It's about creating a better balance between people, urban life and ecosystems.
At Stigsborg in Nørresundby, modern urban development, fjord landscape and biodiversity meet. Here, the lighting is designed as an integrated part of the area, where safety, aesthetics and consideration for nature go hand in hand. With two-color LED technology, warm amber light and intelligent sensor control, the lighting adapts to the activity on the path and at the same time reduces the impact on the fjord's wildlife.
Syrestien is an example of how outdoor lighting can be developed with greater precision and responsibility. In close collaboration with Aalborg Municipality, SLA Arkitekter and Citylight Danmark, LITE has helped create a solution where light is only used when and where it is needed.
The project is based on extensive preliminary analysis and design work, where lighting conditions, the natural environment, movement patterns and biodiversity along the fjord have been investigated. On this basis, a solution has been chosen that combines low energy consumption with high functionality and a more gentle lighting environment.
In standby mode, the luminaires emit a warm amber light of 2200K and only 8W. When a cyclist or pedestrian approaches, full lighting of 3000K and 22W is activated, maintaining orientation, visibility and safety. Compared to conventional 30W lighting, the solution provides energy savings of 59.3%.
Adaptive lighting that respects the surroundings
The project is based on the principle that outdoor lighting should be targeted, needs-driven and as gentle as possible. The intelligent sensor control ensures that the lighting is automatically dimmed when the path is not in use and softly increased when activity is detected. This creates a safe experience for pedestrians and cyclists without over-illuminating the area.
The amber-colored rest light contains significantly less blue light than traditional white LED lighting and is therefore gentler on nocturnal animals and insects. For LITE, the project shows how modern path lighting can combine technical performance, aesthetics and biodiversity considerations in one overall solution — with respect for both people, landscape and nature.
