No school to be left in the dark

What is the most cost effective way of making the school grounds safe and attractive after dark?

The Department for Education states that schools should “provide external lighting to ensure safe pedestrian movement after dark” to comply with the ISS Regulation 23E and the SPRs Regulation 8.

But there is more to outdoor lighting than a legal requirement.

Outdoor lighting makes the school grounds more welcoming and a safer place to be when it is dark – whether it is for teachers working later, students going home from an after school club, or parents attending parents’ evening.

However there is a problem, because outdoor lighting can be expensive to buy and expensive to run, and even more so when multiple units of outdoor lighting are required to cover a large area or multiple building entrances and walkways.

Solisposts are innovative and contemporary solar powered bollards which are ideal for providing permanent low level lighting in walkways, entrances and carparks during the hours of darkness and which brighten on approach.

What’s more, the installation of the Solispost solar bollards is significantly cheaper than that of electrical bollards and they are even cheaper to run with zero energy costs.

And the Solis Power Management System offers the very latest in solar technology, providing high performance and long life lighting with the power capacity to ensure that there is permanent LED operation from dusk to dawn and PIR sensors that trigger automatic brightening on approach.

Furthermore, the Solisposts carry green credentials, are low maintenance, have an aluminium weatherproof construction and all installations of Solisposts come with a 3 years warranty on the parts.
