In
what came as no surprise to all parties involved in its creation, the stunning
LED feature wall on the Craigieburn Bypass received more acclaim last Friday
night when it was awarded the “Lighting Award for Excellence” by
IES-The Lighting Society.
This prestigious award was presented to engineers Webb Australia in conjunction
with supplier Lightmoves. This team has already won acclaim in the past, having
worked together on a number of major projects including the Victorian Arts Centre
Spire. 
IES - Illuminating Engineering Society of Australia & New Zealand- is an organisation that aims for the advancement of both the art and the science of illumination throughout mainland Australia and New Zealand. Their annual awards are much sought after and held in very high regard within the industry.
After an initial brief from the client VicRoads, the Craigieburn LED wall was originally designed by landscape architects Taylor Cullity Lethlean, and Webb Australia in collaboration with local artist Robert Owen and was first opened to the public on 21 December 2004. Lightmoves worked closely with Brisbane-based supplier Digilin to design and develop a suitable LED fitting for the project. Lightmoves then worked in conjunction with electrical contractors Alstom Australia to install the custom made fittings in one of the most ambitious feature lighting installations ever undertaken in Australia.
This now award-winning project is further proof that design really is only limited by one’s imagination.
