Background

Avon Valley Park hosts some of the South West’s most popular seasonal attractions, including its award-winning Fear Scream Park and Christmas events. During peak visitor periods, temporary lighting is essential to safely manage vehicle movements across large off-grid car parks.

Previously, diesel lighting towers were used throughout the site, creating ongoing fuel costs, manual maintenance requirements and unnecessary emissions. Looking for a cleaner, lower-maintenance alternative, Avon Valley partnered with Prolectric to trial ten ProRXM solar lighting towers across the event season.

The Challenge

The event team required temporary lighting that could:

Operate without mains power
Improve visitor safety throughout busy evening events
Eliminate diesel refuelling
Reduce operating costs
Remove manual switching of lighting during fireworks displays
Support Avon Valley’s sustainability objectives

Previously, staff were required to manually switch lighting towers off during fireworks displays before returning afterwards to illuminate visitor exit routes, creating additional workload during the busiest periods.

The Solution

Prolectric supplied ten ProRXM solar lighting towers as a fully managed temporary lighting solution.

Each unit was:

Delivered and positioned before the events opened
Configured for optimum lighting coverage
Programmed with automatic operating schedules
Remotely monitored throughout the event season

The fully autonomous operation eliminated refuelling, reduced maintenance visits and ensured reliable lighting throughout the event programme.

Results

The deployment delivered immediate operational benefits, including:

Zero fuel consumption
Zero diesel refuelling
Zero operational emissions
Silent operation throughout visitor areas
Automated lighting schedules
Reduced labour requirements
Reliable, uniform car park illumination

The ProRXM towers supported both the Fear and Christmas events without interruption, providing Avon Valley with a proven lighting solution for future seasonal events.

What our clients have to say

Prolectric’s solar lighting towers have been a game-changer for us at Avon Valley during both Fear Scream Park and our Christmas events. They gave us bright, reliable lighting across car parks and key guest areas, without the noise, fumes or refuelling issues that come with diesel towers. The remote control and automated scheduling meant the lights were on exactly when we needed them and our team weren’t tied up every night switching units on and off.
