TRILUX partnership Delivers Intelligent and Sustainable Lighting for Centraal and
Musis Parking Garages

UK, March 2025 – The municipality of Arnhem has embraced a smarter, more sustainable
future with the modernisation of lighting at its Centraal and Musis parking garages. Working
in partnership with ITN, TRILUX provided a cutting-edge, wireless lighting solution that
enhances energy efficiency and supports circular economy principles by recycling old
luminaires into raw materials for new fixtures.

With a strong emphasis on quality, longevity, and sustainability, TRILUX's solution went beyond
conventional lighting upgrades. Integrated smart controls, sensor-based dimming, and wireless
communication optimise energy consumption while reducing CO₂ emissions. The project also
features a fully circular recycling process, setting a new benchmark for municipal lighting schemes.

A Smart, Wireless Lighting Network
A key requirement of the project was the implementation of an intelligent lighting system that
adapts dynamically to usage patterns. TRILUX equipped the parking garages with MyMesh-
enabled luminaires, creating a fully networked, sensor-driven environment without the need for
additional DALI control lines.
"The luminaires operate at an energy-saving base level, automatically adjusting brightness based
on real-time occupancy data," explains Martijn den Besten, Business Development Manager at

TRILUX. "If no movement is detected, the lighting dims further, and as soon as activity resumes,
the system instantly returns to the required illumination level. This maximises energy efficiency
while ensuring safety and comfort for users."
All luminaires are seamlessly connected to the LiveLink Premium light management system,
allowing the municipality to remotely monitor, adjust, and optimise settings for different parking
levels. The result is a high-performance lighting infrastructure that is cost-effective, long-lasting,
and environmentally responsible.

Closing the Loop: A Fully Circular Lighting Approach

The Arnhem project also demonstrates TRILUX's commitment to circularity. Instead of disposing of
old luminaires, TRILUX and ITN established a closed-loop recycling system to recover and
repurpose materials.

"ITN collected and transported the decommissioned luminaires to the Recycle Service Center in
Amsterdam, where they were fully dismantled," explains Raymond van Dijken, Sales Manager at
TRILUX Benelux. "Optics, housings, clamps, ballasts, electronics, and lamp sockets were
separated and processed for reuse. The housings and optics were recycled into high-quality
granulate, which is now being used as raw material in our Zaragoza factory to manufacture new
waterproof luminaires."

By integrating smart controls and circular economy principles, the Arnhem municipality is reducing
its environmental footprint and setting a precedent for sustainable public lighting projects.
With long-term efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability at the heart of this initiative, TRILUX
continues to drive innovation in smart, responsible lighting solutions—helping cities transition
towards smarter, more sustainable urban environments. For further information about TRILUX’s
