Traxon e:cue by OSRAM reinvigorated Xiamen, one of the largest coastal cities of China with smart connected lighting. Thousands of e:cue control engines have connected millions of LED luminaires on nearly 1,400 buildings. The OSRAM smart solution now covers the main island of Xiamen, vital roads and bridges, central business districts including the Yundang Lake shores and the Exhibition Center area etc.

Red-tile roofs shaded in trees, sea breeze chasing waves, egrets flying above green lakes while the ancient temple striking the bell…Xiamen City of Fujian Province has long been recognized as Land for Poetic Dwelling. But a quiet island is not adequate to describe Xiamen of this date.  A commercial hub, the host of BRICS summit and a significant seaport, Xiamen is so much more than it used to be.

The main island is the most vigorous part of the city. The northern part is a vibrant eco-economic zone, where lies the Gaoqi International Airport, one of the most important aviation hubs in South China, the future city center Wuyuan Bay, and the radiant Wutong Light House. The eastern area is the new business center, where the BRICS summit was held and dozens of landmarks like Xiamen International Conference & Exhibition Center and Guanyinshan International Business Centre gather in one place. The south is the liveliest part of the island where stands the Xiamen Shimao Cross-Strait Twin Towers, the century-old prestigious Xiamen University and the ancient Nanputuo Temple etc. The west boasts the serene Yundang Lake, the Bailuzhou Park and the Lianban commercial zone. There are also new forces rising around the island, such as the Haicang Bay, Jimei cultural zone and the Xinglin Bay Business Center, not to mention the reputable Gulangyu Island.

Xiamen’s take-off requires infrastructure improvements, which would demand the power of lights. Where there is light, there is man; where there is man, there is vitality. The city chose connected lighting for urban beautification. Thousands of e:cue lighting control engines spread across the city, connected millions of LED luminaires and over 1,400 buildings, and brightened up the whole town including the main island, areas like Jimei, Haicang, Xiang’an and Gulangyu Island, major traffic routes including the Chenggong Avenue, Huandao Road, Lujiang Road, and the Four-Bridges-and-One-Tunnel. The digital solution by Traxon e:cue transformed Xiamen into a true smart city.

Now Xiamen is picturesque and tranquil in daylight, and radiant like heaven on earth at night. The Twin Towers shining by the sea like golden sails, the Exhibition Center’s dynamic lighting dancing rhythmically, the Yundang Lake surface filled with a myriad of household lights, the Gulangyu Island cloaked in moonlight, the coastlines bright as milky ways while bridges glamourous as rainbows.

OSRAM, Traxon e:cue, unlock the infinite possibilities of light to improve people’s lives.
