Summary: Thurrock Council's LED Street Lighting Upgrade

Thurrock Council initiated a comprehensive street lighting refurbishment to replace outdated SON/SOX luminaires with energy-efficient LED solutions. The primary objectives were to enhance lighting quality, reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, and lower maintenance costs. The project encompassed residential estates, distributor roads, and major roundabouts, aiming to improve safety and sustainability across the borough.

Lighting Solution: Thorn's CiviTEQ LED Lanterns

Thorn Lighting's CiviTEQ LED lanterns were selected through a rigorous tender process, meeting key criteria such as improved lighting levels, energy efficiency, and adaptability to existing infrastructure. The lanterns' lightweight design facilitated installation on existing concrete columns, while their compatibility with dimming controls allowed for future energy savings. The project involved the installation of over 13,000 CiviTEQ lanterns, addressing previous issues of poor lighting and high maintenance.
