Tensile Design and Construct supplies catenary lighting systems – systems with lights suspended from overhead cables – that allow for the installation of attractive illumination without poles intruding into the space. In some cases, the cables can be connected to building faces or canopies. This type of set-up enables the space to be more fully available for the people using it.
A catenary system is not limited to any particular kind of light. It can include lamps, festoons, lanterns, or any other type of lighting arrangement. Catenary systems do not need to be limited to lights alone; they can include art pieces or decorative elements. While a lighting installation requires technical expertise and precision engineering, it can be designed to appear simple, cosy, artistic or free-flowing.
Catenary lighting can be used for shopping malls or strips, car parks, city laneways, parks, public squares or any other types of spaces where people might gather. Installing an overhead lighting system helps to encourage use of the space after dark and improves safety and security as well.
