Save energy and reduce light pollution with sustainable public illumination by Lemnis Lighting

In 2008 Lemnis Lighting launched a revolution in public lighting: the het Lumis-LED luminaire. This LED lighting solution for the public space saves 30 to 70 percent energy in relation to traditional lighting. With the Lumis-LED, public authorities can make a giant step in reducing energy use, CO2 emissions and light pollution. Street light by Lemnis Lighting guarantees excellent vision, is remarkably energy efficient, has a long lifespan, requires little maintenance and is available for immediate placement. Moreover, the luminaires are dimmable, for even larger energy savings.

The Lumis-LED is available in three light color combinations (Green, Ecowhite and Moonlight) and in a variety of light output powers. The Lumis-LED is a retrofit luminaire with a 20 year lifespan that fits any mast, if necessary through the use of an adapter. The Lumis-LED is applicable for residential areas, parks rural areas, tunnels, parking spaces, cycle paths, and naturally for public roads and thoroughfares. More than 150 projects have already been realized in several different countries.

Lumis-LED, the sustainable luminaire for the public space

The Lumis-LED by Lemnis Lighting is more effective than traditional street lamps in light output as well as energy efficiency and environmental footprint. The Lumis-LED's color spectrum matches the way the human functions at night. As a result, residents and road users can see better and farther, even at lower light intensities. The cleverly designed luminaire limits light pollution to a minimum. The human eye is very sensitive to certain light colors at night, it only needs a small amount of light from this spectrum in order to see well. Lemnis Lighting luminaires make use of this biological phenomenon, by emitting exactly these wavelengths that help people see better at night. Traditional street lighting does not profit from this sight bonus, requiring more light (and energy!) for a proper vision and perceived safety. The light of a Lumis-LED takes on a greenish hue. In case you're wondering: yes, this light color has proven to be perfectly acceptable, to residents and traffic alike. Tests with camera surveillance show clearly that Lumis-LEDs vastly outperform nearly all other lighting sources in color detail and evenness.

Innolumis, a joint venture by Lemnis Lighting and Imtech

The Lumis-LED is sold by Innolumis BV, a joint venture by Lemnis Lighting and Imtech NV. Imtech has been involved in developing the luminaire housing and is a leading European technical services provider in the fields of electrical engineering, ICT and mechanical engineering.

How it works

The way we see depends on how much light there is. During the day, our eyes are most sensitive to yellow light (sun), while at night this sensitivity shifts towards green/blue light (moon). All Lumis-LED models have been engineered around the exact right green light wavelength, thus reducing the amount of energy needed for proper illumination. Using red LED's, some red light is added to activate color recognition. For the color Moonlight, additional blue LED's further enhance color recognition and light output for use in densely populated areas. The premise for all models remains the same however: Don't waste energy on light colors that don't help us see better at night.
