Oberkassler Bridge - Düsseldorf, Germany

The aspect of safety was of central importance. The high traffic density across the bridge caused vibrations that in the past led to a higher failure rate for the lighting. This was reason enough for refurbishment of the lighting installation. The new system with amber-coloured LEDs achieves energy savings of 59 watts to 18 watts per light point. Getting noticed at all costs was the main thing to be avoided with this project.

Precise specifications exist to ensure that the cityscape is not completely changed with the new lighting. The new luminaires were designed and implemented according to the example of the obsolete lighting system, and as such the technical transformation is not noticed. Failures are avoided by using maintenance-friendly and mature LED lighting, and this also creates safety and orientation for traffic participants.
