Project Tracking | How Shone LED Floor Tiles Withstood 48-Hour Flooding & 3 Years of Service

18/07/2025
Three years ago, Typhoon Doksuri triggered severe flooding in Baoding, Hebei, submerging both Lighting Park and the Huibo Shanggu Plaza project site. Shone waterproof LED floor tiles installed at ground level were immersed for 1-2 days. Post-flood inspections confirmed all LED floor tiles remained fully operational.
Today, after three years, the Shone LED floor tiles at both sites continue to function stably.

▲ In August 2023, on-site testing was conducted immediately after the flood receded (before the mud and debris were cleared), and all Shone bricks were found to be functioning normally.
▲ Three years post-immersion: LED floor tiles at both projects show no performance impact.
The projects' success and longevity stem from close collaboration:
•    Design: Beijing Tsinghua Tongheng Urban Planning and Design Institute crafted Lighting Park's landscape and Huibo Shanggu's interactive plaza.
•    Installation: Beta Intelligent Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and H&C Technology Pty Ltd, specification-compliant installation and construction management.

Three critical factors ensure long-term performance:

01. Core Technical Assurance

Patented dual-structure design with resin potting, plus pre-delivery "Double 85" testing (85°C/85% RH, 1000hrs) and IP67 water immersion certification, guarantee resilience in harsh outdoor environments.

02. Specification-Compliant Installation

Engineering partners followed technical installation standards, particularly for waterproof wiring connections and sealing, ensuring system reliability.

03. Operational Endurance Validation

Recent audits confirm zero performance degradation in Shone LED floor tiles from the flooding 3 years prior. Maintenance frequency and replacement rates remain below industry averages. The "Colorful Clouds Holding the Sun" zone (Lighting Park) and "Waltz" interactive plaza (Huibo Shanggu Plaza) continue illuminating night activities for residents and visitors.
Time Proves Value
Three years of uninterrupted operation across both projects validates the LED floor tiles’ design integrity, manufacturing quality, and installation precision. These cases demonstrate that specification-driven, performance-oriented lighting solutions endure time and environmental challenges in public spaces.
