OSRAM LED Lighting Transforms St. Peter's Square in Rome

On October 20, 2016, at 8:00 PM, St. Peter's Square in Vatican City was inaugurated with a new LED lighting system designed by OSRAM. The project, a partnership between OSRAM and the Directorate of Technical Services of the Governorate of Vatican City, replaced the original torches with 132 state-of-the-art LED projectors, reducing energy consumption by 70% while enhancing the square's historic beauty. The lighting ceremony followed a visit to the Sistine Chapel, which OSRAM had also illuminated two years earlier. Giuseppe Bertello, President of the Governorate of Vatican City, gave an introductory speech on the symbolism of light and ethics. Olaf Berlien, CEO of OSRAM, expressed emotion and pride in the team's dedication. The project emphasizes integration, harmony, sustainability, and emotional impact.
