Streatham High Road is famous for being the longest high street in the United Kingdom. Architectural lighting has now been used to create a greater sense of place and community for local businesses, and breathe new life into the area.

0 The ‘Streatham wide’ lighting concept uses a Pharos LPC, giving building owners independent control of the lighting on a daily basis, and also allowing Lambeth Council override access during special events to coordinate the entire street
- Each building was approached uniquely in design and bespoke details were made to make the lighting both effective and discreet
The system is linked to a calendar that has been created in partnership with the many communities of Streatham, so that the business owners can choose to synchronise for holidays and special events
Philips ColorKinetics fixtures have been used throughout the five buildings included in the first phase of the project, and the expectation is that the surrounding buildings, businesses and community groups will join the initiative in the future
