Adaptive street lighting for Buxtehude

For a harmonious streetscape, the colour temperature of urban outdoor lighting is generally uniform. In Buxtehude, predominantly warm-white LED solutions are used. The warm white light is perceived as particularly pleasant and atmospheric. Moreover, it is less attractive to many insect species than cool-white LEDs. Cold white light, by contrast, provides better visual orientation and contrast perception. Thanks to integrated lighting management, these advantages can be realised with a single system. The Hanseatic city of Buxtehude is using this flexibility as part of a pilot project.  

Moreover, it is an important step for Buxtehude on the road to becoming climate‑neutral by 2035, as the Hanseatic city regards the energy consumption of its infrastructure as a climate‑relevant factor. Retrofitting to efficient luminaires such as the Jovie LED plays a decisive role in reducing energy consumption and thus also offers an important avenue for other cities and municipalities to lower their energy costs and meet their climate targets.
