Lighting Design Services
Our engineers understand all relevant lighting regulations and British standards. As such, we can not only advise on lighting layout, but we can fully analyse the lighting requirements for each site. Read more in our article on: Why lighting design is essential when procuring street lights?
Unique 3-PIR Sensor
Prolectric’s Street Lighting 3-PIR sensor is the only light, unique to the market, offering detection for a wider range of motion. Up to 20m detection with 15m in front and 12m to each side.
Street Lighting Compliance
Our street lights are fixed at a static angle for wind-loading and compliance. In some instances, like in Northern Scotland, a more acute angle may be required and we have engineered a bracket to enable this. Variable angle brackets are liable to not be compliant for wind-loading, we therefore recommend not using them when possible.
