Ashby Electrical are proud to see the successful installation and testing of a pioneering lighting solution at Healey Mills – the first of its kind in the UK!
Delivered in partnership with CRSA, and with lighting supplied by The Railway Shop, this innovative rail-mounted lighting system uses specially designed fittings that clip directly to the stock rail, similar to points heating strips. This allows for even light distribution across walkways between sidings and meets required lux levels – all while significantly reducing the need for civils works.
With plug-and-play 2m leads also clipped to the rail, this approach brings several key benefits:
✔️ Major cost savings (no bases, trough routes, or CMS required)
✔️ Minimal electrical load despite long runs
✔️ Easy maintenance and long life span
✔️ Fault tolerance within each circuit
Key stats from the install:
1020 rail lights installed and tested
305 lighting bollards installed and tested
3 lighting columns installed and tested
42 junction boxes installed
1 LCC installed and tested
5 isolator panel enclosures installed and tested
~20,000 metres of cable installed and tested
Modification to existing DNO
A huge well done to everyone involved in delivering this innovative and efficient lighting solution!
