LIGHTING & ELECTRICAL
ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS LIGHTING
ALWAYS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE INDUSTRY
Reddilight is a family-run business based in Redditch , Worcestershire , specialising in the manufacture of street and sign lighting . Founded in 1992 by a brother and sister team with a combined twenty years of experience in the sector , Reddilight has always been at the forefront of the industry . Most notably they were the first company in the UK to use LED ’ s in road sign solutions , revolutionising the market .
The business got its start manufacturing electrical components for other lighting companies , but soon turned its hand to designing its own range of products , starting with the RH1 sign light in 2006 . A slick alternative to the bulkier sign lights typically installed in the 2000s , it was conceptualised to extend the tube-like lines of signposts , making the lights and posts look like one object , opposed to a two . Today , Reddilight ’ s products can be found up and down the country illuminating paths , shop fronts and roadsides . It gives Managing Director Tony Concannon most satisfaction , however , to see the installation of Reddilight luminaries in his home of Worcestershire , where he grew up and has lived all of his life . “ Helping to create a safer environment for local residents , where they can feel safe and secure walking late at night , that ’ s what it ’ s all about . We ’ re proud to play a small part in it ”, he says .
An early adopter of solar technologies , being environmentally conscious is one of the key goals for Reddilight when designing innovative products . The newly developed Solar Path Light , for example , has zero operating carbon emissions . It illuminates 16m of pathway and operates on a motion sensor to conserve energy and increase efficiency . What ’ s more , it charges in all weather types , making it a reliable source of light . Going forward , one of the company ’ s primary goals for the next decade is to adapt the manufacturing process to take the entire solar product line from zero operating carbon emissions to carbon net zero . This aspect of the job , research and development is MD Tony ’ s favourite part of work . “ Keeping up to date and incorporating the latest technologies is what makes this job exciting ,” he tells us . “ We have several new product ideas in development , which should make installing our Solars even more simple . Keep an eye on our website in 2023 for more updates .”.
