Safer urban spaces

The Orchard Estate, behind the Council’s offices in Broadmead Road, was previously lit with conventional metal halide lighting, which was becoming increasingly expensive to operate and maintain. 

In addition, there wasn’t enough light to illuminate the ground around the buildings, making the outside spaces dark and raising safety concerns. The apartment blocks are up to 30m high, and the Council required bright, clear light along the length of the buildings to provide a safe, welcoming environment for building users.

Earlsmann supplied its high-performance DOVER LED floodlighting to illuminate a 10m wide strip around the building, creating a well-lit, safer environment for the residents. 

Installing the power supplies remotely on the rooftop ensures easy access, making them easier, cheaper and safer to maintain.
