Decorative LED Lighting for Business Park in Kitwe The ECL Business Park in Kitwe, Zambia, is the city’s newest office and business park. It is a mixed-use development comprising a shopping centre, hotel, convention centre and an office block. BEKA Schréder is proud to have supplied various decorative LED lighting solutions to this prestigious project. T he advantages of LED technology are many, among them reduced energy consumption, leading to significant savings when compared to traditional light sources, and low maintenance requirements, leading to a fast return of investment. ZELA post top luminaires have been installed in the parking area of the hotel, emitting a pleasant, glare-free light by night, and lending an elegant look to the area by day. BEKA LEDpost bollards illuminate the walkways. Their distinct design suits the setting perfectly. Furthermore, no spill light is emitted in an upward direction, ensuring that there is no light pollution. The main entrance to the hotel is illu- minated by the ILUMup, a versatile in- ground uplight. The ILUMup offers a wide range of photometric distributions for all types of illumination, such as light- ing façades, highlighting architectural details and uplighting trees. The façades of the buildings are accentuated by BEKA LEDduo up- and downlighters. They are robustly constructed, weather proof, hail proof, and corrosion proof, ensuring a long lifetime. Furthermore, LEDflood high-efficient LED floodlights are installed in the outdoor parking area of the shopping centre, creating a safe and welcoming experience for the visitors. CITEA LED decorative streetlights are installed at the shopping centre entrance. The spiral driveway to the covered parking area is illuminated by the BEKA SERIES 31 LED bulkhead. BEKA Schréder locally develops and manufactures LED lighting products, designed and suitable for local conditions.
