STREET LIGHTING DESIGN

More Than Just Illumination

Street lighting is more than just illumination—it’s about safety, compliance, community usability, and long-term sustainability. At Molloy Consulting Engineers, we focus on delivering technically precise, approval-ready lighting designs that integrate seamlessly with both public infrastructure and private developments.

We work with a wide range of clients

Housing developers
Planning consultants
Civil and electrical contractors
Local authorities
Transport infrastructure partners
UK-based design teams working on cross-border projects

What sets us apart is our ability to work fluently within planning and adoption frameworks, navigating local and national standards to ensure every design is compliant from the outset—saving time, cost, and rework down the line.

Council Specifications?
We Know Them Inside-Out.

Our team has not only worked with every County Council specification across Ireland—we’ve actually written and updated many of them on behalf of local authorities. This inside knowledge means we can confidently deliver lighting layouts that meet even the most specific regional technical requirements.

We also regularly deliver lighting schemes in line with UK Council protocols, including:

Section 38 & 278 agreements
Local authority adoption requirements
Collaboration with DMRB-led road design teams

Built on Standards, Delivered with Precision

Our designs are grounded in all current national and European standards, including:

EN 13201 – Road lighting performance criteria
BS 5489-1:2020 – Public lighting code of practice
BS EN 60598 – Luminaires and safety
BS 7671 – Wiring regulations
DMURS and TII Publications
Local development plans and energy-saving targets

End-to-End Technical Support

Every project includes:

Precise photometric calculations and uniformity analysis
CAD layouts, column schedules, cabling and load calcs
Design justification reports for planners and approving bodies
LED retrofitting advice, lifecycle costing, and carbon savings assessment
Responsive turnaround for design changes, audits, and resubmissions

Whether you’re submitting a planning package, preparing for a Section 38 handover, or designing a new junction layout—we deliver clear, compliant, and buildable street lighting designs that stand up to technical scrutiny and meet every deadline.
