Renewal of lighting

Street lighting is most often renewed in conjunction with street renovations or when new streets are built. Energy efficiency is important when selecting new lights.

LED lights can be precisely adjusted. For example, their power is reduced at night when there is less traffic. This saves energy without compromising safety.

Responsibilities and fault reports

If you notice a fault or malfunction in the outdoor lighting, please submit a report through the electronic feedback system. This ensures the fault is processed as quickly as possible.
