Making of…K-LED Blizzard Clip!

17-12-2018

Icy perfection is definitely how to describe the HELLA K-LED Blizzard, the successor to the K-LED FO. Inspired by the design of its predecessor, the K-LED Blizzard shines and sparkles because of its state-of-the-art LED technology and its other numerous highlights: its robust construction boasting an impact-resistant dome, a flexible pipe socket and extremely low installation height. One particular advantage is that beacons of the K-LED FO series can be exchanged like-for-like with the K-LED Blizzard series.

Photography so cool, it's ice cold
Again, this perfectly sums up the K-LED Blizzard photoshoot, because we simply felt that such a cool beacon deserved ultra cool pictures.

The K-LED Blizzard first had to be "chilled in the fridge", i.e. frozen solid for 24 hours, before the renowned ice designer Horst Birekoven, with his skilful hammering, grinding and melting, could begin turning the block of ice into a miniature work of art.
Then everyone had to dress up in warm clothes because the photographer, the film team and the lighting designers were all heading for the refrigeration room. The most impressive light paintings were created in the -12 degree atmosphere. The photos that were shot were just as impressive as they captured the exact character of the powerful and robust K-LED Blizzard.

But take a look for yourselves because, as everyone knows, a picture is worth a thousand words:

By the way, for this project the K-LED-Blizzard was kept in a constant frozen state for a total of two weeks, and was still completely functional afterwards!
