Lighting design
Lighting design
The design, planning and analysis of street lighting is a complicated process that requires significant training. From LED luminaires and lighting spillages to pole-height requirements and industry compliance standards, good solar street lighting design relies on an in-depth understanding of numerous influencing factors.
Lighting design in compliance with AS/NZS 1158.3.1:2020
Leadsun’s team of designers are experts in this complex field and use the latest lighting software to model simulated light levels for projects. Additionally, Leadsun applies best-practice and provides dark-sky certified lighting designs wherever possible. This means our lights only illuminate downwards, onto the target areas, avoiding upward spill and glare light that causes light pollution to the surrounding neighbourhood.
Designing bespoke solutions
We’re proud to have been invited to engineer lighting solutions for a range of innovative projects. These have included working with the City of Melbourne’s industrial design team on a lighting sculpture in Birrarung Marr, and with the New South Wales state government to implement a solar powered lighting system to illuminate the upgraded, heritage-listed $3.9 million John Whitton Bridge and connecting pathways.
