An important consideration of the council was that the unnecessary illumination of pathways and car parks late in the evening could possibly encourage ‘anti-social’ behavior. Leadsun’s range of solar public lighting products features dimming and motion sensor technology that allows the lights to automatically ‘dim’ or ‘turn off’ at a set time of the evening as nominated by the council.

Due to there being no in-ground cabling required, and the use of a concrete-less footing system, the installation process was very fast and was non-disruptive to both the environment and the local community who continued to use the whole precinct as normal.
