Case Study: Sydney Road, Coburg VIC - Part 1

Making the light for the location
When it came to choosing a more efficient and effective way of lighting a busy street, one council in Melbourne was able to draw on the skills of WE-EF LIGHTING to provide an exact solution. In early 2013, the Moreland City Council made a decision to upgrade the lighting of the shopping section of one of the main arterial roads in Coburg, 'Sydney Road', which is considered to be the gateway between Melbourne and Sydney. LED lighting was the preferred choice, due to its superior illumination and energy-saving features, as the replacement for the existing 150 W high-pressure sodium lamps.

The project was notable on a number of counts. Foremost, the job was complex as it required lighting supplier WE-EF to be flexible and able to respond to the diverse needs of numerous stakeholders. In addition, creating a custom LED product that met the stringent criteria of not only those responsible for the 'poles and wires' on this stretch of road, but also those of road, rail and tram transportation authorities, was a complicated task. The lighting product also had to meet the Australian Standard (V3) for lighting roads and public spaces (under AS/NZ1158.1) - a factor that set WE-EF apart from all other suppliers of top-end decorative products on the market.
