Thor: Road Lighting Solution for Copenhagen
The Thor lantern from Thorn offers Scandinavian design and ideal lighting performance for the application.
In the Danish capital Copenhagen half of the lighting points have been exchanged with energy efficient LED luminaires. The Thor lantern from Thorn offers Scandinavian design and ideal lighting performance for the application. Connected via a wireless lighting control management system, future proof lighting control management can be realized, which is an important aspect for the Smart City.
The City of Copenhagen, Denmark, is one of the world’s smartest and most sustainable cities. A key requirement for achieving Copenhagen’s carbon neutral target is a substantial reduction of the energy consumption from the street lighting. To meet this target the almost 20 000 street lanterns with mainly high-pressure sodium lamps needed replacing.
The renewal project, which includes intelligent lighting controls too, is managed by Citelum, who won the contract in 2013 when the City of Copenhagen tendered it out. Thorn delivered the customized road lantern Thor for this project. The Thor luminaire meets the specific project requirements, including the mounting options of either catenary or post-top.
