Enhancing Lancashire’s Street Lighting for a Sustainable Future
Lancashire County Council sought to modernize its street lighting infrastructure to reduce energy consumption, lower maintenance costs, and decrease carbon emissions. The project spanned a variety of road types, from residential streets to major traffic routes, requiring a lighting solution that met British and European standards. To achieve this, the council launched a competitive bidding process, prioritizing whole-life cost efficiency over 25 years. Thorn Lighting won the contract and became the exclusive supplier, tasked with delivering high-quality, energy-efficient LED lighting.
Innovative Lighting Solutions for Maximum Efficiency
Thorn Lighting provided thousands of LED road lanterns, ensuring improved illumination, enhanced road safety, and significant energy savings. The solution included advanced lighting controls such as part-night dimming, optimizing efficiency while maintaining required light levels. With a strong focus on durability and ease of maintenance, Thorn’s luminaires met stringent design requirements while offering long-term reliability. The company’s ability to deliver within specified lead times and provide robust after-sales support made it a key partner in Lancashire’s lighting transformation.
"The new lighting from Thorn has not only reduced maintenance but also created a distinctive urban lighting design for Lancashire, utilizing the latest LED technology for efficiency and reliability."
