The cabildo (council) of Gran Canaria has upgraded the lighting system of the island’s most important highway, known as GC-1, to achieve significant energy savings and improve user safety.

“We have developed a clear and sustainable project for our lighting system. It’s a major revolution in energy efficiency and cost savings.”
- Antonio Morales, President of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria
Customer challenge
The original lighting system for the GC-1 highway, which carries more than 135,000 vehicles per day, involved complex maintenance tasks and high costs. Luminaire substitutions, maintenance, or replacements would force the closure of one lane of the highway, so these were only done every four years to avoid major disruption. In addition, the lighting had to comply with requirements and recommendations from the Instituto Astrofísico de Canarias around environmental issues such as light pollution.
Solution
The installation of Philips DigiStreet Large LED luminaires, with an output of 32,000 lumens and standardized Zhaga connectors, along with the Interact lighting asset management system, gives highway operators ultimate control. The system allows for simple maintenance and point-by-point management to comply with the island’s environmental regulations.
