Wall and ceiling

To encourage more people to walk or cycle to work or school, we need to ensure the safety of our underpasses and walk-throughs. With the nights drawing in, these pathways can feel intimidating, especially if poorly lit. Quality lighting transforms dark, isolated spaces into safer, more welcoming environments.

Why good lighting matters in underpasses and walk-throughs

silhouette of women in dark underpass

Underpasses and subways are often linked to concerns about safety and crime. Effective lighting not only enhances visibility but also reduces the fear of crime. It can help pedestrians feel more secure by providing clear sightlines and eliminating hidden areas where potential threats might lurk.

In the UK, lighting in public spaces like underpasses should meet standards such as BS 5489-1:2013, which specifies light levels to ensure safety at different times of the day. With many underpasses operating 24/7, it’s important to install energy-efficient, low-maintenance lighting solutions that can withstand environmental challenges and resist vandalism.

 

The ideal lighting solution for high-risk areas

Our vandal-resistant wall lighting provides the ideal solution for areas like underpasses, subways, under bridges, and stairwells. Designed with durability and security in mind, these lights are built to endure both harsh weather and attempted vandalism, ensuring long-lasting performance without frequent maintenance.

 

Key benefits of our wall and ceiling mounted lighting:

  • Robust design: Built with vandal-proof materials and IK10++-rated protection, our lighting is designed to withstand impact and tampering
  • Energy-efficient LEDs: Our high-performance LED solutions offer efficient, reliable lighting with minimal energy consumption, ideal for 24-hour operation
  • Low maintenance: With IP65-rated waterproofing and the option for graffiti-resistant coatings, these lights are made to last, reducing the need for frequent upkeep

Creating safer, well-lit spaces for all

Whether it’s enhancing visibility in isolated areas or ensuring compliance with safety standards, our lighting solutions provide peace of mind for pedestrians and cyclists alike. By improving the lighting in your underpasses, you can create a safer, more secure environment that encourages people to walk and cycle more frequently.

Our story

When The Light Went On

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

Working from any nook and cranny we could find

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.

The products sold should, where possible be manufactured here in the UK

Working from a rented office by day and assembling lanterns in a garage at night, Tim and Hatty set to work.

11 Years later

and a lot has changed

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.

We've built a reputation to be proud of

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

Creating work to be proud of

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.

Market leading warranty

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.

Tight Control on Quality

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 is key

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

Quality by design

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
