CU Phosco, in partnership with Mway Comms, has successfully upgraded the
lighting along the M49 link road, replacing outdated SON lighting with advanced
P862 LED luminaires. This project, initiated by National Highways, is part of a £126m
Nationwide Project aimed at significantly improving energy efficiency, safety, and
greatly decreasing the CO2 footprint of the road lighting in accordance with the
current National Highways drive lower CO2 emissions.

Unique in that it is only accessible from other motorways, the M49 motorway is a
critical route in England, linking the M4 (J22) with the M5 (J18A). Constructed
alongside the Prince of Wales Bridge in 1996, the M49 provides essential
connectivity for motorists between the outskirts of Avonmouth and South Wales. Due
to its importance in facilitating regional travel, National Highways sought to
modernise the road's lighting to reduce maintenance costs and improve energy
efficiency.

In 2019, National Highways Area 1/2 engaged CU Phosco to design a
comprehensive lighting solution for the M49 link road. This project, spanning the 5-
mile stretch between the M4 and M5, aimed to replace ageing SON lighting with
modern, energy-efficient alternatives. Although delayed due to cable infrastructure
challenges, the lighting redesign was completed in 2023, allowing CU Phosco to
partner with Mway Comms for installation.

CU Phosco worked closely with National Highways and Mway Comms to deliver a
solution to optimise safety and efficiency along the M49. A total of 255 P862 LED
luminaires with ANSI Nema sockets to accommodate the Lucy Zodion CMS were
installed, replacing the outdated SON stock. The P862 luminaire, known for its
superior optical performance and thermal management, was chosen for its ability to
meet National Highways' strict specifications and supplied, including safety Tether
kits.

The P862's dark sky certification ensures minimal light pollution, while its lightweight
design and low wind profile made it ideal for installation on existing lighting columns.
This project utilised various outputs and bespoke hybrid optics to complement its
future-proof design, offering an optimal balance of efficiency, longevity, and
performance.

The new LED lighting system significantly enhanced visibility and safety along the
M49 while also delivering substantial energy savings, helping to align with National
Highways' sustainability goals.

Additionally, the P862's design reduces the need for frequent maintenance, further
cutting operational costs. This modernisation effort not only improves the driving
experience for road users but also supports National Highways' long-term objectives
of reducing carbon emissions and enhancing road safety.

Stuart Griffin, Contracts Manager, Mway Comms comments, “Mway Comms and CU
Phosco have worked closely to deliver this lighting scheme. Early supplier involvement ensured that all lanterns were delivered in advance of the planned install date to allow for detailed planning to be undertaken, in what has turned out to be a very busy section of the national motorway system. Other major projects in the vicinity, that were utilising the M49 as part of their diversion route restricted the access for installation, but with all 350 lanterns available from the start, works could be rescheduled at short notice to minimise time lost to cancelled road space.

A successful project and I look forward to working with CU Phosco again in the near
future on similar schemes.”

TRILUX has unveiled Osido, a new outdoor wall light range that delivers
harmonised aesthetics, intelligent technology, and enhanced sustainability for building
surrounds. The series launches with four shapes—square, rectangular, round, and oval—offering a consistent design language across different outdoor applications.

Developed with flexibility and ease of installation in mind, Osido features an innovative one-person
mounting system, a face illumination module for improved safety, and a specially angled indirect
light component that directs illumination onto façades, reducing scattered light in the upper half-
space and enhancing architectural staging. Available since February 2025, the range will soon
expand to include bollards, spotlights, and ceiling luminaires.

A Cohesive Lighting Concept for Building Surrounds

Exterior façades, staircases, pathways, and entrance areas often require different lighting
approaches, leading to inconsistent visual designs. Osido eliminates this challenge with a
coordinated family of luminaires, ensuring a harmonised appearance while maintaining exceptional
lighting performance. The series also integrates seamlessly into indoor spaces, providing design
continuity across entire buildings.

The Osido wall lights boast a modern, minimalist aesthetic, featuring gently rounded edges and a
high-quality die-cast aluminium housing with no visible screws. Standard finishes include elegant
anthracite, with custom colour options available on request.

Innovative Installation – Quick, Secure, and Tool-Free

A standout feature of Osido is its newly developed Plug & Play installation system, enabling fast,
one-person mounting. A larger cavity behind the mounting plate allows easy cable routing, while a
fixed plug connector ensures a secure electrical connection. Thanks to an automatic safety catch,
the luminaire housing attaches to the mounting plate without tools, providing tamper resistance and
theft protection.

Versatile Optics for Every Lighting Requirement

Osido offers a diverse selection of MLT optics, allowing the luminaires to meet both functional and
decorative lighting needs. Options include:
 Direct and direct/indirect distribution for different lighting effects
 Narrow or wide beam angles for targeted illumination
 Asymmetrical light distribution for pathway lighting
 A face illumination module directs soft lighting towards pedestrians, improving visibility and
enhancing perceived safety in outdoor spaces.

With luminous flux packages ranging from 500 to 4,000 lumens and three light colour temperatures
(2,700K, 3,000K, 4,000K), the range provides complete design flexibility.

Sustainability Meets Smart Technology

Osido combines high energy efficiency (≥ 143 lm/W) with a long service life of 50,000 hours,
reinforcing TRILUX's commitment to sustainable lighting solutions. A unique 6° angled indirect light component ensures precise façade illumination, reducing spill light and enhancing architectural
integration.

For further energy savings and automation, the luminaires can be equipped with smart control
options, including:
 Switchable (ET), dimmable (ETDD), and Casambi (ETBLE+CAS) variants
 An emergency lighting version with a monitoring module
 Full integration with TRILUX LiveLink light management system for networked control and
automation

With Osido, TRILUX delivers a future-proof lighting solution that merges design, smart control, and
sustainability, setting a new benchmark for exterior lighting.
