​
Section 38 Street Lighting Design
Our Section 38 street lighting designs are fully compliant with latest British and European standards BS 5489 & BS EN13201, nationally recognised good practice lighting publications and requirements of the relevant local authority. Given our decades of experience working on these type of street lighting design packages , we’ve been able to streamline the process and couldn’t have made it any easier. Our efficiencies are realised by customers in the form of greatly reduced design fees; Cencode Section 38 street lighting design packages are also inclusive of site visit costs and liaising with local authority to Technical Approval.
​
Section 278 Road Lighting Design
Cencode Independent Lighting Design Consultancy have decades of experience carrying out Section 278 road lighting surveys and Section 278 road lighting designs. A Section 278 road lighting design is generally associated with alterations to existing highway, when geometry or formation of a road junction requires change to meet envisaged increase in traffic movements. Our Section 278 road lighting designs are fully compliant to latest editions IET Wiring Regulations BS7671, BS 5489 & BS EN13201. Cencode take ownership of the Section 278 road lighting design process, from surveying existing illuminated street furniture on a highway to Section 278 road lighting design and liaising with local authority for Technical Approval.
​
Solar Powered Street Lighting Design
Technological advances for storing energy in latest lithium-ion batteries and harvesting that energy using monocrystalline solar panels has vastly improved performance and reliability of solar powered street lighting. There’s mistaken belief that the British Isles doesn’t have enough sunlight throughout the year, particularly during winter, to make solar powered street lighting a reality. We’re now carrying out solar powered street lighting designs for many of our housing developer clients, and having ourselves assessed night-time performance, during mid- winter, we found the solar powered street lighting equipment we specify to be quite impressive.
​
Planning Applications Discharge of Lighting Conditions
We’ve worked with numerous local authorities and their planning officers across the United Kingdom to assess proposed outdoor lighting for planning applications. We review proposed exterior lighting on a planning application and assess if adequately controlled to prevent light pollution and nuisance during night-time. We also advise independent town planners and architects how to minimise potential effects of obtrusive light from outdoor lighting and ensure compliance to permissible tolerances of GN01/20 and CIE 150: 2017
