The street lighting along Ulmaņa gatve is made in Latvia by the Vizulo, which specialises in the manufacture of street and industrial LED lighting products. Even though lighting products were produced in Latvia during the Soviet era, V izulo did not attempt to take over where that industry left off; instead, it has forged its own path and currently exports its products to Estonia, Finland, France, Israel, New Zealand, Slovakia, Greece and other countries. In 2015, Vizulo won a competition in Estonia in which the lighting in seven different cities was changed simultaneously. Tartu also uses Vizulo lighting, as do several suburbs of Athens in Greece. And V izulo lighting has likewise been installed at the Latvian National Museum of Art, which was reopened in May 2016 after a major reconstruction. As a matter of fact, the company’s name, Vizulo, comes from the Latvian word vizuļot, which means to sparkle, to glisten, to shimmer with light.
