Thorn faced challenges in balancing the luminaires that would achieve the correct lux levels and uniformity whilst giving the area a unique look and contemporary feel that would integrate with North Ayrshire Council ’ s required CMS system . These challenges were overcome by utilising a mix of column and wall mounted solutions with Thorn ’ s in-house Satys brackets on walls to complement the column units and mounting Dyana LED lanterns on bespoke columns .
Thorn ’ s Dyana LED lanterns meet all of today ’ s demands for ecofriendly road lighting and are virtually maintenance-free , with a 12-year service life . With distinctive product design , outstanding optics , and great versatility , this saucershaped luminaire ( only 110 mm in thickness ), is available in 3,000 and 5,000 lumen packages with a colour temperature of 4200K ( neutral white ). The high power LEDs are boosted by a patented lens and aluminium reflection system for uniform and glare-free illumination .

Duncan McLean , Director of Landscape Architecture at LUC commented , “ The refurbishment of the town centre lighting is a fundamental component to Irvine ’ s regeneration . It contributes to the creation of a vibrant and safer environment at all times of the day , 365 days a year . The Thorn Dyana LED lantern has proved to be a robust and elegant solution for Irvine Town Centre .”
