The Relationship Between Active Travelling and Lighting

Many people do not feel safe travelling after dusk, this is down to factors such as environment, crime rates, minimal CCTV presence and more. However, many studies have indicated the presence of lighting alleviates anxieties and improves confidence around active travel after dark. The real question is how can lighting help?

 

Lighting for Active Travel

Providing clear pathways for travelling after dark, lighting allows hazards to be identified and reduces the number of accidents that could occur. This is particularly important for vulnerable road users who often need to identify smooth and clear pathways in addition to marked crossings and more.

 

Advocates for safety, Kingfisher Lighting promote the use of exterior lighting to create safer environments around public areas. We hold a vast product range of amenity and street luminaires perfect for increasing clarity and improving safety for all active travellers.

 

The Kingfisher Product Design Team and Lighting Design specialists work together to ensure we get the best results from our luminaires. From the examination of LED chips to ensure quality to checking CRI ratings for optimised visual clarity, our products utilise only Tier One components for the best quality outcome for your site.

 

Based at Kingfisher HQ, our lighting design experts have many years of experience lighting many different applications across the UK. Their highly efficient designs promote excellent uniformity and high levels of visual comfort ideal for illuminating public spaces and increasing safety for all pedestrians, cyclists and other road users.

 

Created to the highest standards, our projects will also adhere to the relevant standards laid out by British Standards, the ILP and LIA and other important industry bodies. This encourages high performance whilst minimising obtrusive light for surrounding areas and road users.
