Breathing new life into Thames Crossing
DW Windsor Lighting’s Garda LED illuminated handrail has been used to great effect on the Teddington Lock footbridge that provides a direct link between Ham and Teddington in Middlesex. DW Windsor was approached by the London Borough of Richmond to improve the poor quality lighting on the footbridges, which was coming to the end of its serviceable life. In addition to existing illumination levels being poor, much light was being shed on the river below to the detriment of the local bats and other wildlife.
Following removal of the existing 2 sided rail which widened the cyclist route, DW Windsor’s bespoke low-level lighting solution Garda, was installed incorporating 78 x 300mm Asymmetric LED modules (dimmed to 25% output).
Bespoke brackets were designed to be sympathetic to both the listed structure and the surrounding architecture.
