Electric Skyline announced it has finished upgrading and working on public lighting on the M7 in Portlaoise.

“In order to guarantee that the M7 has the greatest level of lighting safety and that the road is well-lit, a significant amount of work was done on this project. Our midlands project manager, Jason Horan, oversaw this project on behalf our client Egis Lagan,” the company stated in a social media post.  

“This was quite an extensive project that included the safe disconnection and removal of 33 high-masts. To guarantee the lights are as efficient as possible, our staff upgraded the high-masts with LEDs. 

Additionally, we installed 111 Lumistreet lights, which are built of high-quality materials for a longer lifespan and less maintenance. These lights are extremely efficient and economical, ensuring energy savings,” the company stated.

“Along with providing and installing 21 columns, our crew also fitted public lighting cabling to the new columns and connected them to the pre-existing public lighting system. 

We have to commend our incredible team for finishing this job over the course of several late nights, as it turned out extremely well,” the company concluded.
