Award-winning Belgian roadway lighting project powered by new Alfen substation solution

LED lighting delivers a range of benefits to roadway infrastructure, including lower carbon emissions, more efficient light production and safer operating environments. A 20-year public/private partnership in Belgium called the Lumieres 4.0 Plan involved modernizing more than 100,000 lights along the roads of Wallonia with smart LED lighting technology. Traffic management and electrical systems provider Citelum by Luminus Cities supervised the extensive effort and contracted Alfen to manufacture and install multiple substations powering various technologies that are collectively illuminating the roads of Wallonia.
