Glamox, a global leader in lighting, has won a contract to provide marine lighting for Formosa 4, one of Taiwan’s most significant offshore wind farms. Glamox will supply over 900 specialised marine lights for the transition pieces of 35 wind turbines. Glamox has signed the contract with ProCon Taiwan and SK oceanplant.
Glamox’s offshore wind farm dedicated lighting will illuminate both the interior and exterior of each turbine’s transition pieces, which connect the wind turbine to its foundation. The foundational platforms will include Glamox lights covering the boat landing areas, guardrails, ladders, and access doors to the turbine’s interior.
Developed by Synera Renewable Energy (SRE), the Formosa 4 offshore wind farm site spans roughly 58 km2 and is located around 20 km off Taiwan’s west coast. Once completed, the wind farm is expected to generate approximately 495 MW/y of green electricity – enough to power around 500 000 households.
“Lighting is an important component of any offshore wind development project,” said General Manager Asia, Jimmy Tzou of Procon Taiwan. “The Formosa 4 wind farm will be operating in harsh marine conditions with direct exposure to fluctuating temperatures and seawater. For our transition pieces, we need robust, reliable marine lights that can withstand these demands. Glamox’s durable LED marine lights will also help us lower maintenance costs and achieve energy savings. We look forward to working with Glamox on this project that will support the growth of Taiwan’s renewable energy sector.”
The transition pieces’ platforms will feature a variant of Glamox’s MIR G2, which is specifically designed for Taiwan offshore wind applications. The platforms will feature Glamox’s FL60 LED floodlights, designed to withstand seawater and harsh conditions. The lighting for the transition pieces will be delivered in August 2026 and is being fabricated by Century Wind Power (CWP) in Taiwan and SK oceanplant in Korea.
“We are excited to work with ProCon Taiwan and SK oceanplant to supply our marine lighting for one of Taiwan’s most ambitious offshore wind projects,” added Tommy Stranden, the Chief Sales and Commercial Officer of Glamox’s Marine, Offshore & Wind division. “We have many decades of experience in delivering high-quality marine lighting, including for several of the world’s largest offshore wind farms. Our marine lighting is proven to withstand the 45° plus temperatures, humidity, and corrosion from seawater that the Formosa 4 wind farm will be exposed to.”
Formosa 4 follows the earlier development of Formosa 1 and Formosa 2 offshore wind farms, which helped establish Taiwan as a leading offshore wind market in Asia.
