Christophe Durand, Thorn Product Manager - Road Lighting, explains: “Good lighting makes an enormous difference to virtually any town by reducing accidents, removing crime and promoting the longer use of facilities. What is not as well known is that roads can be correctly lit in a sustainable manner. The internet site shows how the Thorn range of road lighting products can reduce energy consumption and hence CO2 emissions whilst almost eliminating light wastage. Equally important they can adapt to changes in usage patterns and demographics, bringing light when and where its needed.”

The microsite provides information and advice on creating standards-compliant schemes, whether new traffic routes or pedestrian refurbishments. Specific sections cover lamps, circuits and controls, car parks, pedestrian crossings, tunnels and support systems.

The site also lists 28 product ranges, including Dyana LED, the sleek new road lantern that provides efficient, white light with little or no maintenance.
