Public lighting from a single source
From legally compliant planning and refurbishment through to ongoing operation: BKW delivers lighting solutions for public spaces reliably and in line with requirements. In doing so, we combine grid expertise with lighting know-how – whether with grid-connected LED luminaires or stand-alone solar luminaires.
Legally compliant from the outsetLighting for public spaces is a high-voltage installation and therefore much more than a lighting installation. BKW brings both: grid expertise and lighting know-how.From renovation to operationWhether converting to LED, expanding or installing a new system: BKW takes care of planning, implementation and the ongoing operation of your system.Grid-connected or self-sufficientDepending on the location and project, BKW recommends the right technology: grid-connected LED lights or self-sufficient solar lights with no cable trenching.
Frequently asked questions before the project starts
Why lighting projects take longer than planned
The lighting of public spaces is a high-voltage installation subject to statutory inspection and documentation obligations. Anyone who does not know the responsibilities loses time.
Typical stumbling blocks in practice:
  • Unclear responsibility for ESTI inspections and documentation
  • Civil engineering costs for new supply lines underestimated
  • No overview of system condition and outstanding defects
  • Fault reports come to nothing without a clear process
We advise you on grid-connected and stand-alone solutions, clarify the technical requirements and support you throughout the entire process. For municipalities, we recommend the OeB Masterplan for long-term planning of the need for action in lighting public spaces over 5 to 10 years.Request a consultation
