Seoul Semiconductor providing LED tunnel safety landscape lighting for Seoul City
South Korean LED maker Seoul Semiconductor Co Ltd has signed a ‘Standard Safety Design Agreement’ with the Seoul Metropolitan Government to enhance citizen safety in tunnels and underpasses throughout the city.
Seoul Semiconductor will provide its LED technology for tunnel safety landscape lighting, designed to improve visibility during emergencies. The LEDs significantly enhance visibility in urgent situations such as fires or power outages.
The collaboration is the result of Seoul Semiconductor’s development of a yellow-green wavelength LED technology that provides high visibility even in hazardous conditions — the first of its kind in South Korea. The newly developed tunnel safety lighting will first be piloted in three locations: Hongjimun Tunnel, Jeongneung Tunnel, and Guryong Tunnel. The application is expected to expand to other tunnels and underpasses currently under construction across Seoul.
“We plan to continue expanding our collaboration with the Seoul city government to apply our technology to tunnels and underpasses nationwide,” says representative from Seoul Semiconductor.
