A ray of hope for
sustainable lighting

A simple change to the park's lighting means citizens now feel safe at night, while the city enjoys considerable savings on energy and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

The electrical grid didn't cover the whole of Leipsoi Island, meaning some areas being plunged into darkness when the sun sets. To make the island safer and more appealing, a total of 28 autonomous Philips SunStay solar luminaires were installed in different communities. The remote island’s playground was also equipped with solar lighting to ensure children can play safely.
