First Highway Service Area with LED Lighting

Germany is initiating a trend in Europe – with the first highway service area equipped with brilliant modern LED lighting at the A24 in Walsleben, the Federal Ministry of Traffic is setting international standards. LED street lighting is the future technology - as they are remarkably lighter, more energy-efficient and have longer lifetime. Security is enhanced as dark areas and long shadows belong to the past. The pilot project in Walsleben East will demonstrate the superior performance of LED technology.

In this future oriented market with high growth potential, the Ministry is betting on a luminous source from Germany that is technically advanced. The lamps installed in Walsleben service area have been developed in Germany, the modules (Lightengine by Lumenova) are manufactured in Esslingen, Germany, and the completed lamps are supplied by 2KMoxa Lighting in Thuringia.
In the coming years, about one third of the existing street lightings will be replaced by more energy efficient alternatives. Following the success in Walsleben, the LED development in Germany provides a solution to light up streets, both domestic and international.
