The historic Schinkel street lights in the city of Leipzig has got an LED makeover with Braun Lighting Solutions of Berlin and Future Lighting Solutions.

Compared with the 85W power consumption of the lamps they replace, the LED lamps consume only 22W. It is expected to reduce the street lights’ CO2 emissions by 60.8 tonnes per year.

Future Lighting Solutions helped in the design phase by providing a simulation of the first prototype, implemented at its Lighting Resource Center in Montreal, Canada. It also helped with the selection of electronic lighting components and connectors.

The distributor supplied the Luxeon Rebel LEDs manufactured by Philips Lumileds, ensuring consistency of light output at a colour temperature of 2700K across all the LEDs supplied in the production shipments to Braun Lighting Solutions.
 
The conversion to LED technology will increase energy efficiency, durability and lower maintenance costs.
