Highway Lighting Solutions Ltd

The company designs lighting for residential developments, public amenity areas, footpaths and car parks, home zones and traffic calming schemes, and roads, roundabouts and dual carriageways. Where adoption is required it obtains technical approval from the local authority, and for private developments its designs are prepared to meet planning conditions.

Design package

Work can start with a feasibility study, a survey of existing lighting and recommendations, with designs aiming to use the minimum of new equipment and integrate with existing schemes. Clients can comment on and revise designs before the final package is issued. The package includes a design drawing with column positions and an equipment schedule, a technical report with lighting calculations and supplier details, a copy of the relevant local authority specification and, where needed, electrical distribution diagrams. Drawings are supplied electronically in AutoCAD format so they can be incorporated into site layouts and costings.

The company says well designed lighting reduces installation, connection, maintenance and running costs and limits light pollution. Projects shown on its website include residential schemes, traffic calming, inner city regeneration around Chester bus station and a dual carriageway survey and design, and it lists design planning work for Bellway Homes.
