We are proud to announce the launch of a new state-of-the-art, twin-amber hazard warning light designed specifically to enhance safety around school environments.
As children across the UK return to school, research from leading road safety charity, Brake, highlights that as many as 64% of schools do not have 20mph speed limits on all roads nearby, leaving many parents too afraid to walk their children to school because of busy, fast-moving traffic.
In response to these concerns, we are proud to introduce the aGlow Road Safety Light – a twin-amber IoT hazard warning light designed to meet TSRGD standards and enhance safety around schools. With its durable, vandal-resistant design and smart-control options, aGlow provides a reliable visual signal to alert drivers and protect vulnerable road users.
Reducing speed around schools is critical; a crash at 30mph has twice the kinetic energy of one at 20mph. aGlow’s bright amber lights serve as a clear reminder for drivers to slow down and stay alert, helping to prevent accidents before they happen.
The aGlow Road Safety Light is engineered with a vandal-resistant design and features a slim profile housing two 48-LED clusters. The device’s construction includes a 5mm black ABS body and a 4mm UV-stabilised lens, ensuring long-lasting durability and resistance to environmental damage.
Equipped with a highly accurate Real-Time Clock (RTC) and advanced calendar and CRON scheduling, the aGlow Road Safety Light offers precise control over lighting schedules. Its low power consumption, <5W, ensures energy efficiency whether powered by solar panels or mains electricity.
aGlow also incorporates secure two-factor user authentication and authorisation, making it one of the safest options for public safety lighting. It supports various control methods, including a key-operated activation via Bluetooth App and the SimpleSwitch Wand option, providing users with flexible and secure control options.
A standout feature of the aGlow Road Safety Light is its IoT connectivity, enabling real-time fault monitoring, event logging, and smart control through MQTT, REST, and SMS integration. The device supports multiple communication protocols, including NFC, Bluetooth, 4/5G LTE, and NB-IoT, ensuring seamless connectivity for monitoring and management. It also features GPS/GLONASS/QZSS/Galileo/L1 location services and is equipped with a high-performance antenna that supports various IoT standards.
Designed for ease of installation, the aGlow light can be pole-mounted (with poles sold separately) and offers convenient access through a hinged front panel with anti-vandal fixings
The aGlow Road Safety Light is certified under Elexon Unmetered CMS and meets rigorous standards for safety and performance, including IK10 and IP65 ratings, ensuring it withstands harsh outdoor conditions.
Our story
The idea for Acrospire was formed in 2012 when founder Tim envisioned a different kind of lighting manufacturer: one that would not only deliver outstanding customer experiences but also prioritise fair treatment for its employees.
We’ve come a long way
Motivated by the belief the industry wanted and needed better, Tim shared his plan to establish his own venture with Hatty, who simply couldn't let him do it alone.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Protecting local jobs and ensuring the best quality possible.
Working from a rented office by day and assembling lanterns in a garage at night, Tim and Hatty set to work.
11 Years later
Acrospire now inhabits a 14000² ft manufacturing facility in Basingstoke, Hampshire. We’re a proud partner of the Made in Britain scheme, ISO9001 certified and a member of all relevant lighting industry trade bodies.
Along with great relationships with our customers and a great team! We've attracted some of the most experienced members of the lighting industry, all by following one golden rule.
A simple ethos
That runs through all that we do. Customers who have made the switch to Acrospire have found working with us to be a breath of fresh air.
If you’re a professional in the lighting industry, you’re probably familiar with warranties that range from 3 to 10 years, with extensions available on special request or at additional cost. At Acrospire, where we’re proud to be different, we offer a market-leading simple 12-year warranty, as standard.
We focus on our customers not our competition. We manufacture our products in the UK: with the exception of our solar products, our supply chain is within a 60-mile radius of our factory in Basingstoke: to maintain greater control over quality. We al
