LEDVANCE was commissioned to design and realize a modern lighting solution for a historic Spanish tourist attraction, utilizing LED FLOODLIGHT PERFORMANCE luminaires to significantly lower energy consumption and maintenance costs whilst improving the lighting quality.

The spectacular castle and palace complex of Oropesa from the 12th century is a tourist highlight in the Toledo region. However, the previous lighting of the historic ensemble did not adequately show off the architectural beauty of the complex due to insufficient output, uneven illumination and a color temperature that was too cold. A new lighting concept was therefore needed to comprehensively improve the quality of light, optimize the visual experience for visitors and visually emphasize the historical significance of the castle.

The municipality of Oropesa commissioned LEDVANCE to develop and realize a new lighting concept for the castle complex. Decisive factors in the decision were not only the trust in the LEDVANCE brand, but above all the high quality of advice and service as well as the flexible product solutions that can be adapted precisely to the customer's requirements. 

Accordingly, LEDVANCE carried out a detailed analysis of the architecture and lighting situation and developed a comprehensive lighting solution on this basis. As part of this, a total of 97 FLOODLIGHT PFM SYM LED floodlights with different lumen packages and lighting angles and a warm light color of 3,000 K were installed at precisely defined locations around the facility.

The LED lighting solution significantly increased the lighting quality at the site. The FLOODLIGHT PFM SYM luminaires impress with wattages of 10 W to 290 W that were selected according to the architectural positioning, symmetrical beam angles of 30°, 60° or 100° and homogeneous light distribution and reduced glare thanks to a hardened glass cover. The LED solution offers a particular advantage in terms of energy consumption: FLOODLIGHT luminaires allow savings of up to 90 % compared to conventional floodlights. And thanks to a product guarantee of five years and a rated service life of up to 70,000 hours, future expenditure and costs for maintaining the luminaires are also significantly reduced.

For the municipality of Oropesa, LEDVANCE developed and realized an innovative and efficient lighting concept for the historic castle and palace complex of Oropesa based on a detailed lighting analysis. With a total of 97 FLOODLIGHT PFM SYM LED luminaires, LEDVANCE implemented a lighting solution that not only optimizes lighting quality, significantly reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs, but also improves the visual experience for visitors and thus promotes tourism in the region.
