Railway St, Navan, Co Meath – Heritage Streetlights

Heritage Lantern Example – Kilkenny

Heritage Street lighting is installed along the Riverbank in Kilkenny and in several other locations.

Consisting of both Heritage Streetlighting Lanterns and heritage lighting columns, lighting levels were significantly improved. The scheme was expanded to several other locations including Wall mounted versions as shown.

With 8m decorative street light Poles, Avon 75 brackets, and decorative Pendant heritage Luminaires with a copper and black finish, the scheme has received much favourable comment. External Copper Lights have the advantage that they do not corrode or rust. They will turn green/grey after a period.

The Heritage lighting columns are similar to standard Tubular lighting columns, except usually with larger (wider) diameter, to provide more substantial appearance and usually in a Black RAL finish. Several decorative aluminium die-castings are added to the Poles for architectural effect.
