TMB: Finland City Awash in Light
The city of Kangasala in southern Finland, with its natural beauty and mineral water springs, has been a popular travel destination for centuries. When it was time to refurbish the street and public area lighting, it was also an opportunity to put an inviting face on the gateways to the city. The task was given to renowned lighting design firm VALOA which turned to TMB to provide LumenRAdio’s CRMX RGB LED fixtures..
Fixtures were integrated into a large number of lighting poles and bollards spread along the streets and intersections located on the perimeter of the city to give visitors a warm welcome and a pleasant goodbye to remember.
LumenRadio offers a wide range of wireless lighting control. TMB is exclusive distributor for LumenRadio in North America and the UK. Click here to find out more about LumenRadio. Learn about other innovative products offered by TMB at www.tmb.com.
