Lights on the Street Illuminate Breamlea Caravan Park
Client
Lighting upgrade for interior roads and amenity blocks
Lighting Compliance
AS/NZS 1158.3.1 P3/P4
Project Overview
The Breamlea Caravan Park were having maintenance issues with the grid-powered lighting system powering the lights on the street around their interior roads and amenity blocks. Together with this and ever-increasing power costs, they decided to install SMART public lighting to save money on maintenance and power bills. Breamlea Caravan Park called on Leadsun for an efficient and effective installation process.
Visibility Issues due to no Lights on the Street
Breamlea Caravan Park is a beautifully tree-lined resort, only a few metres from a surf beach, is home to regular weekend visitors and permanent site holders. The park is laid out similarly to a small estate and has a rural communal feel about it. The few existing powered lights that existed were very run down, had rust build up around the poles and luminaires and provided a non complaint level of street lighting which was causing visibility issues throughout the park.
This lack of visibility made residents feel unsafe while commuting throughout the caravan park, especially after dark. The client also noticed that the communal spaces designed for resident gatherings were rarely used after the sunset due to lack of visibility and perceived danger.
Lights on the Street - a SMART Solution
Our project brief was to install compliant lights on the street, as well as provide lighting throughout the whole park including roadways, the gate entrance, and the communal toilet blocks. Whilst greater lighting levels were requested, the park ambiance had to be considered to ensure the surrounding environment remained as natural as possible.
Leadsun’s Smart Public Lighting solution was best suited to this park as all lights operate in a DIM mode throughout the night maintaining a natural environment. Once the inbuilt PIR sensor detects movement around the light it illuminates to full brightness, providing visitors, security, and residents high visibility and a safe environment to move around in.
This project also incorporated Leadsun’s EDGE – a wireless technology that allows the park managers to remotely monitor and configure all lights, battery consumption, and detect failure warnings from off-site at any time.
Enhanced Safety and Sustainability
By choosing Leadsun’s solar-powered lighting solutions, Breamlea Caravan Park not only improved visibility but also demonstrated a commitment to sustainability. The advanced lithium-ion batteries and energy-efficient LED technology deliver long-lasting performance with minimal environmental impact.
Additionally, the adaptive lighting control system reduces energy consumption by dimming the lights during periods of inactivity, aligning seamlessly with the park’s eco-friendly ethos. This blend of safety and sustainability has rejuvenated the park’s communal areas, encouraging greater social interaction and strengthening the overall sense of community, even after dark.
