Electrical Testing Ltd covers the street lighting network across the United Kingdom. Assessing in excess of 500,000 street lights annually. Approving their use for the erection of attachments such as hanging baskets, ensuring compliance to a BS EN40 design.

To determine if your lighting columns can withstand the additional load of a hanging basket it is recommended that you complete a structural test with a design demonstrating compliance to BSEN40. In conjunction with our patented dipstik® structural assessment, a detailed calculation is completed so that it is possible to identify a columns’ strength. Thus averting the potential for catastrophic collapse due to column overload.
