Case Study: Street Lighting Renovation of Jinan Workers' New Village
Against the backdrop of urban renewal and public space quality improvement, lighting system renovation in old residential areas has become a key focus of municipal engineering projects across China. Jinan Workers' New Village, a typical aging residential community, has undergone a street lighting upgrade that not only achieved functional enhancement but also set a successful practice worth in-depth analysis in the urban lighting sector. This case study focuses on the application of landscape street lights and explores how a professional lighting manufacturer with its own lighting factory can deliver systematic lighting solutions for public spaces.
Project Background: Lighting Pain Points in an Aging Community
Jinan Workers' New Village was built between the 1950s and 1980s and is one of the largest old residential areas in Jinan. Before the renovation, the street lighting in this area faced multiple challenges:
Severely aged luminaires with insufficient illuminance, posing safety risks
Rusted and tilted poles, degrading community aesthetics
High energy consumption and maintenance costs
Lack of unified landscape coordination
In response, the Tianqiao District Municipal Department initiated a comprehensive street lighting renovation project for Workers' New Village.
Solution: A Professional Lighting Manufacturer
Following an open bidding and comprehensive evaluation process, Jinan Sanxing Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. was selected as the core supplier of street lighting products for this project. As a professional lighting manufacturer with nearly two decades of experience in the lighting industry, the company is registered at No. 8111, Erhuan North Road, Tianqiao District, Jinan — the same administrative district as Workers' New Village — offering significant geographical advantages for service delivery.
1. Product Selection: Integrating landscape street lights with Functional Lighting
Considering the community scale and architectural character of Workers' New Village, Sanxing Lighting provided customized landscape street lights. This series meets road lighting standards (average illuminance, uniformity, glare control) while emphasizing visual harmony with the community environment:
Pole Design: Simple and modern, with hot-dip galvanizing + electrostatic spraying for high weather resistance
Optical Distribution: LED modules with professional optical lenses for precise light control and reduced light pollution
Color Temperature: 3000K warm white light, creating a safe and inviting nighttime atmosphere
Ingress Protection: IP65 or higher, suitable for Jinan's four distinct seasons
These landscape street lights not only illuminate residents' way home but also become an integral part of the community's nighttime landscape.
2. Manufacturing Capability: End-to-End Support from lighting factory to Project
As a lighting manufacturer with comprehensive production capabilities, Sanxing Lighting operates its own lighting factory system. Located in Tianqiao District, Jinan, this lighting factory possesses the following core competencies:
Pole Production: CNC bending, automatic welding, and hot-dip galvanizing production lines
Luminaire Assembly: LED module packaging, driver assembly, and aging test lines
Quality Control: Equipped with goniophotometers, temperature chambers, and salt spray corrosion test chambers
Production Capacity: Tens of thousands of street light poles and luminaires annually
In the Workers' New Village project, the lighting factory demonstrated exceptional responsiveness. From drawing approval to first product delivery, the lead time was only 18 days — significantly shorter than the industry average of 30 days. This efficient coordination from lighting factory to construction site is a core competitive advantage of a professional lighting manufacturer.
3. Project Implementation & Results
The project involved the renovation and installation of approximately 300 street light poles, covering main roads and alleyways in both the South and North Village sections of Workers' New Village. Key outcomes include:
Illuminance Improvement: Average illuminance increased from 8 Lux (pre-renovation) to over 25 Lux
Energy Reduction: LED luminaires achieve approximately 65% energy savings compared to original high-pressure sodium lamps
Resident Satisfaction: A community survey showed that nighttime travel safety perception increased to 92%
Maintenance Cost: With a designed lifespan of 50,000 hours, no light source replacement is expected within five years
Sanxing Lighting: A Lighting Manufacturer Worth Knowing
Through the Workers' New Village project, we can better understand the comprehensive strength of this lighting manufacturer. Founded in 2004, Jinan Sanxing Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. (Sanxing Lighting) is recognized as a National "Little Giant" Specialized and Sophisticated Enterprise and a Shandong Province Gazelle Enterprise. Its lighting factory product portfolio covers road lighting, landscape lighting, smart lighting, and custom lighting solutions.
As a professional lighting manufacturer, Sanxing Lighting's landscape street lights have been deployed in numerous national-level projects, including the Beijing Winter Olympics, Hangzhou Asian Games, and Qingdao SCO Summit. The company also won the bid for the smart street lighting project at Peking University's New Campus (¥2.94 million) and serves as a direct procurement supplier of patented lighting poles for China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group.
