Hamburg Central Station is the most important hub of rail transport in northern Germany. The station building was built from 1903 to 1906 according to designs by the architects Heinrich Reinhardt and Georg Süßenguth. The associated pre-space lighting was no longer operational or no longer available due to material wear. Here, originally technically outdated 80 watt mercury steam lamps were installed, which were also very cost-intensive with 110 watts of power consumption.

The pre-Platz lighting should be completely renewed, whereby the luminaire bodies should optically replace exactly according to the predecessor. The built-in LED lighting technology should have special light optics and have a light output of a maximum of 20 watts per light.

Our solution consisted of a replica of the original „Hamburg station lamp“ with high-performance LEDs inside the lamp, for which special heat sinks were designed and manufactured.
Length and diameter of the lamp remained unchanged.

The energy consumption could be reduced to 20 watts (LED ingress kit) per lamp of 62 watts in total (HQL lamp). This corresponds to a saving of approx. 65 percent, which is clearly noticeable in the electricity bill.
