Stuttgart's new luminaire | Pleasant light at half the price

Due to the impact of its lighting master plan, Stuttgart's city centre is increasingly being seen in a "good light". The planners who designed the concept attached great importance to aesthetics and the utilisation of technical advances for the controlled and energy-saving use of light.

A prime example is Stuttgart's new cylindrical luminaire, a fixture designed specifically by Hess AG for the state capital.

Analysis had revealed that the existing lighting fixtures - globe-shaped luminaires designed specifically for the state capital in the seventies - had long failed to meet these modern demands.

Hess AG, a specialist for outdoor lighting products, had already addressed the subject of renewal and replacement with a new range of luminaires that met the principal aesthetic and performance specifications of the lighting designers while offering yet another attractive advantage. The luminaires mount on the already existing poles via an adapter, eliminating the need for pole conversion and wiring and thereby providing the City with added savings.

Thanks to the use of 35-watt metal halide lamps instead of the 50- and 80-watt high-pressure mercury vapour lamps installed in the old globe-shaped fixtures, the new luminaires cut electricity use by 45%.
