In Mannheim, urban lighting has been redesigned to reinforce the city’s architectural identity while enhancing user comfort. On the Planken shopping street, sleek cylindrical luminaires have been installed, providing a soft, even light that highlights the materials and volumes of the city center.
Designed to blend unobtrusively into the urban landscape, these lights provide optimum visibility without dazzling, guiding pedestrians and creating a welcoming atmosphere after dark. Their LED technology ensures low energy consumption, contributing to the city’s sustainability objectives.
By rethinking its street lighting, Mannheim is affirming its desire to reconcile aesthetics, functionality and environmental responsibility, offering its residents and visitors a pleasant and safe night-time environment.
