Mandel bike path
Sustainable lighting powered by solar panels reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions
The Mandel path runs along the Mandel River in Roeselare. In the middle of nature, this path is very popular with residents who regularly use it for a relaxing stroll or to walk or cycle to the local leisure centre.
As the lighting on the path was deteriorating, the city of Roeselare and the Province of West Flanders decided to replace it. In addition, as it had been installed quite a few years ago, the lighting was consuming a lot of energy and emitting high CO2 emissions.
The local authorities wanted a much more energy-efficient LED lighting system, powered by solar energy.
They decided to install luminaires with the national 005 certification and a detection system to only light the path when necessary to ensure the safety of the people using it.
They opted for the TECEO S fitted with 16 LEDs (14W). A total of 23 luminaires were installed with the Schréder EXEDRA management system and motion detectors.
