Creating a more pleasant, 
livable space 
both for residents and wildlife

The UrbanStar luminaires at the beach entrances are equipped with LumiMotion control, which detects the movement of people and larger animals – triggering an increase in light intensity – while disregarding the motion of smaller animals and birds. By using this light-on-demand solution, Ameland protects its nature by minimizing light disturbance during the night, and also achieves higher energy savings.
 

All luminaires on the island are connected to Interact lighting management software, which allows the municipality to manage, monitor and measure their light remotely.
 

Ameland residents have expressed delight at the new lighting solution. The reduced light pollution enables them to see more stars at night. At the same time the new lighting offers a sense of visibility and comfort. The residents also welcome the municipality’s sustainability efforts.
