Leading the Way in Heritage Lanterns

At Pudsey Diamond, we take pride in our ability to lead the heritage street lighting industry with innovative designs that honour the past, while embracing the latest in energy-efficient technology. Our expertly crafted lanterns and columns not only enhance the visual appeal of historic town centres, conservation areas and urban landscapes but also contribute to a more sustainable future.

With decades of experience, our mission is to preserve the timeless beauty of traditional lighting while ensuring our solutions meet the demands of modern urban environments.

A Commitment to Historical Authenticity and Modern Innovation

Historical towns and cities have an unmistakable charm defined by their architectural heritage. At Pudsey Diamond, we understand the importance of maintaining this charm while also addressing modern requirements such as reductions in energy and maintenance costs. Our approach integrates the aesthetics of traditional streetlights, the iconic gas and early electric lanterns, with up-to-date LED technology. This fusion of old and new ensures that every installation not only looks authentic but also benefits from the efficiency and durability of modern lighting systems.

We believe that every heritage project tells a story and our designs are created to be a seamless part of that narrative. By combining craftsmanship with innovative technology, we ensure that each lantern and column preserves the essence of historical design while offering superior performance. This delicate balance is at the heart of our philosophy.

Heritage Columns: Strength and Style in Urban Design

At Pudsey Diamond, our commitment to heritage lighting extends beyond lanterns. We also provide heritage columns that seamlessly blend strength with traditional elegance. Designed for historically significant environments, such as conservation areas, parks and residential neighbourhoods, these columns enhance the authenticity of urban landscapes.

Our heritage column range includes:

• Straight Tubular Heritage Columns: Simple yet stylish, these columns can be enhanced with decorative embellishments to maintain a classic appearance.
• Heritage Mid-Hinged Columns: These innovative columns offer ease of maintenance while retaining a traditional design, making them a popular choice for urban planners.

By offering such a diverse range, Pudsey Diamond ensures that every project receives a lighting solution that is both structurally sound and visually striking.

Retrofit Solutions: Modernising Without Compromising Heritage

As cities evolve, the need to update ageing lighting infrastructure becomes essential. Pudsey Diamond’s led retrofit solutions are specifically designed to upgrade outdated systems while preserving the heritage appeal of urban landscapes. By replacing inefficient, legacy light sources with high-performance LED technology, we offer a cost-effective way to modernise street lighting without detracting from the historical character of the area.

The Benefits of Our Retrofit Solutions

• Sustainability and Energy Savings: Retrofitting with LED technology significantly reduces energy consumption, leading to lower operational costs and a reduced carbon footprint. This eco-friendly approach aligns with the increasing emphasis on sustainable urban development.
• Enhanced Performance: Our retrofit solutions not only offer energy efficiency but also provide superior light quality. The improved performance ensures that historic areas are suitably lit, while enhancing visual appeal during nighttime hours.
• Preservation of Heritage: The beauty of our retrofit approach is that it maintains the historical integrity of the original design. Our systems are engineered to seamlessly integrate with existing heritage fixtures, ensuring that modernisation does not come at the expense of character or authenticity.

Trusted by local authorities and heritage organisations, our retrofit services are an ideal choice to balance modern needs with historical preservation.
