100mm DMX 3D Pixel Tube Project for Urban Landscape Lighting in New Zealand

Ledcolourlight proudly presents this striking urban landscape lighting project in New Zealand, featuring our 100mm DMX 3D Pixel Tubes installed along a waterfront promenade to create a dramatic and immersive nighttime visual experience. Designed to blend architectural aesthetics with programmable media lighting, the installation transforms a public cityscape into a vibrant landmark through dynamic color effects and synchronized illumination.

The project showcases how intelligent pixel lighting can elevate urban environments, not only enhancing nighttime identity but also enriching visitor experience through interactive and artistic lighting design.

Project Overview

For this landscape lighting installation, the client selected 100mm diameter 3D DMX Pixel Tubes, each 2 meters long, creating a bold vertical lighting rhythm along the waterfront walkway. Mounted in a continuous sequence, the illuminated tubes form a sculptural light corridor that extends into the distance, delivering impressive perspective and visual depth.

By day, the fixtures integrate cleanly into the architectural environment. At night, they become luminous art elements, activating the waterfront with programmable RGB scenes, flowing color chases, and immersive ambient effects.

The warm amber scene of the installation, where glowing vertical pixel tubes line the promenade, adds elegance, atmosphere, and modern identity to the public space. The warm tones highlight the hospitality surroundings while reflecting beautifully off the waterfront.

And a contrasting cool blue programming scene, demonstrating the flexibility of the DMX-controlled pixel system. The repeated reflections on the water emphasize the 360-degree lighting output and show how the tubes interact not only with architecture, but also with surrounding natural elements.

This project is a perfect example of combining lighting technology and urban design.

Product Specifications Used in This Project

The installation features Ledcolourlight’s premium 100mm DMX 3D Pixel Tubes, configured as:

• Diameter: 100mm
• Length: 2 meters
• LED Quantity: 240 LEDs
• Pixel Resolution: 40 pixels (6 LEDs per pixel)
• Voltage: DC24V
• Control Protocol: DMX RGB
• Waterproof Rating: IP65
• Housing: Milky white PC diffuser tube
• End Caps: Black anodized aluminum end caps

This configuration offers a balance of high brightness, smooth pixel mapping effects, and durable outdoor performance.

360-Degree Uniform Illumination

One of the defining features of this product is its 360-degree omnidirectional lighting output, achieved through dual-sided LED board construction inside the tube.

Unlike traditional linear fixtures that emit light in only one direction, the 3D pixel tube produces uniform illumination visible from all angles, making it ideal for open-space installations and public environments.

Benefits include:

• Even full-round glow
• Superior color mixing
• Soft diffusion without hotspots
• Strong visual impact from multiple viewing angles
• Enhanced reflections on surrounding surfaces and water

In this project, the 360-degree output plays a key role in producing the striking reflections seen across the marina.

Dynamic DMX Control Effects

Using DMX RGB protocol, each tube is individually pixel-controlled, allowing dynamic programmed effects such as:

• Color transitions
• Flowing chases
• Waves and ripple effects
• Gradient scenes
• Interactive media animations
• Festival and holiday-themed lighting shows

With 40 controllable pixels per fixture, the installation can achieve both subtle ambient scenes and complex media-driven animations.

This flexibility makes the system suitable not only for static urban beautification but also for event programming and seasonal city activations.

Built for Outdoor Architectural Lighting

For permanent exterior applications, durability is essential. This project benefits from Ledcolourlight’s premium construction and weather-resistant engineering.

→ High Quality Materials

The fixture uses a 2mm milky white PC diffuser tube for soft and uniform light output, combined with black anodized aluminum end caps that provide both a refined appearance and strong mechanical protection.

Compared with lower-grade market alternatives, the robust housing and premium materials offer:

• Higher structural strength
• Better UV resistance
• Improved long-term outdoor durability
• Professional architectural finish

→ IP65 Waterproof Protection

With IP65 waterproof performance, the pixel tubes are designed to withstand:

• Rain
• Humidity
• Outdoor environmental exposure
• Coastal installation conditions

This makes them ideal for waterfronts, plazas, bridges, and public landscapes.

Why 100mm 3D Pixel Tubes Are Ideal for Landscape Projects

The 100mm diameter offers several advantages for large-scale outdoor lighting projects:

→ Strong Architectural Presence

Its larger diameter creates a bold visual statement suitable for public landmarks and large open spaces.

→ Enhanced Diffusion

The wider diffuser delivers softer, richer luminous surfaces and better viewing comfort.

→ High Pixel Performance

With 240 LEDs and 40 pixels per fixture, the tubes support detailed media effects while maintaining strong brightness.

→ Premium Urban Aesthetics

Combined with black aluminum end caps and milky housing, the fixtures offer a modern architectural appearance suitable for premium public projects.

Application Possibilities

Beyond this New Zealand waterfront project, 100mm DMX 3D Pixel Tubes are ideal for:

• Urban waterfront lighting
• Bridge lighting projects
• Public art installations
• Smart city lighting
• Cultural districts
• Parks and promenades
• Hotel and commercial landscapes
• Architectural media facades

Their combination of lighting effects, durability, and customization makes them a powerful solution for creative outdoor projects worldwide.

Customized Solutions for Creative Projects

As with all Ledcolourlight pixel products, these 3D pixel tubes support project-based customization, including:

• Custom lengths
• Custom diameters
• RGB or RGBW options
• DMX or SPI control
• Mounting solutions
