Safety, Beauty and Reduced Energy
The city of Parma in Northern Italy recently installed THE EDGE area luminaires within the nine-acre Parma Park. The park features a children’s play area, bike track, dog zone, and walking trail. The main goals of the project included not only providing a secure environment for visitors but also taking an environmental stance to reduce energy consumed by lighting fixtures throughout the park.
Although original lighting plan called for HID fixtures, after learning how THE EDGE provides superior uniformity, excellent colour and brightness, plus 55 percent in energy savings, the city chose BetaLED luminaires. THE EDGE fixtures blend seamlessly into the ambiance of the park and help to highlight the natural beauty of the surrounding area.
