glare without washing out the details of nearby attractions. Outdoor mounting, protected cabling and maintenance access are also part of the specification, particularly around operating rides.

Elevated ride structures are seen across the park and from the waterfront. Continuous linear lighting helps define their track and support geometry, but the result depends on consistent fixture alignment and clean joints. On curved sections, the profile or segment layout must suit the radius. Any mounting on a ride structure requires coordination with the ride engineer on vibration, movement clearances and servicing.
The original project specification lists 36 W RGBW wall washers for broad architectural surfaces and 150 W RGBW floodlights for larger features. Wall washing spreads color across a facade; directional floodlighting reveals depth in rocks, sculptures and irregular forms. Beam angle, throw distance and shielding determine whether these features remain distinct without excess spill into visitor areas.
The recorded luminaire configurations use DMX512 control. Assigning channels to compatible fixtures or groups lets operators control color and dimming by attraction area rather than applying one scene to the entire park. For longer outdoor runs, controller capacity, DMX universe allocation, signal distribution and accessible service points should be planned together. These decisions make scene changes and routine maintenance easier to manage.
The engineering discussion covers the architectural lighting package; projection and other show effects are separate systems.
The film shows illuminated ride structures across the waterfront. The photographs document color washing on themed buildings and the accents used on sculptural features and visitor-facing facades.

Wide views show how lighting defines the attractions at park scale; closer views reveal the surface texture and color balance of individual features.
RGBW Wash Lighting for Themed Facades
HL Standard is a catalog option for color washing on broad themed facades. For an RGBW scheme, specify the required color configuration and select optics to suit wall height, surface finish and mounting setback. DMX512-compatible options support integration into a zoned lighting system.
Floodlighting for Large Sculptural Features
The V260 is a catalog option for larger rockwork, sculptures and architectural features where a directed beam is needed. Assess the required RGBW configuration, beam spread and aiming position to reveal the shape without excessive spill onto nearby paths or attractions.
Straight Ride and Architectural Outlines
The 12 W RG Covered profile can be considered for straight outline sections and architectural edges. Fixture length, joints and cable exits need to be coordinated for a continuous appearance. Curved runs require a compatible layout or an alternative profile; ride-mounted applications also need mechanical and maintenance review.
These are current CRANE catalog options for comparable lighting tasks, not verified model numbers installed at Xiangjiang Happy Ocean. The final specification depends on color, optics, power and control requirements.

CRANE's project record lists 36 W RGBW wall washers, 150 W RGBW floodlights and 12 W LED linear lights. The specification table identifies IP66 protection and DMX512 control for these groups. The catalog models recommended on this page are alternatives for similar work, not a verified installed-model list.
DMX512 channels can be assigned to compatible fixtures or groups so ride outlines, themed facades and sculptural features respond to separate color and dimming cues. The number of DMX universes depends on the fixtures' channel modes and the scale of the installation.
Rigid profiles work best on straight runs or layouts divided into short sections. Tighter curves usually need another fixture geometry or a flexible linear product. Ride-mounted lighting must be reviewed with the ride engineer for fixing, vibration, movement clearance and servicing.
No. IP66 indicates dust-tight protection and resistance to powerful water jets. It does not confirm suitability for vibration, mechanical loads, corrosion exposure or moving ride components. These conditions require a separate engineering check before installation.
Share the park layout, attraction elevations, fixture mounting locations and intended lighting scenes. Include power supply information, required RGBW or other color options, the control interface, installation restrictions and expected project schedule. These details help CRANE prepare a relevant luminaire and control proposal.
Send the park layout, ride elevations or themed facade drawings, along with the intended color scenes, mounting conditions and control requirements. CRANE can review suitable luminaires, optics and DMX512 zoning for a project-specific proposal.
