Public lighting
The right light in the right place at the right time
Proper lighting on and around public roads, grounds and buildings provides comfort and safety for residents, visitors and passersby. Therefore, we provide for the installation, maintenance and replacement of masts, fixtures, cables and control equipment.
From feed in the ground to fixture in the air
Public lighting is essential in the streetscape. We provide complete installation, from placing a feed point in the ground to connecting the fixture to the power cables.
Energy efficient conversion
We are working hard with LED lighting, because by 2028 all public lighting poles in Flanders should be of the energy-efficient LED type. Therefore, it is now all hands-on-deck to get this realized. There are 1,500,000 lighting poles in Flanders.
