Applications
Road, Tunnel and Transportation Lighting
Motorways, city streets, bridges, residential roads, tunnels and transport terminals... these are only a few of the aspects of daily life where exterior lighting plays its inseparable part.
Join us as we study some examples and see how lighting keeps things on the move.
Vieux Port Tunnel, Marseille, Italy
Thorn wins Marseille tunnel contract
There’s a new look to the Vieux Port Tunnel in Marseille coming along soon, and it’s all down to new lighting. The Infrastructure Branch of the Marseille Provence Métropole (MPM) has awarded Thorn the contract to refurbish the 600m long immersed tunnel with 759 high output Gotthard fluorescent luminaires – in wattage ratings of 55W, single and twin. The majority are dimmable.

Dongba Road - R2000 LED
Road lighting will be under increasing legislative and moral pressure to reconcile its responsibility to sustainability and climate change. The reduction of sky glow, light trespass, light wastage and the adverse effects of artificial light on wildlife are all under scrutiny.

Eagle's Nest Tunnel
Eagle's Nest Tunnel, 2.1km total length, is a tunnel has been opened since March 2008 between Cheung Sha Wan and Sha Tin Valley through Eagle's Nest in Hong Kong in anticipation of future traffic demands generated by development in the northeast New Territories.

Hung Hom Cross Harbour Tunnel
Hung Hom Cross Harbour Tunnel, comprises1.8 km-long tunnel crossing opened in 1972, providing the first road link between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island; Cross-harbour vehicular traffic depended on ferries before the tunnel was built.

Choi Wan Road and Jordan Valley
Thorn was involved to provide a energy efficient and vandalproof lighting solution for this pedestrian footbridge project. We chose the U.K. made Designplan luminaire model Tuscan 2x28W T5 which has the dust and water ingress protected functionalities, and complete with photocell control system for power switching on-off at dawn and dusk.

Kwai Fuk Road Roundabout Subway
The pedestrian subway system at Kwai Fuk Road roundabout has two legs connecting the northern section of Kwai Fuk Road to Container Port Road. Pedestrians from other directions of the roundabout must gain access through the at-grade crossings, which span two traffic lanes, to the public-transport interchange nearby.

A pilot project in Bregenz
As part of a wider plan to show that Bregenz is environmentally aware, Mayor DI Markus Linhart has announced that the Austrian city will be testing Thorn LED streetlights on a small number of its pedestrian crossings. Seven Dyana LED lanterns were chosen after months of testing different manufacturers’ products.
