Lighthouse Wester-Schouwen

Burg-Haamstede, The Netherlands
Winter 2024

MANDATE

The need to renovate the old fashion light bulb into LED.

Build in 1837 the Wester-Schouwen Lighthouse is the highest lighthouse in the Netherlands with 58 Meter above sea level.

The lighthouse is one of Europe’s brightest lighthouses at night with a range of 30NM or 5.200.000 Candela.

“ECLIPSE” LIGHT - DESIGNED FOR WIND FARMS

BLUE HILLS WIND ENERGY PROJECT, MORSE, SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA
WINTER 2022

MANDATE

As the need for developing new sources of clean energy increases, wind turbines are reaching taller heights and must be marked to warn approaching aircraft.

On the Blue Hills Wind Farm, we partnered with our customer Borea Construction to install mid-level tower lights called Eclipse to compliment the nacelle level red beacons that are traditionally installed on smaller turbines.

THE SOLUTION

IMPACTS

OFFSHORE WIND FARM PROJECT HOLLANDSE KUST ZUID (HKZ) 1-4, VATTENFALL

DUTCH COAST, NORTH SEA
SUMMER 2021

MANDATE

Provide advanced aids to navigation and monitoring features for what will be the largest offshore wind farm off the Dutch coast in the North Sea, at the time of completion.

THE SOLUTION

IMPACTS

  • First subsidy-free offshore wind farm, located off the Dutch coast.
  • 100 temporary aids to navigation systems produced for the wind farm.
  • Electricity production equal to consumption of over 2 million Dutch households.

ADLS LIGHT MANAGER FOR WIND FARM

CROWN RIDGE WIND FARM, USA
SUMMER 2020

MANDATE

To install, as part of a radar lighting impact mitigation project, an ADLS (Radar) Light Manager that provides for bidirectional communication between the beacons and the control centre.

THE SOLUTION

IMPACTS

This solution is one of the components of a system aimed at mitigating the nuisance caused by obstruction lighting. It offers the local community a considerably less luminous environment and reduces light pollution, while keeping the sky safe for pilots. Technostrobe fully met the requirements set out in the mandate of the South Dakota authorities.

NATIONAL RELAMPING PROJECT - BELL CANADA

CANADA
SUMMER 2020

MANDATE

Provide a turnkey service to Bell to replace incandescent beacons with LED technology on more than 100 of the company’s towers. The project included both the equipment and the services of technicians to perform the installation work in four (4) Canadian provinces.

THE SOLUTION

IMPACTS

The modernization of obstruction lighting systems has helped to ensure the safety of the aviation community and allowed Bell to benefit from substantial energy savings thanks to new LED technologies.

SAMUEL DE CHAMPLAIN BRIDGE

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA.
SPRING 2019

MANDATE

Provide the new Samuel De Champlain bridge with obstruction lighting and navaids

THE SOLUTION

IMPACTS

This remotely monitored solution provides the necessary light intensity to protect the tallest bridges in the world.

Controlled remotely, this lighting solution offers the intensity necessary to warn pilots of the presence of an obstacle to avoid and to offer captains on the St. Lawrence Seaway the route to follow in order to navigate safely under the bridge.

LIDS SYSTEM - MONT SAINTE-MARGUERITE WIND FARM

QUEBEC, CANADA
FALL 2018

MANDATE

Equip the Mont Sainte-Marguerite wind farm located in Quebec, while minimizing the impact of the lights.

Provide the Mont Sainte-Marguerite wind farm (Quebec, Canada) with the proper obstruction lighting solution in accordance with Transport Canada rules, while minimizing the impact of light beacons on surrounding communities.

The solution had to respond to concerns expressed by the community based on the fact that the region has an astronomical observatory, is populated by dense maple groves that host seasonal educational and festive activities, and benefits many outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world throughout the year.

THE SOLUTION

IMPACTS

The deployment of this technology, designed by Technostrobe, helps mitigate light pollution and therefore facilitates community acceptance while ensuring the safety of pilots and travelers. Technostrobe fully met the requirements set out in the mandate.

Indeed, the very principle of the LIDSTM solution is to automatically adapt the light intensity to the surrounding visibility, thus offering the local community a considerably less luminous environment and reducing light pollution, while keeping the sky safe for pilots.
