A Piece of the Future on Every Pole
Smart Lighting in Public Spaces –
Celle Shows the Way
The city of Celle has completely upgraded its street lighting to energy-efficient LED technology – a project that sets a powerful example. The benefits are clear for all:
- Citizens enjoy improved lighting quality
- Municipal budgets see dramatic cost savings
- The environment gains through climate and species protection
2.5 Million kWh
Saved per Year.
Celle’s Leap into a New Era of Lighting
Celle has fully converted its street lighting to LED – a whole year ahead of schedule. Around 10,000 luminaires were upgraded, now delivering efficient and climate-friendly illumination across the city.
The impact speaks for itself:
-
2.5 million kWh less electricity consumed annually
-
1,057 tonnes less CO₂ emissions per year
-
Significantly lower maintenance costs
This project is a prime example of how sustainable urban development and economic efficiency can go hand in hand –
a true flagship initiative for the municipal energy transition!

Celle’s Winning Results
Celle cuts energy costs by around 80% with its switch to LED – and also saves on maintenance and servicing.
A key benefit:
The SITECO system is built for 100,000+ operating hours, eliminating the need for frequent maintenance and lift operations.
The ability to adjust the lighting at any time to meet changing needs is a major advantage for the city of Celle. Luminaires equipped with iQ technology offer real future-proofing.
Celle mainly uses the following features:
-
SITECO iQ Night-Set
-
SITECO iQ Lumen-Switch
LED luminaires attract significantly fewer insects – especially when combined with extra-warm, insect-friendly light colors. What’s more, our lighting technology ensures that light is directed only downward onto the useful area. This helps prevent unnecessary skyward emissions – because reducing light pollution is becoming an increasingly important topic for municipalities.
Celle is sending a strong signal for local climate action and sustainable urban development: With its new lighting system, the city significantly reduces CO₂ emissions and energy consumption every year.
