LED Insert compatible with THORN AVENUE
LUXEGA LAUNCHES LXR-0015 — LED INSERT COMPATIBLE WITH THE ICONIC THORN AVENUE
Copenhagen, Denmark — Luxega, the European specialist in LED retrofit solutions for public lighting infrastructure, today announces the launch of LXR-0015, a precision-engineered LED insert developed specifically compatible with the Thorn Avenue street luminaire — one of the most widely installed armatures across European municipalities.
The LXR-0015 enables a complete light source replacement in under 8 minutes without removing the existing armature housing from the pole. The original Thorn Avenue housing, pole, and bracket remain 100% intact, and only the internal light source is replaced, delivering a 50% reduction in energy consumption, full compliance with EN13201 photometric standards, and zero civil works — at a fraction of the cost of a full luminaire replacement.
"Municipalities across Europe are sitting on thousands of Thorn Avenue installations," says Rune Søgaard Larsen, CEO of Luxega. "The housing is not the problem — it never was. The LXR-0015 gives those installations a new 20-year life without touching the infrastructure. That is what circular economy looks like in practice."
With the EU phase-out of high-pressure sodium lighting completing in 2027, municipalities face a replacement decision on millions of installed luminaires. Full pole-to-pole replacement carries significant cost in materials, civil works, and landfill disposal, but the LED insert approach eliminates all three. By retaining the existing armature housing, the LXR-0015 reduces the total cost of transition by 40–60% compared to full replacement, while delivering identical photometric performance and a service life of 20+ years.
The LXR-0015 is confirmed 100% compatible with the Thorn Avenue armature, installs in 8 minutes, reduces energy consumption by up to 50% versus the original sodium source, and is available in 3000K and 4000K colour temperatures. It carries a rated lifetime of 100,000 hours L80B10, an IP66 ingress protection rating, and a 5-year warranty. Luxega offers a free compatibility assessment for any armature type — send one unit and receive a confirmed compatibility report within 48 hours.
LXR-0015 is available immediately. For technical documentation, photometric files in Eulumdat format, and volume pricing, contact info@luxega.eu or visit www.luxega.eu.
