Project Overview

As a part of the ‘Revitalising Braybrook’ initiative, the MCC was looking for an environmental sustainable solar public lighting that heightened safety for young local residents using the car parks and thoroughfares connecting the Braybrook Community Centre with Skinner Reserve Precinct.

An important consideration of the council was that the unnecessary illumination of pathways and car parks late in the evening that could possibly encourage ‘anti-social’ behavior. Leadsun’s range of solar public lighting products feature dimming and motion sensor technology that allows the lights to automatically ‘dim’ or ‘turn-off’ at a set time of the evening as nominated by the council.

Due to there being no in-ground cabling required, and the use of a concrete-less footing system, the installation process was very fast and was non-disruptive to both the environment and the local community who continued to use the whole precinct as normal.

The solar lighting project was successfully completed with lighting levels throughout the park high enough to ensure that all pathways and car park areas are safe for the public to use at night without the fear of crime.
