What the buyer is looking for

Type of service: Electrical engineering: Dismantling of existing installations, supply and installation of LED luminaires, adaptation of lighting infrastructure and establishment of intelligent lighting control Scope of performance: The existing street lighting on campus will be converted to energy-efficient lighting technology (LED luminaires). In the course of the modernization, an intelligent control system is installed, which makes it possible to automatically reduce the illuminance in the night hours. During low-traffic and low-use times, the brightness of the street lighting is lowered, so that sufficient illumination remains to ensure safety and orientation, while at the same time significantly reducing energy consumption. If necessary, certain areas can still be operated with higher illuminance or controlled as required by motion or presence sensors. The measure contributes to…
