Italy’s oldest amusement park reopens with a new glow featuring Bridgelux LED arrays

Rome’s Luneur Park reopens its doors after eight years with new rides, new vigor, and new lighting, while retaining its historic charm.

LIVERMORE, CA – Bridgelux, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance, solid-state LED arrays, announced the selection of Bridgelux Vero® Series and V Series™ LED arrays in over 1,000 fixtures throughout the historic amusement park. The park has been a country landmark since 1953, but closed briefly in 2008 when it fell on hard times. Many anticipated the reopening of the park and the updated attractions. New lighting fixtures by ILM Lighting provides a bright, child friendly atmosphere meant to inspire, entertain and safeguard visitors of all ages while saving energy costs for the park.
