Lighting the way around Swansea Bay

Written by kirsty

The Mumbles, Swansea is now brighter, safer, and more sustainable thanks to a new lighting installation designed to withstand the harsh coastal environment while preserving the area’s natural beauty.

Coastal locations pose unique challenges including corrosion from salty air, high wind exposure, and the need for durability in a heavily trafficked area.

To resolve these issues, City & County of Swansea Council selected over 300 of TRT Lighting’s Via bollards, featuring:

• 3000K warm light for safety & visibility
• IK10 & IP66 ratings for impact & weather resistance
• LM6-grade aluminium & double paint coat thickness for corrosion protection
• Energy-efficient operation at just £15 per year per bollard
• Aesthetically matched to existing street furniture

Swansea Bay is now more inviting for walkers, cyclists, and families, encouraging greater use of this scenic public space.
