| Finnieston Bridge, Glasgow |
Glasgow’s newest bridge, Finnieston Bridge at Pacific Quay, is lit up using LEDs from Dialight Lumidrives, the UK-based LED technology provider.
Carmichael Lighting Ltd used colour-changing LEDs, controlled by 40 Colourdriver 36 modules, to create a dramatic effect on the new 169-metre long road bridge across the River Clyde.
Gordon Routledge, managing director at Dialight Lumidrives says: “LEDs provide a superb lighting effect for the bridge. What’s more, the LED power consumption of the light arch is only 96 watts whereas lighting by traditional sources would require around 500W. LEDs are therefore extremely energy efficient, long lasting and require virtually no maintenance.”
The £20.3m Finnieston Bridge is a dramatic new landmark for Glasgow, featuring a central arch span which crosses the river at an angle between the roundabout at Broomielaw/Finnieston Street and the south side of the river.
The bridge accommodates four lanes; two dedicated to public transport and two for private and commercial traffic, with additional pedestrian and cyclist paths. It has a main span of 96 metres with two end spans of 36.5 metres.
Dialight Lumidrives is the illuminations division of Dialight Plc, one of the world’s largest suppliers in the field of applied LED technology.
