Lighting the streets with city lighting was the core focus of William Sugg & Co. Ltd. in the company’s early days. As the need for city lights became more evident as villages grew into towns and towns grew into cities, William Sugg’s first lantern was produced that then that lit up streets all over the country. The ‘Windsor Lamp’ was designed specifically for use with the gas mantle rather than an open flame and was first used in the Royal Borough of Windsor on Thames. Over 100 years later, the Windsor Lamp is now recognised as a classic design and reproduced all over the world to create a smart and recognisable style. The William Sugg & Co. Ltd. team supply heritage city lighting for any street using both our original historic designs, and modern designs and technology alike.

Our team of experts create bespoke heritage street lighting designs using modern technology to suit your city lighting vision. Our priority is to create exceptionally crafted street lighting without losing the original classic feel that makes some of the smartest streets in the world so recognisable. Modern twists on the classics and bespoke designs are also becoming increasingly popular; talk to our team to find out more.

One of the key features of designing and producing lighting to be placed near the sea is that the lights need to sustain their durability in order to retain their quality for a long time. At William Sugg & Co. Ltd., we are renowned for providing seafront lighting that is made with the highest quality materials to help preserve each light for as long as possible.

One of our favourite seafront lighting projects that we are proud to have worked on is producing lighting for Brighton seafront. Designed in the Victorian era, our Brighton Column design is still used to light up Brighton today.

Street lighting is something that we all encounter, normally every day, but that is often taken for granted.  For many years our team have worked with Local Authorities, Councils, Contractors, Lighting Engineers and many other parties to design, manufacture and install safe, long lasting and quality street lighting solutions all over the UK and further beyond.

Street lights are primarily used to ensure safety for pedestrians and motorists as well as making streets and thoroughfares look ‘good’.  It is important that the quality of design and manufacture stands up to the highest of safety standards.  William Sugg & Co. Ltd. provide street lights, lanterns, street lamps, cast columns, column embellishments and all other services linked to getting the right street lighting solution for the location that looks right, and that will last.
