Underground car park, Cologne
The end of expensive continuous lighting
Outdated lighting systems and light that is switched on around the clock –such obvious waste of energy is not an isolated case. With amodern intelligent lighting solution from STEINEL and a clever control system,can, as here in a Cologne underground car park, drastically reduce energy and operating costs. To avoid relying on gut feeling when planning, measuring light and usage conditions beforehandwith the PROLog measuring device provides clear facts about the possible savings potential.
- Location: Cologne, Germany
- Building status: completed in 1982, renovated in 2020
- 139 car parking spaces in 4 parking sections
- Product installed: RS PRO Connect 5100 LED
- Planning aid: PROLog from STEINEL
- Result: 94.4% reduction in total operating costs
- Amortisation in under 2 years
More comfort and safety at lower operating costs
Compared to the old lighting, all areas are now 30% brighter. This makes spending time in the car park more pleasant and enhances users' sense of security. At the same time, manoeuvring in the traffic area is also safer.

"In addition to the easy installation, we were absolutely convinced by the outstanding technical possibilities for setting and adjusting the RS PRO Connect 5100 LED. This allows us to optimally adapt the lighting control to the respective situation on site and to exploit the energy-saving potential in the best possible way."
Carsten Busche, Busche Elektroanlagen eK, Cologne
Reducing total operating costs by 94.4 per cent
CO2 savings per year
Investment will pay for itself in under two years. Thanks to over 31 MWh of energy saved per year

Low operating costs, brighter light
The outdated lighting in the underground car park has now been replaced by RS PRO Connect 5100 LED sensor-switched diffuser luminaires. A control system that is tailored to the local conditions ensures that light is only ever switched on where users are present and light is needed. Individually adjustable time intervals ensure that the light dims to a lower level when it detects that the area is no longer being used. The light switches off completely when no one is in the area for a longer period of time. This lighting solution can reduce total operating costs by 94.4%.
More comfort, lower costs.
The light accompanies the user on their way
The neighbour function allows luminaires in adjacent areas to be activated. This means that the light is always switched on exactly where the user is currently located and will be shortly.
