Case Studies
Falco recently installed a run of 7km of FalcoPathfinder solar powered cycle path lights along the River Lossie cycle path in Elgin!!! The cycle path offers a much safer alternative to the A96 in terms of cycling from nearby Lhanbryde into Elgin and the addition of the new demarcation lights offers a more pleasurable journey for night time commuters as well as increased safety and reassurance.
Parts of the route were already lit by street lighting from a nearby park and it was decided that there was merit in lighting the rest of the route to further encourage use of the cycle path for cyclists and pedestrians at night. Through the staggered positioning of the lights at 10, 20 and 40m intervals on opposite sides of the path, cyclists can clearly see the edges of the route and red LED lights highlight potential hazards such as junctions. Frost warning lights situated at the start of new sections of the route highlight the need to take additional care should the temperature dip below +2°C.
The FalcoPathfinder has also been recently installed at Queen's Park in Glasgow and Ridding Lane in London Borough of Ealing.
Falco has been a family company with its own production site for over 70 years. Sustainability was in our DNA from the very beginning and this is reflected within our complete range of modular cycle parking and shelter products, all designed with full circularity in mind.
All products ranges are contemporary and durable, typical of a Falco product. Falco has been at the forefront of the cycle parking and street furniture market and has built up a renowned reputation for manufacturing products that exceed in both design and durability.
Falco’s operations have supported the Circular Economy for many years, simply manufacturing products with environmentally friendly products, that can last for decades and at the end of the product life can be 100% recycled and manufactured back into a brand new product.
