Urban Regeneration When you're working on a project lighting can be viewed two ways - as a final consideration or as a means of creating synergy between your project and its surroundings. D W Windsor see it the second way. Designing in the context of our cities, towns and villages calls for a special empathy between old and new. Their replicas of public lighting and street furniture designs over the years capture the superb proportions and sensitive detail of the originals ... from the earliest days oflighting, through the art deco period to the modern day. Lighting for commercial or security reasons can conflict with the natural desire to preserve the character of a fine period building. D W Windsor products solve the problem with a touch of brilliance ... lighting forecourts, building frontages, drives and even gardens while enhancing the overall feel with their welcoming ambience. For city centres, roads and amenity areas D W Windsor equipment incorporates state of the art technology giving a better light distribution than you would find with most modern post top lanterns. Vandals are kept at bay with measures like polycarbonate glazing panels, lockable control gear compartments and lanterns can be linked into security systems with infra-red movement detectors. D W Windsor have a street furniture range to stand along side their lighting, with the same integrity of style and quality, plus the convenience of one source specifying. The traditional designs stemming from the cannons used in the Crimean War blend in most happily with the urban landscape while meeting today's needs. Special lighting designs, with size, proportions and ornamentation to suit an unusual location are regularly built to order. The large lanterns that hang in the Fish Market, Golden Square, Warrington are fine examples. Such commissions are welcomed - they challenge our special skills and draw on our experience. Old lanterns and lamp posts can be restored to their former glory with new electrics and modern controls ... Cast iron work is shot-blasted to remove old paint layers and lanterns are refurbished with infinite care. Our new specifying chart makes decisions easy by showing graphically the combinations that are technically and aesthetically viable, and the chart is only a starting point ... our technical and design advice is freely available to support it. Via the chart, or an over-the-drawing board discussion, you can think creatively about period lighting.
