A series of portable solar lights were required at Northern School for Autism to provide security lighting along walkways and throughout the grounds for staff and cleaners after hours. The lights needed to be portable and suitable for use in a school setting with autistic individuals, who may have heightened sensory sensitivities.
Saferoads innovative temporary lighting solution, the Blade Solar Light with hinged pole, offered the customer a bright and powerful light spread, enhancing safety at the school on deployment. This premium grade commercial portable lighting system was selected for its portability, ease of deployment and excellent light distribution. The hinged pole provides easy deployment despite its height, and the built-in option for lifting on the plastic base means mobility is not an issue.
Providing effective security lighting involves strategic placement of lights to enhance visibility and ensure the safety of staff and visitors. The Saferoads’ team collaborated with school staff to ensure the positioning of the lights gave an adequate light spread across the main thoroughfares throughout the school.
When choosing a product that is to be used in an autistic learning environment, anything with bright colours can be distracting and potentially overstimulating to the students. On consultation with Saferoads, the rotationally molded plastic base of the Blade Solar Light, which can be customised to a range of colours, was produced in black. The hinged pole was painted black, as well as using special anodized black bolts to create a comfortable and conducive atmosphere for the students.
