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 light poles unique base with hinge design and the built in option for lifting on the plastic base allowed them to be moved into the desired location around the school using a forklift.
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.
“We recently purchased Saferoads’ Solar Lights to provide security lighting for our school grounds. Throughout the purchasing process we consulted with the Saferoads team on making changes to the standard product to ensure it was suitable for our school needs. The process was fluid, and the end product was fit for purpose. The team that was onsite to deploy the lights were well versed on the product delivered and were able to provide insight into the placement of the lights to achieve the best possible light spread and outcome. I would have no hesitation in recommending Saferoads to anyone seeking a reliable and efficient solar lighting product.”
