Eagle Square, at the entrance of Tirana in Albania, was renamed in November of 2012 in celebration of the country's 100 year anniversary. Standing majestically in the city square is a 10m tall, double-headed eagle, the symbol on the Albanian flag. Made of steel and weighing some 12 tons, it was created by Albi Cifligu of Podium Sh.p.k.
Saturating the monument in Albania's national colour of deep red are Exterior 430s from Martin Professional's award-winning Exterior 400 range of outdoor LED luminaires. Eight Exterior 430s, supplied by local Martin distributor Prosound Audio and Light, are used to uplight the eagle.
Lighting aspects of the monument were also handled by Albi Cifligu who turned to the Exterior 430 after a recommendation by Prosound sales manager Kliton Gjika.
"The only lighting fixture that can turn black metal red is the Exterior 430 so I suggested it to Albi for this purpose," Kilton states. "With its single red LED, the power is massive."
