Project: Snow Hill, Birmingham
Authority: Birmingham City Council
The 'Broadway Aeroform' lantern and 'Bowman' column were selected as being 'the most appropriate modern lighting design' for the Birmingham Snow Hill Regeneration Project.
Simple, but with a striking style, the columns incorporate a 5M high pedestrian lantern as well as the 8M highway luminaire. To differentiate the two functions, 150W high pressure sodium lamps were used at high level, and metal halide 100W at 5M. Some 100 columns were installed during the project, the lighting being a key element of the regeneration scheme.
The lanterns were primarily selected for their decorative form, while also meeting stringent lighting specifications including a high IP rating, integral control gear and ease of maintenance. Lighting levels and uniformity were in accordance with British Standards.
A full structural analysis of the columns and brackets was carried out and submitted with the proposal.
