Brussels renews more than 2,500 light points and saves energy in the process

Brussels Mobility is upgrading public lighting along regional roads, replacing 2,500 light points with energy-efficient LED lights to reduce energy consumption by over 50%. Key traffic routes like Gentsesteenweg and Franklin Rooseveltlaan have already received new fixtures. By the end of 2026, all upgrades should be complete. A test project near Ter Kamerenbos is evaluating monochromatic amber lighting to minimize disruption to nocturnal wildlife. The initiative aims to enhance visibility and safety for pedestrians and cyclists, with specific improvements on Teichmann Bridge and other public spaces. The transition to LED is expected to save over €300,000 annually, totaling more than €4.5 million over 15 years.
