The upgrading works to the public realm and lighting the length of Merry Street have transformed the appearance dramatically, both day and night, leading to increased footfall and longer dwell times, which can in turn bring significant economic benefit to the businesses within the heart of this bustling town centre.
The lighting scheme developed by Lightfolio for the public realm was married up with elements of the illumination of Dalziel Parish Church (which we developed in tandem), ensuring that the Church was not isolated from the newly revamped streetscape, its place within the community reinforced visually after dark.
LED colour change lighting within the head sections of the street lights reflect the colours within the steeple and trees to the front and side of the church. White light sources with a high degree of colour rendering were chosen both for the street lighting and architectural lighting to deliver a feeling of high quality and vibrancy after dark, replacing the rather dark and dismal sodium lighting which proliferated previously.
