As part of a programme of works that will see Lambeth Council convert its street lighting stock from SON-T to LED, Bouygues Energies & Services selected Zeta Specialist Lighting’s SmartScape Heritage LED Conversion solution to retro-fit 645 heritage lanterns across the Borough.

The installation of energy-efficient, carbon saving LED lighting is integral to the London Borough of Lambeth’s commitment to be a more sustainable borough. Converting to LED street lighting will reduce C02 emissions and deliver significant energy savings.

For Lambeth Council, retaining heritage-style lamps within conservation areas was a key requirement of the LED upgrade initiative which is why Bouygues opted for Zeta’s SmartScape Heritage, which enabled it to retro-fit rather than replace the whole lanterns.

Zeta’s intelligent design means that the integrated engine can be engineered to fit into a vast range of different heritage lantern shapes and sizes. Zeta’s bespoke solution included three different styles, each of which came in a number of variants and shapes, meaning the legacy lanterns still looked the same.

SmartScape Heritage incorporates cutting edge LED technology which offers significant cost savings. The 40W LED retro-fit units replaced a mix of 70W and 100W lamps, delivering up to a 60 per cent reduction in energy consumption.

Zeta’s SmartScape Heritage is IP65 rated, boasts a number of beam angle options to suit various applications and uniquely can also be configured so that it will continue to run for a few hours during a power cut.

Retro-fitting 645 heritage lanterns across the Borough took around six weeks and was done on a street-by-street basis.
