Success Stories

LuminoKrom® has been successfully implemented in various locations around the world.

“The objective has been attained with high quality results. We have had very positive feedback from users, cycling groups and the Environmental Protection Department. We will definitely apply this marking in future projects.”
M. Clef

Infrastructure Department, Saint-Paul de la Réunion City Hall

“Some people refused to use this bike path and local residents demanded the installation of street lighting, but it was too expensive! To light this path, we would have had to dig trenches, disturb tree roots and install low light poles. Pessac was also the first town of more than 50,000 inhabitants in France to have tested switching off public lighting at night.”
Eric Martin

Deputy Mayor of Pessac. La Tribune.

“It means we have lighting in unlit areas without needing to undertake major civil engineering work. It is very discreet lighting, not invasive at all. This fits with the city’s ambition to combat light pollution.”
Bernard Grégoire

elected official in charge of works in Millau.
