CPV Code 312, Lighting
What does CPV code 312 cover?
CPV code 312 (Lighting) classifies the public procurement of lighting technology and lighting systems. This ranges from municipal street and square lighting to interior lighting for schools, hospitals and government buildings, through to specialised lighting for sports facilities, tunnels and security areas.
The public lighting market is in the midst of a massive transformation. The conversion from conventional lighting (sodium vapour, mercury) to energy-efficient LED technology is the largest investment driver. Germany has approximately 9 million street lights, of which around 40% have not yet been converted to LED. This renovation need alone generates thousands of tenders annually.
The LED retrofit market
LED retrofitting of public lighting is one of the largest municipal investment programmes:
- Street lighting: Municipalities are systematically converting to LED, often supported by federal programmes
- Energy savings: LED saves 50–80% energy compared to sodium vapour lamps
- Smart lighting: Intelligent control with dimming, motion sensors and network connectivity
- Contracting models: Many municipalities award LED retrofitting as energy-saving contracting
