◉ Project Origins
FENGYI Lighting was commissioned to design and implement the lighting system for ATOM TOKYO -SHINJUKU-, aiming to create an immersive and visually striking nightclub experience. The client sought a design that would set the venue apart in Tokyo’s competitive nightlife market. The project’s scope covered full lighting system development, from conceptual design to hardware production, installation, programming, and commissioning, emphasizing interactive and kinetic lights effects to enhance guest engagement and reinforce the venue’s brand identity.
◉ Project Challenges
(1) Technical or Execution Challenges
Varying ceiling heights and complex architecture made even light distribution difficult. Synchronizing kinetic arc lights with music required precise motion and pixel control, while smooth fixture movement and seamless transitions demanded advanced programming and on-site adjustments.
(2) Resource or Time Limitations
The project had a tight schedule with limited manpower. Hardware production, software integration, and on-site installation had to meet strict deadlines, requiring efficient planning and task management to ensure high quality without delays.
(3) Communication and Coordination Challenges
Multiple teams worked across regions. Time zones and language differences added complexity. Clear documentation, protocols, and regular virtual meetings ensured smooth coordination, aligning technical standards, design expectations, and installation progress.
◉ Solution
(1) Technical Solution
FENGYI Lighting used kinetic arc lights with dual-control. MA consoles and Madrix software managed lifting and pixel effects, synchronized with music for fluid motion, dynamic colors, and interactive, immersive visuals.
(2) Project Workflow Design
Site surveys and spatial analysis guided fixture placement. Hardware and software were integrated, programmed, and tested on-site to ensure consistent, immersive lighting aligned with the client’s vision.
(3) Innovation
Triangular kinetic arc lights added unique vertical motion. Pixel-controlled strobes and dual-control allowed separate motion and color management, enhancing interactivity and creating a multi-layered, visually striking nightclub experience.
◉ Technical Highlights
◉ Implementation
(1) Project Timeline
The project followed a structured schedule: site survey and design, hardware production, system integration, installation, programming, fine-tuning, and final handover. Each phase included iterative testing to ensure system stability and optimal performance in the nightclub environment.
(2) Key Stages
Design involved fixture selection and dual-control architecture planning. Installation required precise placement, wiring, and integration of kinetic arc lights. Commissioning included programming dynamic sequences, music synchronization, and iterative fine-tuning to achieve the immersive visual experience envisioned.
(3) Team Division & Collaboration
Designers, engineers, and programmers collaborated closely, both on-site and remotely. Detailed documentation, digital models, and virtual meetings ensured alignment of tasks. Close coordination between motion engineers and lighting programmers guaranteed seamless integration, reliable performance, and precise execution of complex lighting sequences.
◉ Project Outcomes
(1) Quantifiable Results
The innovative lighting contributed to a 15% increase in daily foot traffic and extended customer dwell time. The kinetic lighting system consistently attracted new patrons and maintained high engagement, demonstrating a clear link between lighting innovation and business performance metrics.
(2) Client & Audience Feedback
Guests praised the immersive, interactive lighting experience, particularly the dynamic motion of kinetic arc lights. The client highlighted the system as a major differentiator, and media coverage emphasized the nightclub’s unique visual appeal and cutting-edge design.
(3) Brand & Business Impact
The project strengthened ATOM TOKYO’s brand image, positioning it as a trendsetter in Shinjuku nightlife. The advanced lighting system boosted visibility, customer loyalty, and inspired other venues to adopt similar kinetic lighting solutions, enhancing overall market competitiveness.
◉ Lasting Impact
