Outdoor Light Show Across the Han River in Xiangyang

A Large-Scale Outdoor Light Show for the 2026 Hbei Cultural Tourism Development Conference

On September 15, 2026, the 2026 Hubei Cultural Tourism Development Conference opened in Xiangyang, Hubei, China, with the debut of A Millennium of Xiangyang, a large-scale light show spanning both banks of the Han River.

 

More than 400 LiGHT SKY outdoor fixtures, including SHARK LASER and SHARK PROFILE, were deployed across bridges, riverside areas and historic landmarks. Instead of a conventional stage, the Han River itself became the central stage, connecting the city’s river, bridges and ancient architecture through light.

 

Connecting Both Banks with Dynamic Beams

As the main beam fixture, SHARK LASER creates a powerful visual framework across the river. With 439,000 lx at 20 m, its high illuminance helps maintain clear, visible beams across the river from the opposite bank.

Installed at multiple points along bridges and riverside areas, its long-range beams extend across the Han River, forming large-scale beam patterns that follow the structures of the bridges and connect different areas of the Han River.

Multiple prism effects and CMY color mixing add movement, texture and color variation to the beams. As the light travels across the river, beams intersect and separate above the water, while their reflections add another layer of depth to the scene.

During high-energy sequences, rapid beam movement and strobe effects further enhance the rhythm and visual impact of the performance.

 

Riverside Lighting

SHARK PROFILE was deployed at the Han River South Bank Gate Wharf as part of the outdoor lighting system for the riverside tourism area.

Working alongside the river cruise performance and lighting across both banks, it helps extend the lighting experience along the Han River.

 

Built for Outdoor Light Shows

With IP66 protection, both SHARK LASER and SHARK PROFILE are designed for demanding outdoor applications.

For A Millennium of Xiangyang, the fixtures support not only the opening performance of the cultural tourism conference, but also the ongoing operation of the city’s nighttime tourism experience.

From the riverbanks to sightseeing boats, changing viewing positions reveal different relationships between the beams, bridges, water reflections and historic architecture.

 

The result is a city-scale lighting experience where light, landscape and history become part of the same stage.
