La Porta Co., Ltd. lights up "Mitsushima" in Toba City, Mie Prefecture with LED floodlights.

La Porta Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 6897-5 Nakahara, Suruga Ward, Shizuoka City, Representative Director: Noboru Katsumi) has designed and constructed a lighting system to illuminate the scenic site of Mitsushima, located off the coast of Toba, at the request of the Kohama Ryokan Town Revitalization Association, which consists of ten accommodation facilities in Kohama Town, Toba City, Mie Prefecture.
This lighting project aims to promote the charm of Toba through a fantastical landscape, especially as the Ise-Shima region gains national attention due to the Shikinen Sengu (ceremonial transfer) of Ise Jingu Shrine.
■ Implementation Method
LED floodlights have been installed on the 8th floor (30 meters above sea level) of the Toba Grand Hotel, directing light towards Mitsushima, which floats 500 to 700 meters offshore. This concept was initially planned about five years ago under city leadership but was abandoned due to costs.
Illuminating an object 700 meters away with LED lighting is quite challenging, and several products that seemed suitable were tested. Given that the lights would be used at sea, the conditions for the products were very strict, including ensuring no interference with ship operations (light pollution measures) and resistance to salt damage.
The LED lamps used are ultra-narrow beam floodlights with a beam angle of over 3° and high power, with measures taken for salt damage and wind resistance, including the mounting structure.
