Uithoorn VINTO lighting upgrade
Connected VINTO luminaires are chosen to replace the FURYO 2 on busy dual carriageway
The municipality of Uithoorn in the Netherlands has taken another step forward in modernising its public lighting by replacing the luminaires on the busy Zijdelweg dual carriageway. This upgrade is part of a broader programme to prepare Uithoorn for the challenges of tomorrow.
From FURYO TO VINTO
For many years, the road was lit by FURYO luminaires. However, they no longer met the local authorities requirements regarding energy efficiency, light quality and ease of maintenance for road lighting.
The new VINTO luminaire, with a design inspired by the timeless look of the FURYO, was the ideal solution for replacing the FURYO luminaires which were still equipped with traditional discharge lamps.
Better quality of light using over 40% less energy
Equipped with the most advanced modern technology, the VINTO surpasses the FURYO in terms of energy-efficiency and performance.
By replacing the FURYO luminaires fitted with 90W ceramic metal halide lamps with the VINTO MIDI (40 LEDs), the municipality has reduced energy consumption by at least 40%. The new luminaires have also significantly improved the quality of light and have a longer service life.
All of the VINTO luminaires are connected to the Schréder EXEDRA smart lighting platform and will be dimmed at certain times during the night to reduce energy consumption even further.

The VINTO MIDI is a fantastic replacement for the popular FURYO for the municipality of Uithoorn, combining design, functionality and connectivity. It is a wonderful showcase for a forward-thinking municipality.
A cost-effective and future-ready upgrade
The new luminaires were installed on the existing poles, which saved money by eliminating the need to modify the poles or cabling. The quick installation process caused minimal disruption to residents and drivers and further reduced costs.
As both the VINTO and Schréder EXEDRA are designed to be interoperable and to work with 3rd party platforms, the new lighting installation is ready for smart city initiatives. Uithoorn is prepared for future smart city developments and ultimately to improve services for its residents.
The VINTO luminaire met the local authorities’ requirements in terms of design, performance and connectivity. The Zijdelweg dual carriageway is now better lit, improving safety for the local community with a much more sustainable lighting system.
