We used Cosmo White metal halide lamps to mark the boundaries between the road and path and ground-mounted LED up-lighters to highlight nearby trees. These LEDs are composed of two different rings of colours with two different angles of tilt to create a third colour, negating the need to use costly and complex Digital Multiplex (DMX) or Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) systems.
Our design also uses cool luminaires outside the square to intrigue passers-by, and warm ones to welcome and comfort visitors. Plus, the DFL team leveraged modern decorative luminaires, brackets and columns to add visual interest to the streetlights.
We can’t forget about the lighting requirements, either! Lighting levels in the new installation meet the appropriate standards of the BS5489 and EN13201 British and European standards, helping reduce energy consumption. Lanterns were also fitted with flat glass lenses to minimise light pollution.
