Converting the entire Rudelzhausen street lighting to LED
will cost around 83,000 euros.
There was now a clear opinion in the local council.
Rudelzhausen
- Before the decision of principle of the Rudelzhausen municipal council on converting the street lighting to LED came to the vote, there was a presentation by Robert Dallmayr, member of Bayernwerk Netz GmbH.
In it, the expert also pointed out the currently particularly interesting state funding.
Of the total of 83,000 euros total costs, 76,000 euros are therefore eligible.
If the application is made this year, there will be an "increased grant of 30 instead of the last 20 percent of the eligible costs," said the consultant.
And he added that in the coming year it might only be 25 percent.
The advantages
According to Dallmayr, approval always takes five to six months.
The renovation can only start afterwards, in the new year.
The good thing about it is that “there are no additional costs” for the municipality for ten years.
Maintenance is included.
A lot is technically possible, the bandwidth is diverse.
Both mushroom-shaped lights and cylindrical lanterns are conceivable.
In addition, the municipality does not necessarily have to be the owner of the street lighting.
“We at Bayernwerk are still the owners,” explained Dallmayr.
Exclusively the power of disposal lies with the municipality.
"We submit the application, the implementation concept is worked out together," said the consultant, specifying the procedure.

The status quo
Regarding the status quo of consumption, he explained that the 355 street lights would consume 50,000 kilowatt hours of electricity over a period of 4050 hours a year.
One of the advantages of LED lights is, among other things, that the lighting points can be darkened at night, i.e. dimmed, so to speak, which further reduces power consumption.
The discussion
In the council, however, the question arose as to how things look with insect protection for LED lights.
Robert Dallmayr replied that the warm white LED light color was the most insect-friendly.
Robert Forster (CSU) wanted to know to what extent the lowering at night was "arbitrary".
Dallmayr replied that the reduction was up to 50 percent over seven hours a night.
Regarding the glare effect, which was also requested, the expert explained that you have to look at it on a case-by-case basis.
The decision
At the end of the debate, Mayor Michael Krumbucher pleaded for the decision in principle to be adopted.
"We should do everything right away, because we won't get it any cheaper," the town hall chief was convinced.
His proposal was: “Work out an implementation concept and then submit the application.” The committee was also convinced of the request - and voted unanimously in favor of the retrofitting.
For this one has already set 60,000 euros in the budget.
When asked by FT, the town hall found out that the savings potential was 70 to 75 percent.
