Moloto Road

We are proud to have supplied the LED streetlighting solution for a part of the newly upgraded Moloto Road in South Africa.

The Moloto Road Rehabilitation Project is the upgrade of the R573, a regional route in South Africa which stretches over 160km, connecting Pretoria to Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces. The road was dubbed “Moloto Road” as it passes through Moloto, located at the Gauteng-Mpumalanga border.

The notorious Moloto Road is considered to be one of the country’s most dangerous roads, prompting this highly necessary upgrade. The project included widening the road into two lanes, the erection of concrete barriers separating the opposing lanes to prevent overtaking and conversion of intersections into roundabouts to ease traffic flow. Cattle-creeps have been constructed, ensuring a safe passage for livestock, removing them from the actual road. The issue of poor visibility attributed to the high number of pedestrians hit on the road has been addressed with the erection of highmast lighting and streetlighting.

We are Africa’s leading manufacturer of luminaires and have supplied the lighting solution for Moloto Road from Slovo to Siyabuswa. The luminaires have been designed and manufactured in South Africa, taking the continent’s harsh environmental conditions into account.

Highmast Lighting Solution

Our high-performance LED floodlights have been installed on highmasts, illuminating traffic circles. Refer here to our floodlight range.

Our floodlight range has been designed to provide an unrivalled combination of performance and flexibility for lighting areas where high lumen packages are needed while offering maximum savings in energy and maintenance costs with a short payback time. The luminaires provide the light distribution and lumen package needed to meet the specifications of the area to be lit.

Optimal lighting is guaranteed to ensure safety and comfort. It offers a real alternative to luminaires equipped with traditional sources, with the added advantages of an LED solution: low energy consumption, improved visibility with white light, limited maintenance, and longer life.
