Join us for an exclusive railway lighting event! Designplan Lighting, a trusted Network Rail partner, invites you to a 2-hour session on March 19th at 3 PM at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, Manchester. This event will introduce NR-GN-CIV-200-08, the new Lighting Design Guide for Stations, set to become a Safety Standard in 2026. Industry experts will share key insights, and you’ll also get a first look at ‘Hubstation’, Network Rail’s vision for the future of station design. Spaces are limited, and refreshments will be provided. If you're interested, please RSVP to charlotte.forder@designplan.co.uk. #RailwayLighting #StationDesign #NetworkRail

Light that changes lives
About us
For over 60 years we have worked with customers and partners to create lighting solutions that change lives. Our unique approach begins with what the light needs to achieve, carefully considering the environment, the needs of the end user and the safety of others. Every solution we provide is robust, reliable, low maintenance and long-lasting, delivering value through ‘business as usual’ continuity. Our luminaires feature metal bodies and diffusers designed to resist up to 250 joules of impact. High ingress protection and corrosion-resistant paint reinforce their durability. Removable gear trays allow easy maintenance and cost-effective upgrades to energy-efficient LED engines. Additional features include ligature resistance and compliance with sector-specific standards. Through our linkedin posts we aim to share best practice for illuminating challenging environments.

Installed in 1994, Bold Lane Car Park’s Sparta luminaires have transitioned from fluorescent to energy-saving LED via a retrofit gear tray. Each upgrade reduced energy use without new luminaire bodies or rewiring. The latest upgrade adds wireless lighting controls for better energy management. https://lnkd.in/eB3ntaYh #longlifelighting #retrofitgeartray #energysaving

Our luminaires are built to last and designed for easy LED upgrades. A retrofit LED gear tray reduces energy consumption without costly building work, extending the lifespan. https://lnkd.in/e84Wtxv9 #longlifelighting #retrofitupgrade #energysaving

Lighting in prisons is challenging—luminaires must be robust, impact-resistant, tamper-proof, and easy to maintain. In some areas, they also need to prevent self-harm. With the prison estate expanding, it's no surprise that LED solutions are becoming increasingly attractive. https://lnkd.in/eERbuEHg #longlifelighting #prisonlighting #LED

In Summer 2023, Designplan proudly launched a new LED Gear Tray Assembly line at HMP Fosse Way, in collaboration with Serco. This initiative is more than just about manufacturing—it's about equipping residents with valuable trade skills, helping them build a brighter future and supporting their reintegration into society. https://lnkd.in/e5GEyn7V #longlifelighting #retrofitgeartrays #rehabilitation

Designplan was selected to supply lighting for HMP Fosse Way, a Category C resettlement prison designed for 1,700 inmates. Our solutions included Unicell for bedrooms, Curve VR for association areas, and Monitor fittings for roof spaces. https://lnkd.in/es5BUYdr https://lnkd.in/eijDC5ZK #ligatureresistant#custodial

At Designplan, we’ve upgraded our Photometric Laboratory with a state-of-the-art far-field goniometer. Designed in-house, this new facility enhances our ability to measure luminous intensity and light distribution with greater precision. https://lnkd.in/etiXzB4R #longlifelighting #laboratory #producttesting

IP ratings define a product’s resistance to dust and water ingress. The first digit represents protection against particulates or foreign objects., while the second digit indicates water resistance—from light splashes to full submersion. https://lnkd.in/esqnYMEE #longlifelighting #IPrating #producttesting

Our experience has shown that an IK11 rating (50 joules) is insufficient to withstand the level of vandalism our products face. To ensure greater durability, we tested to the standard using a drop hammer, extrapolating impact resistance from 50 joules (IK11) up to 250 joules (IK20). https://lnkd.in/dtDVzAN7 #longlifelighting #ikrating #joules

At Designplan, we rigorously test our robust luminaires at every stage—from concept to completion. Continuous upgrades and retesting ensure top performance throughout their lifecycle. Our ongoing investment in R&D drives innovation, enhancing both efficiency and environmental impact. https://lnkd.in/eKg3G53j #longlifelighting #laboratory #producttesting
