Crime and community

Philips Indal's range of lanterns offers the latest available light sources for community zones which deliver maximum impact together with the greatest economy

Research conducted during the 1990s demonstrated that criminals consider potential levels of security and location features, including escape routes and visibility, when assessing the risk of being caught. It is generally accepted that good quality lighting does have a positive impact on the rate of crime and this is enhanced by the use of white light (full spectrum) sources.

By providing superior colour rendering and enhanced uniformity, full spectrum light sources have a significant role to play, particularly when introduced into relatively poorly lit residential housing areas.
