Solar Power Belisha Beacons (Pedestrian Crossing)

Solar Powered Belisha Beacons

Pedestrian Crossing Belisha Becons - Solar Powered

Thorne and Derrick solar powered Belish Beacons comply with BS8442 which is the UK Department of Transport belisha beacon specification issued in 2006.

The financial advantage of solar powered belisha beacons is that no expensive and fault prone cabling is required, no electricity bill, 100% carbon free in operation and the belisha beacon unit requires minimum maintenance.

The TC2211 solar powered belisha beacon has been installed at new and refurbished Sainsbury's store projects since May 2010. Tesco have also installed the solar beacons at a number of their stores and HQ.

Installation : Simply bolt the unit on top of a pole - no infrastructure services required.

Solar Powered Belisha Beacons for Road Safety - motorists are familiar with this style of belisha beacon on pedestrian crossings and consequently slow down when approaching and stop if pedestrians are on the crossing - this is an automatic psychological response and is irrelevant as to whether the crossing is on a public road or private road. i.e. the presence of a familiar belisha beacon not just a flashing light increases awareness with motorists and consequently makes the crossing safer.

Solar powered belisha beacons harness the sun's energy converting it into a valuable electrical source, lowering electrical costs to a minimum and conserving the environment - solar powered beacons draw driver attention to road safety signs, markings and crossings. Typical solar power belisha beacon lighting applications include : pedestrian walkways and cycle paths, shopping centres, retail parks and supermarkets, schools, colleges and universities, car parks, caravan parks and campsites.

Solar powered belisha beacons have been developed by modifying the Interplex Solar IS820 solar marine/aviation beacon that has a proven track record of ruggedness and age tested over 10 years. The result is identical to a traditional belisha beacon and gives 360 degree visibility.

T&D's solar power Belisha Beacon will operate automatically from dusk till dawn anywhere in the UK.

Thorne and Derrick also supply the 3m poles/posts that the solar power belisha beacons are installed to.
