Elos undertook a massive project in Osijek to retrofit the city’s existing 11,000 light points. The entire project was funded by the city’s energy savings fund. Connected lighting in key areas within the city provided additional savings and future-proofing benefits.
The project design was done by an independent contractor and focused on energy efficiency. Four different luminaire types were installed in various areas of the city. These included the historical center, parks, pedestrian paths, and streets. High-quality luminaires had to provide a comfortable warm color temperature of 3000 K while also creating minimal light pollution.
Energy efficiency was key throughout the project. Each luminaire was able to be individually dimmed, while selected zones were given additional features such as cloud control and data collection.
