We’re thrilled to announce that we have been named a finalist in not one but two prestigious categories for the Electrical Contracting News (ECN) Awards 2024! Our innovative solar-powered MSL-50 modular lighting system has been shortlisted for both Lighting Product of the Year and Power Product of the Year. This recognition highlights our commitment to sustainable lighting solutions and MSL-50’s growing impact on public lighting infrastructure.
The MSL-50 is the result of our dedication to innovation in lighting. This modular solar-powered LED lighting system was designed with durability and efficiency in mind, making it ideal for shelters and canopies that lack mains power connection. The MSL-50 provides a “fit-and-forget” solution for urban lighting with a robust stainless steel construction, vandal-resistant, toughened glass lens, and a reliable solar-powered operation.
We’re already seeing its benefits at locations like Luton, where it enhances safety and energy efficiency without the need for grid dependency. Steven Lain, Service Manager, Bus Services & Operations, Luton Borough Council, remarked, “The solar lighting installation for this first tranche of bus shelters in Luton has worked really well. It not only provides safety and accessibility but also sets a precedent for sustainable development; we look forward to seeing the results applied to some of our larger bus shelters around the borough.”
Tim Baker, Managing Director of Acrospire, commented, “Our focus has always been on delivering practical, energy-saving solutions to meet the real needs of our clients. The MSL-50 embodies this mission, offering a reliable, sustainable lighting option for public spaces that need durable, low-maintenance lighting without a connection to the grid.”
The winners will be announced on 5th December 2024 at Coventry’s Heart of England Conference & Events Centre. It’s an honour to be recognised alongside other leaders in the electrical contracting industry, and we’re looking forward to an exciting evening.
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
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
