fittings. For this project, 100x50mm clear profiles with flat 900 internal and external bends were used to provide scope for rapid inspection, ensuring that nothing can be concealed within them. 20mm and 25mm clear conduit with terminal boxes and accessories completed the project, with products being manufactured to order in just three weeks over a holiday period.

Lancashire benefits from a distinctive urban lighting design from Thorn
Thorn Lighting’s CiviTEQ, FleXity and R2L2 road lanterns have been included in an extensive installation and replacement programme throughout the County of Lancashire on schemes that range from small residential
T
he project, undertaken by Lancashire County Council, has addressed the
issue of high-energy costs by replacing the existing HID, SOX and SON Luminaires with Thorn’s highly efficient LED luminaires. This has resulted in reduced maintenance and has created a distinctive urban lighting design. Lancashire County Council issued an Invitation
to Tender (ITT), which was open to potential suppliers who had the required capacity to deliver a Contract of this size. The ITT was a very detailed document that covered all the specific requirements of the client. Failure to meet any of these needs was penalised in the evaluation using a points system that calculated the eventual winner. Whilst Capital Cost is always important, the most important criteria is Whole Life Cost or Total Cost of Ownership. LCC did an evaluation of all

the submissions from various manufacturers and calculated the most efficient and therefore cost effective bid over a 25-year period. Thorn Lighting Engineers were able to provide efficient solutions for the various lighting design scenarios, whilst meeting all of the stringent requirements for the project, including warranty, lead times and after sales support, becoming the sole supplier for the entire scheme. In planning the regeneration of its roads, Lancashire County Council was keen to address several key criteria, namely appropriate lighting levels with increased energy-efficiency, reduced operating costs and reduced carbon emissions, with the ability to save energy further by Part Night Dimming of the light fittings. Thorn has achieved this through the deployment of low energy, low maintenance luminaires that utilise the very latest LED technology. The design requirements were also very specific and subject
to established British & European Standards, which meant that the quality of light had to meet the required levels without exceeding them. Thorn’s CiviTEQ is a cost-effective LED road lighting solution suitable for projects that require the best balance between cost of ownership and performance. The luminaire is fitted with an R-PEC® optic to bring safe and efficient light to residential streets and high traffic roads and, with 2 size options up to 17klm and 12 precise light distributions, CiviTEQ adapts to any installation layout. The Thorn factory in County Durham has
manufactured and delivered in excess of 49,000 lanterns for this contract, all on time and in accordance with the Customers’ requirements. A further 20,000+ are planned for the new financial year.
