12,000 Streetlights in Belgium Dimmed, Revealing Significant Annual Savings of €110,000

Gent, Belgium, has successfully dimmed 12,000 LED streetlights at night, achieving a 30% reduction in energy usage and saving the city approximately €110,000 annually without compromising public safety. Pilot projects in specific neighborhoods showed minimal impact on residents’ sense of security, challenging the belief that brighter lighting is inherently safer. This initiative, part of Gent’s broader sustainability goals, lays the groundwork for an interactive LED lighting system planned for full implementation by 2030. As Gent sets a precedent in energy-efficient urban infrastructure, other Belgian cities may consider adopting similar dimming strategies to balance energy savings with community safety.
