Public buildings
Solutions for state and municipale facilities
The public sector has a wide range of tasks to perform, and illumination is required by a wide variety of companies and authorities. These include, for example, municipal waste disposal companies and sewage associations as well as municipal road maintenance depots or police stations. Each of these areas presents its own challenges.
Luminaires in public spaces: Target of vandalism and tampering
Lighting in public spaces is repeatedly exposed to vandalism. Sometimes, frustration manifests in wilful attempts to destroy or tamper with surrounding property. Caution is called for in these situations, as broken or smashed luminaires can pose a safety risk. Graffiti also restricts functionality, often resulting in an insufficient illumination level. The design and material of the luminaires are robust and protect against vandalism. In fact, a special coating on the covers makes it easier to remove paint. Special screws ensure that the housing cannot be opened by anyone, and a concealed cable entry protects supply lines from tampering. Finally, high impact resistance ensures that brute force has little effect.
Recycling and water management – chemical resistance required
In public spaces, the destructiveness of individuals can be dangerous to luminaires, whereas in the field of recycling and water management, it is often the surrounding atmosphere: Chemicals attack the material or penetrate the luminaire and damage the electronics. Frequent failures and high maintenance costs are usually the outcome. This is why special attention is to be paid to the resistance of the material to toxic vapours such as ammonia. The tightness of the luminaire is also important in some cases, for example, in drinking water tanks.
Sport and venue arenas
Facilities for popular sports, such as multi-purpose halls, sports halls and swimming pools, are often operated by local authorities and communities. Find out more about illumination in these settings in our information on the topic of Sports and events facilities.
LED lighting for rail transport, road transport and traffic management systems
Municipal transport companies and road maintenance services have their own unique challenges when it comes to lighting. Find out more about illumination for bus and train operations as well as tunnel and traffic guidance systems in our information on the topic of Deutsche Bahn/public transport and Tunnels and traffic.
