Teglverksdammen is a urban refurbishment project developed in Ensjøbyen borough, east Oslo. This is a wide green area with pedestrian and cycle paths, designed to give the neighbourhood a safe place to relax and enjoy their spare time. The space is the result of a plan engineered by Oslo Municipality in order to purify the water in Hovin river. With the building of a series of artificial ponds, the stream water has been cleaned by using natural methods just before it flows in Ensjøbyen. AEC Illuminazione, in collaboration with Multilux, official partner in Norway, has been called to provide a new lighting for the park. ILOled has been specified for the LED lighting of the pedestrian and cycle paths and streets open to traffic. 54 LED luminaires with street optic and a colour temperature of 4000K have been installed along streets and wider pedestrian tracks.

Instead 36 LED ILOleds with the same colour temperature and equipped with specific optic have been chosen for all the other pedestrian and cycle paths.
The new lighting has guaranteed the right conditions to enjoy the area surrounded by a populated borough.
Visual comfort, excellent light quality and considerable energy savings are the most appreciable results of a lighting project part of a wider energy efficient plan developed in order to give Oslo back such an important area of the city.

In 2013, Manchester Airport was the third busiest airport in the United Kingdom in terms of passenger numbers and the 21st busiest airport in Europe. The Airport started construction on 28 November 1935 and opened completely on 25 June 1938. Terminal one was refurbished later in the years. After almost 30 years in consistent use, a bold transformation to dramatically improve the customer experience and environmental credentials of the landmark Terminal 1 multi storey car park has been unveiled. AEC, along with Kingfisher Lighting, has been invited to prepare an external lighting scheme for the entire development of the parking lot. Given the design brief and time line involved, the AEC and Kingfisher team presented a design
proposal based on the ILOled utilising a combination of twin and triple mounted lighting points.

The lighting scheme involved a combination of twin and triple mounted ILOled’s with a mounting height of 6m. To achieve the lighting specification of 20 lux average, AEC and the Kingfiher lighting team
designed the ILOled 54 ST series. This specification utilises 54 LEDs with a total rated power of 68w and a lumen output of 4,853 lumens and provides a street lighting distribution.
Compared with a conventional 70w light source this particular version offers energy savings of up to 16%.
AEC, who have had previous projects in airport lighting, guaranteed the best solution for energy savings. ILOled met all the requirements of the customer in terms of design, lighting scheme and safety.

The design and realization of the new grocery store Coop at Maranello (MO) have followed an energy savings and environmental sustainable project. Coop Estense specified the use of LED lighting for the loading areas and the parking lots surrounding the store. Selected by the food company AEC chose ILOled for exterior lighting. The product completely fulfilled all the requirements in terms of energy savings, comfort lighting perception, environmental sustainability and maintenance cost reduction.ILOled contributed to optimizing the light distribution and improving the global uniformity of the average lighting of the parking area and optimizing the average luminaire of the surrounding streets. This resulting scheme allowed a considerable increase of the light perception and comfort thus guaranteeing the same full control of any glaring effect.

Last but not least ILOled perfectly fits with the wooden architecture of the store, featured by a red decorative suspended roof sustained by tie-rods.
With such a project Coop Estense could obtain the Green Light European Certification.
The resulting scheme has been extremely well received and has resulted in a substantial energy saving. AEC is proud to have contributed to the success of this project by providing the company with a brand new lighting.

The Vodafone Village is the new environmentally friendly Italian headquarters of the company: 67,000mq of covered area. The project of the area was developed in order to guarantee:
- high functional reliability and maintenance;
- energy consumption reduction;
- environmental impact reduction;
- comfort workplace;
- maximum integration of the building and the architecture to possible future changes in the functionality of the space;
- LEED compatibility.
As for the lighting of outdoor areas, it was decided to move from a solution with standard equipment to a LED solution, adopting ILOled with 200 mm brackets for street lighting and TABLED for the long arcades of the complex, in addition to high efficiency and high visual comfort.

ILOled was chosen as the lighting for the parking area at the entrance of the offices, while TABLED is the innovative modular system of AEC that was placed in the covered outdoor areas near the entrances to the buildings and between areas of connection. The annual energy consummation of 49,900 kWh (in comparison with the 90,800 kWh with HID luminaires) was reduced of an additional 30% thanks to the use of a conveyed waves dimming system. This dimming option was integrated with the BMS of the building thus allowing a reduction of the luminous flux at minimal levels when the buildings are not occupied. This solution led to a 55,870kWh consumption reduction per year equal to a reduction of 33 CO2 tons (per year). In addition to this, thanks to AEC luminaires, the maintenance costs were further reduced when compared to the traditional HID solutions.

AEC Illuminazione was invited to prepare a scheme for the lighting of a modern pedestrian bridge in Oslo, the capital of Norway and the first city of the country. The bridge is 7 metres long and it represents a key connection point for the city. The bridge is now lit with TABLED, a 9 LED module developed for high efficiency projects where safety represents a crucial issue. Once the installation had been completed, the amount of pedestrian and cyclists increased immensely.
The bridge, completely lit by AEC, connects many residential areas to the city centres. More and more people are using it in order to reach the many meeting points in the city. All the pillars of the bridge are fixed on the rocks with steel columns. TABLED was installed in the railing under the bridge for decorative lighting. The result is an enjoyable and efficient light, a reference point in the long winter nights of this green area of Oslo.

The general extension of shopping hours around the world has contributed to a change in the life style of many people, shopping habits included. Shopping centres have become the privileged place where to spend one’s own free time all along the day especially on weekends. During late hours, leaving these places and approaching the parking areas can make the customer feel uncomfortable and most of all unsafe. This unpleasant sensation can even compromise the shopping experience of the consumer. AEC Illuminazione was approached by The Base Shopping Centre in Hemilton, New Zealand to improve the exterior lighting in the parking area. AEC Illuminazione chose TABLED to provide the Centre with a suitable lighting for the pathways from the exits to the car lots of the Centre. The product comprises a 9 LED module with a unique and minimal design.

Padova has one of the most important and busy Italian railway stations. Thousands of visitors and commuters crowd the many platforms available daily. Approximately 18 million passengers get on and off the trains every year. The square in front of the station is a central hub for the traffic of the area. Local and suburban buses and taxis have their terminus here. In addition to this, the entrance of the station is located at the end of a pedestrian path leading to the city centre. The central square has undertaken an important renovation plan that has involved AEC. ILOled was installed in particular on bent columns, an original but functional choice for the area. Due to the high traffic of the square, safety was considered as top priority.

Each column hosts up to 3 luminaires – a post top ILOled and two staggered ILOled for the lighting of the pavements and the waiting areas to buses and taxis. AEC was also invited to prepare a lighting scheme for the covered area at the entrance of the station. The company proposed a customized solution using wall-mounted TABLED BAR. TABLED BAR is a versatile and functional solution, available with up to 20 led modules in relation to the installation needs. In this project TABLED was used on a wall-mounted box with 3 downward modules equipped with phosphor optics and the 2 upward modules were equipped with spot optic for indirect lighting. With ILOled and TABLED this particular part of the city can now boast efficient, safe and original lighting.

Viale della Repubblica was born as the first avenue of expansion of the city to the seaside, the natural continuation of the ancient Roman
decumanus, connecting with the first bathing built in 1883. It was, and still is, the main urban centre-sea axis. The project is therefore the drive of the municipal administration to restore the roadway to its original splendor, eliminating all architectural barriers created during the time. Another aim of the project was to give a new look at the architectural appearance to the new seafront obtained with the recent restyling of the “Piazza della Libertà” and surrounding areas (2010). This project has been focused on stone pavements elaboration, architectural barriers elimination and the creation of two paths for the partially-sighted, trees regeneration and the new LED lighting system for energy efficiency and road safety.

For amazing work like this, Pesaro municipality has decided to trust the most excellent technological Italian company for public lighting, choosing the AEC ESCAPE system, designed by Federico Gessi. Escape system includes columns and complements for public lighting, freely configurable according to the lighting project. The versatility of the system consists in the realization of customized compositions in different heights and combinations perfectly contextualized in the surrounding space. Pesaro municipality has chosen a customized solution, giving value to this historical avenue of the city centre.

This lovely village is placed in the Ligurian coast. The lighting project was part of the revaluation of the historic town centre. AEC substituted the old lanterns using the Firenze series equipped with TABLED. The new lanterns were mounted on decorative brackets and poles with two to four lanterns. Some 80 Firenze lanterns were installed. TABLED represents a significant example of technological upgrade. Thanks to TABLED it is possible to maintain the aesthetic characteristics of the original product without changing the architectural context in which the product is placed. The Firenze lantern gave a brand new and unique style to the city. With TABLED it was possible to maintain an unaltered classic shape of the luminaire thus guaranteeing remarkable energy savings with a long-lasting and efficient lighting.

AEC provided Arezzo with the new lighting for the historical city centre. The project aimed to give the city back its beauty and to help increase safety in many public areas such as squares with its monuments, main central streets and spaces where people meet and enjoy their free time. In facing the project, AEC took into account many issues: the valorization of the artistic heritage, the safety of pedestrians and vehicles, the reduction of light pollution, the optimization of the maintenance costs and, last but not least, giving the city a more accessible look during the night. AEC provided Arezzo with 245 functional lighting luminaires and 117 historical lighting lanterns. The Municipality took into account the dimensions of the lantern and the light colour output with particular attention to the historical original model.

During the research and development phase, AEC followed the up-mentioned key aspects.
The Arezzo lantern, in particular, recalls the styling of the original version. It has a classical design and some distinctive elements are unaltered in the new luminaire, namely the ashlar style cover, the typical tip and the double arched décor placed in the upper part of the screen.
The Vasari bracket has also been accurately reproduced and improved with a fast-release hook system for improved maintenance.

Piazza San’Agostino is one of the most significant squares in Arezzo city, today it’s highly recognized for the important church and its majestic bell tower. The building was built in XIII century between 1766 and 1776 the architect Filippo Giustini decided to completely restore it. The architects wanted to give the square back to the citizens and make it a more liveable city. The square has been inaugurated in 2011. The public administration of Arezzo decided to create a functional pedestrian area for all the activities such as events and exhibitions that take place every year. AEC Illuminazione has been chosen for the new lighting of the place, offering Revelampe, the luminaire designed for urban lighting. The products represented the perfect solution and convinced the public authorities on both its traditional design and functional performances.

The luminaire allows a correct vision of the surrounding urban ambient without spoiling the architectural elements. Revelampe’s photometric and aesthetic characteristics have been considered suitable for this typical Tuscany place. For this lighting project, AEC has provided the city with 34 luminaires (LR55/LL35 ST VP P2 70W CDO-TT).
We consider it the key strength for those places with a uniform and harmonious style. The product is able to perfectly integrate in those places with important architectural elements and buildings. In fact, Revelampe has been chosen for the public lighting of those cities that need to reach a perfect balance and compromise between the light and the environment.

AEC Illuminazione and its official partner in the UK, Kingfisher Lighting,have been chosen for the lighting development of the famous Barton Turns Marina. The goal was to transform an old cave in a prestigious touristic harbour centred on Waterfront restaurant.
In the year 2000 there was the entrance of the first boat in the Barton Turns Marina canal and starting from that moment, the development of this area has been progressive. The project is finished last year with the opening of the latest commercial activities. The traffic part is concentrated around the Waterfront restaurant as well as other important commercial area close to it. Barton Turns Marina represents the home to some fantastic eateries but also boasts great shopping and fabulous walks around the lakes and woodlands.

After the devastating flood in Florence in 1966, AEC Illuminazione contributed to the reconstruction of the famous Tuscan city. Years after the event local municipalities undertook many reconstruction projects in order to bring the city back to normal. Public lighting was a crucial issue. At the time AEC was chosen for providing the new decorative lighting of Florence. It was a great chance for AEC to start the production of cast iron candelabra for outdoor historical lighting. The Firenze lantern is the synthesis of a detailed research in modern industrial technologies, applied to the art of master craftsmen. The luminaires still light up the city nights in its central streets and along the river Arno.

Elegance and style mix together in the Milan candelabrum making it a unique luminaire of an undisputed prestige. The product is appreciated for its refined lines and incredible sophistication. These are the things that made it suitable for the lighting of one of the most important squares in Italy. Piazza del Duomo is the central square of Milan and along with its surrounding streets have represented the geographical and commercial centre of the city since more than seven centuries. Today the square and its surroundings are the dynamic centre of the Italian city, the meeting point for Milanese and people coming from all over the world. The candelabrum is part of the outdoor historical fixtures range produced by AEC. The luminaire with the cast iron column is the result of attentive research on the most updated technologies applied to classical decorative products.
