Casino Estoril

Upgrade the lighting to benefit from modern LED technology while maintaining the classic design of the six-sided lanterns

Opened in 1931, the Casino Estoril remains one of the largest and most iconic casinos in Europe. Situated at the top of a large park that slopes down towards Tamariz Beach, it is one of Cascais's main landmarks.

The local council is responsible for the lighting on the access roads and car parks serving the casino. In early 2025, it decided to upgrade the lighting in the surrounding area as it had been in service for over 25 years, no longer met the area's needs and was expensive to operate.
 

Classic design with modern technology

We proposed keeping the design of the CASCAIS lanterns, which were originally designed for the town in the late 1990s, and installing the latest generation with modern LED technology. This ensures that the town preserves its historic and aesthetic character while benefiting from energy-efficient technology with a long service life that requires virtually no maintenance. It enables Cascais Council to meet its various requirements: 

  • reduce energy costs and carbon emissions;
  • minimise operating expenses and maintenance interventions;
  • improve safety and comfort for pedestrians and motorists.
     

Reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions 

The new CASCAIS LED lanterns, consume 78W, compared to the old versions which were fitted with 100W discharge lamps and consumed approximately 120W. They generate a significant 35% reduction in energy consumption and CO2 emissions, helping the council to achieve its environmental targets.

Long-term performance with low maintenance

As the new lanterns have LEDs that have a much longer lifespan than previous discharge lamps, the municipality will benefit from fewer maintenance operations and reduced costs.
 

Better lighting, greater safety 

The new lanterns are equipped with warm white LEDs, which create a welcoming atmosphere and improve colour perception, allowing people to enjoy the space more safely.
