Pedestrian Street Renovation Case

Case Analysis of Outdoor Lighting Project for Commercial Pedestrian Street
1. Engineering Background
The commercial pedestrian street spans 1.2 kilometers and offers a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment options, attracting a large number of people. The original lighting system was aging and dim, unable to meet the needs of nighttime business operations, tourist travel, and creating a commercial atmosphere, so the lighting upgrade project was initiated.
2. Design Plan
Light the pedestrian street according to its functional zone planning. Set high-pole lamps at the entrance, with 400W metal halide lamps paired with intelligent dimming. The lamps are fully lit during peak hours to illuminate the arch-style entrance and attract people, and the power is reduced at night to create a comfortable shopping light environment. Use wall lamps and embedded cylindrical lamps in the shopping area, with 20-30W LED lights in warm white light to highlight the window displays and create a comfortable shopping light environment.
3. Colored pendant lamps hang from the dining area, which can switch colors to create a relaxed dining atmosphere. The leisure square is illuminated by 100W floodlights, highlighting sculptures, greenery, and creating a popular photo spot.
Lighting and Construction
Choose high-protection-rating, well-ventilated LED products for the lighting fixtures, with a color rendering index of over 85 to accurately reproduce the true colors. The construction team will work in stages to avoid the peak business hours, dig trenches, bury conduit, and install a smart control system for remote monitoring, timed switching, and brightness adjustment.
4.Difficulties to be Conquered
The first difficulty lies in coordinating merchants. Construction noise and short suspension of business affect operations, so the team communicates in advance and conducts flexible construction to minimize interference. The second difficulty is that the line layout is complex, with dense underground pipelines, so a ground-penetrating radar is used for precise surveying, and the route is redesigned to ensure stable power supply.
5. Effective Assessment
After the project was completed, the pedestrian street was transformed and revitalized. The nighttime foot traffic increased by 30%, leading to an increase in sales. Social media exposure surged, making it a popular spot for tourists to visit. Citizens reported that the lighting was comfortable and made them feel safe, successfully creating a vibrant and fashionable nighttime commercial space that showcased the significant impact of high-quality outdoor lighting engineering on commercial scenarios.
