Street Lighting Design

Our Projects

Located close to the National Space Centre in Leicester, Space Park Leicester has been developed through a partnership between the University of Leicester, the City and the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership (LLEP). The new facilities will provide a mix of teaching, laboratory, office and collaboration space, allowing like-minded individuals and organisations to work together and drive growth in the space sector.

DW Windsor was appointed to supply the external lighting equipment for the project by the University of Leicester’s electrical team. DW Windsor’s extensive outdoor lighting portfolio played a vital role in the selection process, offering a range of high-quality solutions to the University.

Tornagrain Housing Development, Inverness

Tornagrain is a new town in the Scottish Highlands, just 8 miles east of Inverness. Inspired by historic urban locations such as Nairn, what is immediately striking about the Tornagrain Masterplan, is the fact that it doesn’t feel like a village full of new-build homes but one that has been around for centuries. The developer’s goal was to establish modern country living; blending traditional design with modern practice. To ensure the town retained its character, the Tornagrain Conservation Trust was created to help protect the town from inappropriate changes or additions.

This central theme dictated the need for lighting which emulated bygone eras but offered the performance of the latest LED technology.

The solution

DW Windsor’s flagship luminaire, the Street, in a neutral 4000K CCT, on aluminium Cardiff Columns, perfectly met the criteria for the residential roads. To manage energy use and provide light when it is most needed. The lanterns are dimmed by a DALI system, by 30% during midnight and 6am.

The development project was shortlisted in the 2019 Building Awards – Housing of the year category.
