Ams Announces Lighting System For Architectural Scale Models

PRLog (Press Release) – May 14, 2008 – Applied Model Solutions, Inc. (“AMS”) has developed, and released a lighting system for lighting the interiors of architectural scale models. Used primarily as a sales tool for residential condominium projects, the system is computer controlled, entirely solid state, utilizing LED lights. The combination of these three elements makes the system extremely reliable. The system has been fully tested, and implemented in several applications to date.

The lighting system is very flexible, and is easy to operate. When prospective buyers visit the sales center, the sales staff may use a hand held device to turn individual units on, thereby creating a sense of ownership for the prospective buyer. The system offers the capability to turn on like floor plan units, so that prospective buyers may see where all the 2 bedroom units are in the building for example. Moreover, units that have been purchased may be turned off to eliminate any confusion for buyers in terms of what units are still available for sale. At night, the system may be set to automatically oscillate the lights. This is especially useful in applications where the model is placed in a window at street level.

The interface to the lighting system may be as simple as using a TV remote, or as complex as a flash based touch screen, or screens. AMS provides custom flash front end interfaces as part of a total solution, or interfaces the lighting system to third party flash products. “Although this lighting technology is proprietary to AMS, the integration to any third party front end (flash interface) is simple” says Coombe.

The solution(s) are very adaptable and affordable for clients. The application is much more effective than “flood lighted” models that simply turn the entire building on/off, or inferior non-solid state approaches where unsightly wires are visible throughout the model. Of course, AMS continues to provide custom landscape lighting solutions as well for pools, planters, streetlights, et al.
