Amsterdam’s World’s First Entirely LED-lit Highway Supported by Philips

Philips cooperates with the Rijkswaterstaat (RWS - the Dutch highway authority), contractors Gebroeders Van der Lee and consultants Spectrum, has installed LED lighting along a 7km-length of the A44, one of the busy highways of Amsterdam.

The installation will be officially operated in February.

In comparison with around 60% of the energy consumed by the Netherlands’ motorways and waterways used for lighting, the Philips installation on the A44 will save some 180,000 kWh per year – the equivalent energy consumption of 50 households.

The Philips LED and dimming solution on the A44 will save more up to 40% of the energy currently consumed by the previously lighting on the highway, with a similar reduction in CO2 emissions from the energy use.

Frank van der Vloed, General Manager, Philips Lighting Benelux, pointed out that “The aim for our collaboration with the Rijkswaterstaat is to implement lighting solutions that both save energy and require less maintenance work on the roads. Together, we will help provide a safe night time driving experience while helping to lower energy consumption.”
