When Cookstown District Council, Northern Ireland were looking to regenerate their town centre, Woodhouse's Aubrilam lighting and street furniture combined with LEC architectural LED lighting were the ideal choice to integrate well with the surrounding trees and refurbished street lighting.

Aubrilam columns are extremely strong and robust, making them ideal for use in demanding situations and areas of high pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Manufactured from sustainably sourced glued and laminated engineered timber the installation enhances the appearance of the revitalized town centre area. The timber and steel elements of the Aubrilam Orlam are also easily maintained under heavy use or vandalism.

By working closely with The Paul Hogarth Company we were able to create an interesting LED lighting solution that met their vision and worked well alongside the surrounding urban landscape.

In addition to the lightstacks, 16 large bollards, four bins and two benches from the Aubrilam Orlam range were installed to an interrelated visual family of street furniture to further identify this area of Cookstown as a specific civic space.
