The municipality of Sittard, known for its forward-thinking approach, has taken a significant step towards sustainability and energy efficiency by upgrading the lighting system of its parking garage. The old fluorescent lighting, which had been in use for a long time, was replaced with new LED fixtures, providing numerous benefits for the facility and its users.
A Call for Renovation
The need for renovation became apparent during an inspection conducted by TRILUX, a leading provider of lighting solutions. The existing fixtures were outdated, and their housings had become porous in places, compromising the overall appearance of the ceiling. Moreover, many fixtures had broken light sources, resulting in an inadequate lighting system that posed a risk to the safety of users.

A Comprehensive Refurbishment Solution
TRILUX provided a broad range of refurbishment solutions to address the issues with the existing lighting system. The company refurbished all lighting solutions in the parking garage using energy-efficient, robust, and moisture-proof luminaires. The refurbishment was carried out with the goal of replacing the existing lighting 1:1, mostly with 1,500 Aragon Fit Luminaires.
Improved Visibility and Comfort
The new LED lighting system has had a significant impact on the parking garage. Visitors notice an improvement in lighting quality immediately upon entering the underground parking garage. The LED lighting provides a higher light output, essential for a parking garage without daylight. The luminaires also feature a transparent housing at the top, creating an attractive and evenly lit area via indirect light on the ceiling.
Economical and Sustainable
The renovation has significantly reduced energy costs, with potential savings of over 60%. This is due to the energy-efficient nature of the LED lighting system. The municipality of Sittard deliberately chose not to integrate additional smart features such as sensors, which can be added to the lighting system at a later stage.
A Step into the Future
The modernization of the parking garage’s lighting system is a forward-looking decision that sets a new standard for sustainability and energy efficiency. The new LED technology not only ensures greater safety and comfort but also significantly reduces energy consumption. The parking garage is now brighter, more inviting, and sustainable – while remaining flexible for future smart upgrades.
“The modernization of the lighting system is a significant step towards a more sustainable future. We are committed to providing our citizens with a safe and comfortable environment, while also reducing our energy consumption and environmental impact.” – Mayor of Sittard
