LED street lighting in Malaga
Jorge Muñoz Estrada, Senior Specialist in Public Lighting, City of Malaga
The City of Malaga began to introduce its LED lighting technology in 2010 as a pilot project. This pilot project consisted of 239 luminaires from seven different manufacturers. Following this initiative, the first large-scale LED project was implemented in Soho Malaga between 2013 and 2014. Since then, several projects have been realised: San Miguel Cemetery, San Telmo, etc. Moving forward, next on the city’s agenda is a pedestrian walkway with presence detectors.
Jorge Muñoz is an electrical engineer and holds an MBA. He has been working as a Senior Specialist in Public Lighting for the City of Malaga (Spain) since 2007. Previously, he worked as a researcher and assistant professor at the University of Malaga. He participated in the EU Task Force on Solid State Lighting for Cities. In the past few years, he has been in charge of several LED lighting projects in Malaga. The team he was leading won the 2nd Prize in the Auroralia 2014 Award competition with the Soho Malaga lighting facility.
