Jan Schaefer Bridge Amsterdam

The Jan Schaeferbrug bridge in Amsterdam has been revitalized with energy-efficient LED lighting from WE-EF, preserving its iconic design while reducing energy consumption by 75%. The lighting redesign, led by Hugo Hendrickx, uses customised luminaires to highlight the bridge's structure, with contrasting light colours for functional and aesthetic appeal. The result restores the bridge's original visual rhythm and enhances its nighttime presence in the cityscape.
