Lourmarin smart lighting system

Lourmarin, located in the Vaucluse department, is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France.
Its outstanding geographical situation in the Luberon, its architectural heritage and its many hiking trails make the village one of the most popular tourist destinations in Provence.
 

Setting a sustainable approach 

The local council wanted to upgrade the lighting network to have more autonomy in managing the luminaires and create a fully connected city. As the local authorities are committed to building a sustainable future, it has implementing many initiatives and has been a “pesticide-free municipality” for several years. Therefore, the new lighting infrastructure had to be environmentally responsible: it not only had to reduce the power consumption with LED technology, but also direct the light downwards to reduce light pollution and comply with the French decree of 27^th December 2018.

To meet expectations, Schréder proposed a bronze-coloured VALENTINO GEN2 luminaire to replace the lanterns fitted with with conventional sodium lighting. With a design inspired by the original gas lanterns, the Valentino luminaire allows the municipality to preserve its architectural heritage while benefiting from LED technology. 
 

Controlled environment

In 2019, the council carried out a pilot project with seven of these luminaires fitted with motion detection sensors at the town’s recycling centre. The project was a success and the local authorities decided to install this new system throughout the village. 
Nearly 300 luminaires have been installed throughout the village, delivering a warm white light and respecting the required colour temperature of 2700K, with a power consumption of between 56W and 75W.
