LimeCam - Mobile light measurement in Waldkirch

Waldkirch now knows how the street lighting is doing.


The street lighting in Waldkirch is to be modernized over the next five years. For this purpose, a situation analysis was prepared by the consulting company IBG Engineering, in cooperation with the Waldkirch Technical Works, in order to identify the need for action and investment. For the detailed inventory of the lighting quality, a mobile light measurement was carried out with LimeCam.

"LimeCam takes into account everything. Even trees and any houses that are awkwardly placed on the road and cast a shadow. It's really a good thing."

Patric Keller, Project Manager IBG Engineering

The area-wide measurement of the 480 light points could be carried out in a single night and has shown where most action is needed and which light points should be refurbished first. Deficits of the current lighting became visible at certain points, which were not recorded in the theoretical assessment. Based on this information, the implementation planning is now being tackled.

"We wanted to know whether the theoretical values really corresponded to practice. With LimeCam, we were able to substantiate that IBG did a good job here."

Christian Tresch, Head of Technical Operations Waldkirch

In Switzerland, more than 10,000 light points have already been measured with LimeCam and the lighting quality evaluated.
