Hertz Pier Bar Coastal Lighting Project | Immersive Harbor Light & Shadow Design
The core challenge for Hertz Pier Bar was to perfectly integrate the raw texture of a waterfront industrial space with the refined, dreamy atmosphere required for high-end leisure consumption. The lighting design was required to both echo the architectural language of the pier—such as steel structures and open spaces—and create an extraordinary, intoxicating ocean-themed immersion.
Our solution is a clearly layered “Harbor of Light” system. Twenty bee-eye lights form the visual foundation. Their unique micro-lens array projects countless independently twinkling light dots, accurately simulating the fine “rippling shimmer” of water under moonlight or artificial light. These dots can rise and fall like tides, or flow directionally as if blown by wind, laying a vivid and profound ocean-themed base across the entire venue. Ten full-feature effect lights act as “mist creators” and “color artists.” Using high-speed rotating prisms and diverse dynamic gobo wheels—featuring water flows, ripples, and cloud patterns—paired with soft color gradients, they generate hazy “sea mist” and gorgeous “sunset glow” effects in the air, greatly softening the rigid lines of the industrial space and adding romantic and mysterious emotional layers.
Fifteen high-power beam lights serve as the “structural brush” of the space. Their sharp, bright beams simulate the exploratory pillars of lighthouses, the navigation trails of vessels, or the structural lines of dock cranes. They perform fast, precise scanning and cutting, defining strong visual paths and geometric frameworks in the space, creating dramatic contrast with the gentle shimmer of the bee-eye lights.All three types of fixtures work in synergy via a central control system, performing a complete light and shadow narrative from dusk berthing to midnight surging tides, turning Hertz Pier Bar itself into a dynamic art installation that blends marine ambiance and industrial aesthetics.
Client Background
Hertz Pier Bar is located in a renovated waterfront industrial warehouse in Vancouver, Canada. The client aimed to retain original industrial elements such as high ceilings and steel structures, while injecting a modern, refined, and distinctly ocean-themed leisure ambiance to attract designers, artists, and high-end consumers pursuing unique experiences.They were not satisfied with conventional decorative lighting, and urgently required an intelligent professional lighting system that could strengthen their “pier” themed IP, enable day-night scene transitions, and flexibly adapt to diverse operational modes—from quiet lounge hours to vibrant parties.


Cooperation Process
The collaboration began with the client’s clear demand for “industrial-style coastal aesthetics.” Our team first conducted on-site environmental analysis, including architectural structure, material reflectivity, and sea view visibility, and jointly defined the core design concept: “Light flows into the space like tides.”We then proposed a systematic solution that uses bee-eye lights to simulate water shimmer, effect lights to render atmosphere, and beam lights to outline structures, accompanied by full-scene dynamic 3D rendering for demonstration.
Upon approval, we coordinated customized production compliant with Canadian CSA/UL standards, efficient international logistics and customs clearance, and dispatched engineers for on-site installation supervision, system integration, and programming. Finally, we provided operational training and a library of preset scene programs tailored for different time periods and events for the bar’s team.
Product Details & Technical Specifications
The product combination for this project is designed to interpret pier lighting in all dimensions, from microscopic twinkles to macroscopic structures.
Product Highlights & Features
Bee-eye Light: Its core value lies in creating delicate “light graininess” and “sense of volume.” The light dot matrix formed by hundreds of independent optical lenses can be programmed to achieve dynamic effects like wave propulsion, making it the key to realizing the thematic soul of “water surface reflection.”
Full-Feature Effect Light: Its core strength is powerful “texture generation” and “color blending.” High-speed prisms produce infinitely extending light rays, simulating sunlight penetrating sea fog; rich gobo wheels—especially water and cloud patterns—and a linear CMY color mixing system seamlessly create sea and sky scenes under various weather and time conditions.
High-Power Beam Light: Its core advantage is providing “directionality” and “sense of power.” An extremely narrow beam angle simulates long-range lighthouse beams, and fast positioning movements outline visual lines similar to cables and ship tracks, injecting clear structure and dynamism into the overall gentle atmosphere.

Client Testimonial
“Lighting has been the greatest magician in transforming an old warehouse into the Hertz Pier we know today. Fengyi’s solution perfectly captured our vision: the bee-eye lights turn the concrete floor as if into a flowing sea surface; the colors from the effect lights drape warm sunset glow over cold steel; and the beam lights act like lighthouses guiding ships home, full of strength and narrative.
What our guests say most often is, ‘The light and shadow here make you forget time.’ This system has not only increased our average spending per guest, but also made us a popular subject covered by local design and lifestyle media. The Fengyi team’s deep understanding of the theme and solid technical delivery capabilities are truly outstanding.”
