Where there is light, there is also shade.
The inefficient lighting of the past.

Around a third of the city lighting in Germany is at least 20 years old. Back in those days we had the VW Santana, the Ford Taunus and the Trabant on our roads. Those old gas-guzzlers generated huge amounts of CO2.

Though such techologically outmoded cars have almost vanished from the urban landscape, in many places

the old street lighting remains. In fact, public lighting accounts for almost 50% of local authorities' spending

on energy.

 

Since the Kyoto Protocol, the demand for intelligent solutions has become increasingly vocal. With the EuP Ecodesign Directive (2005/32/EC), the EU has set binding minimum standards for energy efficiency in ballasts and illuminants. Outdated illuminants such as the high-pressure mercury lamp

do not comply with the standard and are no longer being awarded the CE mark. So from 2015 they will not be permitted to be sold in the EU.


The automotive industry is continually bringing intelligent innovations to our roads. Technical developments affect all vehicle components and new cars incorporate qualitative improvements in every area.

 
Huge technical advances have found their way into city lighting, too. 

Efficiency is  the solution of the future. Modernising systems in an intelligent way improves lighting quality and, at the same time, significantly reduces energy costs.
