JR Streetlight Illuminate the City of Sweden

JR Streetlight Illuminate the City of Sweden

Challenge

The city of Falun in Sweden wanted to upgrade its street lighting system with LED lights to enhance urban safety and improve its image. They have been looking for a comprehensive solution that not only brightens the city at night, making it safer and reducing traffic accidents and crime but also saves energy and decreases maintenance frequency, contributing to environmental sustainability. This comprehensive solution requires the selection of suitable and high-quality lighting fixtures.

Solution

Due to their understanding of the stability and reliability of our lighting fixtures and the attentiveness of our service, they decided to ultimately upgrade their street lighting system using JR Lighting products.

•       JR Lighting's LED street lights are much more energy-efficient than traditional fixtures, converting more electrical energy into light while consuming less power, resulting in significant energy savings. The light distribution of the street lights should be uniform, avoiding shadows, while ensuring that both sides of the road receive adequate illumination to enhance the safety of drivers and pedestrians.   
•       The light source has strong directionality. We could design the fixture's luminous angle as needed, reducing glare and minimizing light pollution and light loss. This helps avoid disturbance to nearby residents. It can operate stably for a long time in various harsh outdoor environments, featuring waterproof, dustproof, and corrosion-resistant properties, typically achieving an IP65 rating or higher.
•       Our lighting fixtures have stable quality, a long lifespan, and are not easily damaged. They are designed to be impact-resistant and vibration-resistant, making them capable of withstanding harsh outdoor environments. The materials used for the fixtures are typically strong, corrosion-resistant metals to ensure safety and durability. This reduces the frequency of maintenance and replacement, thereby lowering operational costs.
•       Equipped with smart dimming and remote control features, it can automatically adjust brightness based on ambient light or actual conditions such as pedestrian and vehicle flow, achieving energy-saving effects.

Result: More Brilliant, Less Maintenance, Crime Reduction

The city of Falun replaced most of its street lighting system in a year and a half, instantly brightening the entire city at night.

1. More Brilliant

Most residents of the city report that the streets are now brighter, making it easy to see clearly while walking at night, which feels much safer and reduces fear of walking after dark. Drivers find that visibility ahead is much clearer at night, reducing eye strain and significantly decreasing traffic accidents caused by poor visibility. Overall, the city feels more aesthetically pleasing and modernized.

2. Less Maintenance

JR Lighting's LED street lights have a lifespan of up to 100,000 hours and are resistant to impacts and vibrations, making them suitable for outdoor environments and less prone to damage. Installing new street lights reduces the frequency of replacements and maintenance, significantly saving on labor costs.

3. Crime Reduction

Due to the new streetlights being very bright, the number of nighttime crimes has significantly decreased. According to a report from a year after installing the new lights, the number of crimes has dropped by 40%. In areas with high crime rates, incidents have decreased by 50%. Overall, the safety of the city has improved greatly. The local government is very satisfied with the upgrade of the streetlight system.
