reduced carbon emissions – equivalent to taking 268 cars off the road.
longer-lasting lights that require less maintenance – up to 4 times longer than the current lanterns, providing savings of £1.7m over the next 10 years
Impact on your property
street lighting is only intended to light the public highway, not private drives or gardens.
a successful LED trial has already been implemented in the Hillfields area, which has received positive feedback from residents
lanterns will initially be installed at 100% output, then dimmed to the agreed levels within 7 working days (9 calendar days)
glare shields previously installed may no longer be required – the upgraded lantern profile means there is less wasted light
it is natural for eyes to adjust to the new whiter light over a few weeks, so we ask that residents wait for two weeks to allow for this before deciding whether to contact us. However, if you are still experiencing any problems with glare 2 weeks after the upgrade to LED lanterns, please contact the team at Balfour Beatty by email – enquiries@lightingcoventry.com
