FEATURE LIGHTING & LIGHTING CONTROLS STREET LIGHTING SYSTEM EXPANDED
Telensa has been selected by Wiltshire County Council to expand its PLANet intelligent street lighting system by an additional 7,000 lights across the county
Ringway is the contractor and Atkins is the consultant. The combination of Telensa smart controls and advanced LED lights from Urbis Schréder has enabled the council to implement sophisticated lighting profiles that save energy and create a more pleasant urban environment. The project began in October and is due for completion in October 2021. Telensa PLANet is an end-to-end intelligent street lighting system,
consisting of wireless nodes connecting individual lights, a

he established deployment already controls 35,000 lights, and paid for
itself in just six years through reduced energy and maintenance costs. These controls are also being
upgraded as part of a broader LED replacement program, for which
dedicated wireless network and a central management system. PLANet maximises the benefits of LEDs, pays for itself in reduced energy and maintenance costs, improves quality of service through automatic fault reporting, and turns streetlight poles into hubs for smart city sensors.
“The addition of Telensa controls has
helped the council to significantly reduce our energy costs, whilst at the same time improving our street lighting service,” said Peter Binley, head of service – highway asset management and commissioning at Wiltshire Council. “Extending our partnership to a total
of 42,000 smart streetlights county-wide is an example of Wiltshire Council’s leadership in intelligent infrastructure to deliver a safer, smarter, and more efficient environment for its citizens.” “Rising energy prices and tightening
budgets mean that it is more important than ever to be able to offer local authorities deployment-proven solutions,” said Will Gibson, chief commercial officer, Telensa. “We’re delighted to expand our
partnership with Wiltshire to deliver a more efficient street lighting system that will serve citizens’ needs for decades to come.”

LED lighting for polar research vessel A
LED lighting specialist, Glamox, has supplied energy efficient LED lighting to the polar research vessel, RRS Sir David Attenborough
ccording to the vessel’s operator, British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Sir
David Attenborough is one of the most advanced polar research vessels in the world and will play an important role in improving our knowledge of the key polar atmospheric and oceanic processes, which are critical for regulating the Earth’s climate. It will also enhance our knowledge of
the Southern Ocean ecosystem, essential for the conservation and management of Antarctica’s species and biological resources. Commissioned by the Natural
Environment Research Council and built by Cammell Laird, the vessel is operated by BAS, an organisation that delivers
and enables interdisciplinary research in the polar regions. According to BAS, Sir David Attenborough is designed to provide UK polar researchers and their international collaborators with access to a multi-disciplinary research platform to enable the study of a wide range of marine disciplines. Glamox has supplied more than
2,200 LED luminaires to the vessel, including downlights, indoor and outdoor technical luminaires and interior lighting. The LED products chosen for the
vessel have a green profile - they consume less than half the energy of conventional lighting and produce less waste, as there are no fluorescent

tubes that need replacing. Also, the need for maintenance of the lighting is virtually eliminated.
