We are transforming the lighting landscape and providing opportunities for Councils and Local Authorities to change and replace their old street lanterns for new cost effective updates. Hardie Street Lighting is helping to meet the ever increasing demands of light pollution from residents, whilst cutting installation and maintenance costs and dramatically reducing the lifetime costs.
Hardie Street Lighting is dedicated to changing the landscape of street lighting.

More than just a column
Hardie Columns can reduce installation costs through our innovative use of aluminium and patented extrusion technology. Our unique design incorporates a custom made, anodized extrusion that’s incredibly strong and light. Comparable aluminium that is used in the North Sea is still showing no structural degradation after 35 years. Our street light columns are designed to last beyond a generation.
In the past, aluminium was thought to be prohibitively expensive; with our volume manufacturing this is not the case. We can demonstrate installation cost savings of up to 75%. Due to their lightweight characteristics, our columns can be installed by a team of two men and a light weight vehicle (average column weight 6 – 12 kilos; well under the weight directive for manual handling operations regulations 1992) allowing one man to lift a column.
Traditionally, teams of between 5 – 10 men with mobile cranes were required to lift and place the steel columns, and the organisation and disruption required to provide access (traffic road management) to either install or replace existing lights has been made a thing of the past.
