LED adorns the gateway to Edo era city Koedo-Kawagoe with light that leaves an impression
Add to My ListConnected both to the Tojo Line of Tobu Railways and the Kawagoe Line of JR (Japan Rail) East, Kawagoe Station is a busy terminal that serves high numbers of passengers.
With around 30 years having elapsed since construction of the East Gate Station Plaza was originally completed, the city embarked upon a number of safety-oriented improvement and maintenance works, such as reinforcement of earthquake resistance measures, and reapplication of paintworks; improvements to update the lighting installations to LED were also carried out as part of these works. A gateway to emblematic sites of Kawagoe such as its atmospheric historical streets and the famous Kashiya Yokocho ("Candy Alley"), the elevated pedestrian walkway is bathed in a warm, incandescent light; with the bus terminal area at ground level illuminated by cool white LED lighting, the scheme is designed to provide a marked visual contrast between the ground level and the walkway above.
Sheltering covers were also newly installed during the works, allowing pedestrians to stay dry even in the event of rain, as had already been the case with the West Gate Station Plaza. With compact LEDioc FLOOD NEO floodlights providing the lighting for these covered areas, the pedestrian walkway benefits from being illuminated softly under a gentle, indirect lighting arrangement. Additionally, with the LED street luminaire LEDioc AREA mitis-B installed in the road areas and LEDioc MULTILINE base lights installed in pedestrian areas, the LED fixtures used in this project have all been selected based on their appropriateness to the settings in which they are used. The updated station plaza is now illuminated by a bright and pleasant light that is contributing towards energy savings as a result, and the upgrade to LED lighting has been met with much positive feedback from users of the station who note how it appears lighter than it had been previously.
