I think they found out that the lamps would ice up and provide worse lighting when turning them off. This was also a problem when switching from the old Halogen/Sodium lights to LED’s so bad infact that some streetlamps needed heaters in them. The heating system is only used where we get the harshest winter weather. Also with the historical low energy prices, installing all the sensors would not make sense economically. Cool concept though. Now adays some municipalities turn them out right off, for a few hours when traffic is low to save money on energy.
We drove a section of road that had this on a recent holiday! I thought it was so cool and added it to the ever growing list of good ideas every other nation should copy but won’t!
The company behind this technology has a list of reference projects on their webpage: [https://comlight.no/prosjekter-og-referanser](https://comlight.no/prosjekter-og-referanser)
I believe it is still in use in the few places where it has been installed, but it has not reached widespread adoption.
This is in use along Tømmerdalsveien in Trondheim.
This is installed on a road right next to a couple I’m friends with, it works well enough, but a bit annoying to live right next to.
So this is what I keep seeing when landing in Oslo! I kept seeing a line of light fly through the forests and was confused about what it could be.
It did not look like a car at all
When we are already on this theme of norwegian roads and dimming.. Anyone ever use the auto-dimmer on newer cars? Recommended? Got myself a new Huyndai Tucson and the logic it uses to dim the highbeams seems rather questionable.
Why are they still looking for ways to save electricity instead of stop giving electricity to Uk and lower the electricity bill here?
I’ve seen it in the pedestrian/bicycle tunnel at Haukeland sykehus in Bergen. But I don’t drive, so I haven’t seen it on the road.
First they should switch on the street lights when its dark and switch it off when its daylight. Then we can move to the next level with something like dimming…the people are not ready for it.
“Its more expensive to install a light sensor than letting the light on the whole summer”..
