Landscape Lighting Renovation and Upgrade Completed on a Section of West Wen'er Road, Yuhang District, Hangzhou

As night falls and city lights come on, urban nightscapes offer gentle company for countless people on their way home. Recently, the landscape lighting renovation and upgrading project for the section of West Wen’er Road (Gaojiao Road - Tianzhugang Bridge) in Yuhang District, Hangzhou, has been fully completed. With moderate and well-balanced lighting, the upgraded lights warm up the night sky and bring comfort to residents.

From Dim to Bright: Upgrading Livelihood-oriented Urban Lighting

The original landscape lamps along this road suffered from aging facilities, overloaded circuits and insufficient brightness, which hindered nighttime travel and weakened the overall roadside landscape effect.

At the start of the new year, the Municipal Greening Center of Yuhang District Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau (Urban Management Bureau) launched the overall renovation and upgrading of landscape lights on this section, and the project was finished on schedule. Before construction, staff conducted a comprehensive inspection with professional equipment, recording the condition of each lamp, circuit aging degree, lighting brightness and other data item by item. They also observed pedestrian and vehicle flow on-site to accurately clarify renovation requirements.

After thorough field investigation, combined with landscape aesthetics and functional lighting demands, new petal-shaped dimmable landscape lamps were finally selected. Featuring an elegant design and wider illumination coverage, the new lights support adjustable brightness as needed, greatly improving both the roadside landscape and practical lighting performance.

From Bright to Mild: Creating Moderate and Comfortable Lighting

After the new lights were put into operation, new public demands emerged. Residents living on lower floors of nearby communities gradually reported that excessive brightness disturbed their daily life.

Faced with the conflicting needs - safe and bright travel for road users versus a quiet, comfortable living environment for nearby residents, the local authority refused to adopt a simplistic one-size-fits-all solution. Through further on-site research and continuous observation of lighting angles and brightness changes at different time periods, a targeted optimization plan of zoned classification and precise adjustment was formulated.

All landscape lamps close to residential buildings were adjusted to soft warm yellow light with properly reduced brightness, avoiding direct light shining into household windows. Meanwhile, sufficient lighting was maintained in areas with heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic to ensure travel safety. To guarantee the optimal effect, technicians conducted multiple on-site debugging sessions at night, fine-tuning lighting angles and brightness step by step, which properly resolved residents’ concerns.
