Catenary lighting, which has been a popular option in Europe for many years, is gaining appeal in the United Kingdom.
Whether you’re contemplating suspending outdoor luminaires for space-saving or aesthetic purposes, there are a number of advantages to be obtained; have a look at our list.
Reduce (or eliminate!) street clutter
Lighting from above boosts the footprint’s utility; devoid of columns and structural supports, pedestrian space is regained.
Space optimization
With the removal of column mounting constraints, designers may now generate more visual appeal and maximize the potential of a room by lighting previously underutilized sections. Additionally, artwork and seasonal decorations may be used.
Exact, directed illumination – when required
By using catenary lighting, luminaires may be positioned above the region requiring illumination. As a consequence, the illumination intensity may be decreased while maintaining outstanding uniformity.
Light for interest
In general, light is uninteresting (controversial, I know!). Catenary lighting is fascinating, probably because it is underutilized now. It generates visual appeal and allows for the addition of decorations or artwork, which may help revitalize a public place and encourage people to return.
Increased safety
Encourage nighttime use and the feeling of a safer environment through the uniformity of illumination.
More economical
Catenary lighting may prevent an area from being overlit, hence reducing upward light pollution and energy consumption compared to conventional installation techniques. For new schemes, there are no capital expenditures or installation charges for columns.
