Lighting streets safely & sustainably

Lighting streets safely & sustainably

Safety for road users and at the same time reduce energy consumption & light emission

Street lighting - what matters?

The road lighting fulfills many important functions. The most important tasks are the increase in traffic safety and the guarantee of a frictionless traffic flow. In addition, it promotes the well-being and thus the quality of life in commercial and residential areas. It thus also contributes to the identity of a city or community by putting it in perspective.

As Swiss market leader in public lighting, we plan and realize day-to-day future-proof and needs-based lighting in public spaces.


Align light to demand

What type of road is to be illuminated? What is the frequency of use? Are there any conflict zones? And which road users use this road?

Main roads
For main roads, traffic-dependent control is a good option.
Neighborhood streets
Time-dependent light control is suitable for neighborhood streets.
Bike and foot paths
Where only selective light is needed, motion-dependent control makes sense.

Sustainable public lighting

FOEN enforcement aid in practice

Artificial light has many advantages that we do not want to do without. To use the advantages and reduce the disadvantages, it is important from the outset correct to plan. This is also the starting point for the Execution aid light emission from the BAFU . In addition, power consumption, operating and maintenance costs, and unwanted light emissions can be reduced.

Whoever wants to illuminate efficiently and sustainably should pay attention to the correct balance between safety, environmental protection, well-being, and energy efficiency, also taking into account the possibility of reducing the CO2 footprint.

That is why you should also choose sustainable street lighting

Complexity of the possibilities

Another challenge is the increasing complexity due to the possibilities of sensor technology and control. The development of intelligent lighting systems that enable individual control and adaptation of lighting helps to further reduce energy consumption and to adapt lighting to the needsof users.

.

That's why, on the one hand, we attach great importance to ensuring that our products are easy to understand, install and maintain. And on the other hand, that they can be extended and combined with other systems as desired through standards such as Zhaga-D4i and API interfaces.

. To our products
Energy efficient
LED street lighting is economical in power consumption. Properly controlled, you can reduce the consumption and electricity costs of your street lighting by up to 80 percent.
Future-proof
Our modern LED luminaires have Zhaga D4i interfaces. This means they are controllable and can be equipped with sensor technology if required.
CO₂ Reduced
Thanks to our partnership with myclimate, you can offset the CO₂ footprint of our luminaires.

We are daily on duty for you

When planning a new street lighting system, the type of road, the traffic volume and the road users involved are relevant. Standards, energy optimization and light emissions are also an issue. We are here for you.

Current issues in street lighting

The operation of non-optimized street lighting is maintenance and energy intensive. Purely, by switching to LED, operating costs can be reduced by up to 60%.  In addition to choosing the right LED luminaires, sensor systems as well as intelligent light management systems also make a significant contribution to massively reducing maintenance costs, power consumption and light emissions in the public sector.
