Bespoke LED Fluorescent Tubes
Earlsmann were approached by WSP to develop and manufacture an LED tube for the Golden Jubilee footbridges.
The task was to develop a tube to replace unreliable cold cathode tubes which were installed in the balustrading. They were used to light the footpath and also needed to be seen from the river. In addition one side was to be blue and the other warm white and they were a special length and had to mount in the existing brackets. Other problems to overcome were vandalism and safety and an inhospitable environment. The drivers were to be mounted in bays under the footpath and were up to 35m from the tube
To meet the criteria Earlsmann built a prototype tube in polycarbonate with LEDs on both sides of an aluminium heatsink which was approved by the client, Wesminster City Council.
The final product was was sealed to IP68 and ran on 24Vdc to overcome voltage drop. Both sides were in warm white as the balustrade had a blue diffuser facing the river.
Client: Westminster City Council
