Established in 1557, Sir John Deane's Sixth Form College is widely regarded as one of the best of its kind in the UK. It is a member of the prestigious Maple Group, consistently ranked in the top ten of A level results league tables, and has an impressive campus that includes a recent £28m development and its very own boathouse.

Situated in the heart of Cheshire, the college welcomes 1500 students from across the region and provides A level provision in nearly 40 subjects.

The college needed to improve existing external lighting throughout the campus, in particular in car parks, bus stops and public walkways. The lighting was outdated and giving off poor light levels, and this project provided the opportunity to switch from SON lamps to more energy efficient LED lighting.

After extensive research into sustainable LED street lighting with local electrical contractor Mike Thompson Electrical, the college approved the installation of ninety GEWISS’ Street [O3] fittings on pre-existing lamp posts.

Colin Lupton, Head of Estates at Sir John Deane’s College said ‘We are very satisfied with our new street lighting and in particular how quickly it was installed.’

The electrical contractor on this project, Mark Hassall from Mike Thompson Electrical said: ‘We found Street [O3] to be a high-quality, well-engineered solution. As well as its superior build quality and lighting levels, it was exceptionally simple & quick to install.’

‘We received fantastic customer service through the process. Edmundson Electrical Wholesalers in Winsford, with GEWISS, made the selection and buying process easy. This reflected well on us with our customer; and they were also reassured by the product’s 5 year warranty.’
