In the plenary chamber, the high illuminance level required for TV broadcasts is achieved using 200 spotlights with Vario-lenses for 150W HIT-CE with 4200K, which also ensure visual comfort for the parliamentarians. The Vario-lenses enable the lighting designer to adjust the beam angles individually to suit the different distances to the illuminated areas.
