Yongin Special City Completes Installation of 'Smart LED Landscape Lighting' on Giheung Lake Park Walking Trail

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Yongin Special City announced on the 9th that it has completed the 'Smart LED Landscape Lighting Installation Project' on the walking trail of Giheung Lake Park, a citizens' recreational space.

Giheung Lake Park, one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Yongin, is a popular destination for many citizens, attracting visitors with its nighttime lighting installed along the loop trail and walking paths.

The city implemented the LED landscape lighting installation project to create a safe pedestrian environment for citizens who visit the walking trail at night and to prevent accidents. The smart landscape lighting installation target section is a 260m span between the 1st and 2nd pedestrian bridges on the Giheung Lake Park walking trail.

The installed smart LED bollard lights combine lighting functions with cutting-edge ICT technology.

The lighting fixture is equipped with a microwave detection sensor that automatically switches the lighting brightness to 100% when pedestrians approach within 3 meters of the walking trail. The fixture maintains maximum brightness while pedestrians remain within the detection range, and reduces brightness to minimum when pedestrians leave the detection area, thereby reducing nighttime power consumption.

Conducted as part of Yongin's strategy to develop Giheung Lake Park into a premium destination, this project also achieved cost savings with support from the Public Procurement Service.

The total project cost amounts to 74.96 million won. Last year, the city was selected by the Public Procurement Service as a 'Pilot Institution for Innovative Products (LED Landscape Lighting Fixtures)' and received support for innovative products valued at over 39.2 million won (50 LED landscape lighting fixtures), accounting for more than half of the project budget, while bearing only 35.76 million won in electrical construction costs.
