To overcome shading from tree foliage, master/slave systems were employed. These comprise a light, located in the open with good solar exposure, fitted with a higher capacity solar panel, which power both its own luminaire and slave light, via safe low-voltage trenched cable.
The light’s footings were kept outside the dripline of tree canopies, to eliminate any tree root damage, using outreach arms to extend the light head to the car park boundaries whilst also ensuring compliance with Australian lighting standards. The integrated EDGE Wireless Remote Control allows for easy off-site control and monitoring of the lights. Finally, light shields were added to systems installed near neighbouring properties to eliminate any light spill.
Leadsun’s lighting now illuminates all areas of the Werribee Districts Football Club in Soldier’s Reserve, helping discourage anti-social behaviour and improving safety for local residents, club members and the community as a whole.
