MUNICIPALITIES, COMPANIES AND RESEARCHERS LOOK AT THE LIGHTING OF TOMORROW
The streetlamps in Albertslund Municipality are being replaced with modern LED lights, leading to an expected 60-80% savings on electricity, equalling 3.5 million Danish kroner annually. To find the perfect solution, gain experience and get inspiration, the municipality set up the Danish Outdoor Lighting Lab (DOLL) in cooperation with researchers from the Department of Photonics Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark.
