They enhance the natural lighting aesthetic while offering high energy efficiency and a long lifespan of up to 60,000 hours. These LED strips align with the sustainability and energy-saving goals of the bicycle parking garage and require minimal maintenance. They can be easily interconnected using the integrated cables on both sides.

Summary

LEDVANCE created a lighting concept for the IJboulevard parking garage in Amsterdam, designed to house 4,000 bicycles. The integrated LED strips blend harmoniously with the architectural design and are part of an innovative light management system. They provide even and flexible controllable lighting throughout the space. With their high energy efficiency and long lifespan, the LED strips contribute to the sustainability goals of the parking garage.
