Thorn shines a light on Irvine High Street and closes regeneration
Thorn have supplied the lighting for North Ayrshire Council ’ s £ 2.8 million project to upgrade Irvine High Street , as part of their commitment to delivering the area-wide regeneration initiative Irvine Vision . Key objectives included creating a pedestrian-friendly environment by improving circulation , introducing traffic calming measures , widening footways , reducing street clutter and upgrading the lighting to facilitate safer access through the town centre , whilst protecting the environment and reducing operating costs . Challenges in balancing the luminaires to achieve the correct lux levels and uniformity were overcome by utilising a mix of column and wall mounted solutions using Thorn ’ s in-house Satys brackets on walls to compliment the column units and mounting Dyana LED lanterns on bespoke columns . Thorn ’ s saucer-shaped , IP66 Dyana
LED lanterns have a distinctive design and are only 110 mm in thickness , with outstanding optics and great versatility . The high power LEDs are boosted by a patented lens and aluminium reflection system for uniform and glare-free illumination .
Dyana LED has a choice of two beam distributions and is perfect for illuminating city streets , building surroundings and pedestrian areas at heights between 6m and 8m , post top or side mounted . By concealing the heat sink with a smooth aluminium canopy and shielding the LEDs under toughened glass , the lantern is protected against the elements of weather and corrosion and maintains optimum performance over 50,000 hours .
Duncan McLean , Director of Landscape Architecture at LUC comments “ The refurbishment of the town centre lighting is a fundamental component to Irvine ’ s regeneration . The Thorn Dyana LED lantern has proved to be a robust and elegant solution .” Abrar Suleman , Electrical Services Engineer at Hawthorn Boyle Ltd comments “ Thorn has helped the Hawthorn Boyle and LUC team deliver a hugely impressive , visually stunning lighting scheme that reflects the new Irvine Streetscape upgraded for today and future aspirations ”.
