Nottinghamshire county council

The brief

OVERVIEW

Nottinghamshire County Council manage and maintain approx. 94,000 street lights in the County.Since 2014 an LED luminaire replacement programme has been rolling out to replace all SOX lanterns in the County.The aim of the project was to reduce energy use and street lighting outages through-out the County giving the residents of Nottinghamshire an efficient lighting stock with fewer outages and reduced budget pressures for energy and maintenance.

Challenge

THE TASKS WE HAD TO ACHIEVE

Nottinghamshire County Council’s main challenge was to find a more energy efficient solution to the SOX lanterns that not only helped to save overall energy consumption but also lowered carbon emissions, reduced maintenance costs and achieved the target lighting levels. Any proposed lantern would need to deliver on all the requirements but also be flexible enough to be used across a range of road layouts.

The Solution

HOW WE ACHIEVED THE RESULT

Holophane & Nottinghamshire County Council Street Lighting Engineers worked in partnership to identify a range of luminaires suitable for the replacement programme. The chosen luminaire - Holophane’s award winning V-Max.

With its pioneering chevron modular design, the V-Max provides unrivalled flexibility, efficiency and optical performances, ideal for delivering the best performance for the range of roadway classifications across Nottinghamshire.
