We are thrilled to announce that Acrospire has been awarded the Sustainable Project of the Year at the 2025 HEA Awards for our recent LED handrail upgrade on the Millennium Bridge in Newport.
Designed by Grimshaw Architects and open to the public in 2006, the Millennium Bridge stands as an essential connection for pedestrians and cyclists, blending the city’s industrial heritage with modern architecture. Our project focused on upgrading the existing handrail lighting to enhance safety and improve energy efficiency.
In collaboration with Centregreat, we retrofitted 178 outdated 28W fluorescent tubes with energy-efficient 12W LED gear trays. This upgrade not only meets safety requirements but also achieves a remarkable 57% reduction in energy consumption.
The warm 3000K LEDs ensure a comfortable atmosphere while minimising light spill, helping to protect the local river habitat.
We would like to congratulate all worthy award-winners, nominees, and the HEA for another fantastic event, which is always a highlight in the industry calendar.

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.

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
Speed of response is crucial when it comes to resolving warranty issues. If we’ve made a mistake, we own it, get to the root cause, and fix it as quickly as possible. We believe in timely communication with our customers and making the resolution pro
Test and Test Again
We believe in independent testing and certification. Our new product development is in line with ISO 9001. Many of our products hold ENEC Certification. To meet the requirements of ENEC we also send random product samples for third party safety testi
Our product design is another key factor in our ability to offer a 12-year warranty. We value engineer rather than cost cut, never compromising on quality. We stick to our processes and engage with our supply chain to ensure that every product meets
