Key Benefits

  • Exceptional Daylight illumination
  • Longer visibility distances for drivers
  • Enhanced pedestrian safety
  • Enhanced complicity
  • Automatic dimming
  • Easily retro-fitted without civil/excavation work
  • Long life Low energy LED design
  • Quick & easy maintenance access

Product options

  • Midpost version
  • Retro-fit post runners
  • Synchronisation module upgrade option:
  • – Synchronised (both units on or off at the same time)
  • – Alternating (1 unit on while other is off and vice versa as they cycle)
  • Directionally adjustable viewing angle
  • 2 /3 or 4 super bright LED white bands
  • Synchronising radio link
  • Steel or passive aluminium poles available for supply or install

The new DayBright range of retro-fit LED products were designed to give drivers enhanced visibility of pedestrian zebra crossings. DayBright is the only current product in today’s market that when fitted to existing pedestrian crossing posts, gives 24-hour high performance illumination in all conditions, especially very bright sunlight.

The DayBright head and runners have a directionally adjustable viewing angle and are available in kit form so they can be retrofitted to any standard or illuminated zebra crossing post in less than 1 hour, without the need for any civils work.

Should you need to install a belisha beacon on an existing lighting column DayBright also comes in a clamp–on Midpost version and can still benefit from the lit vertical bands if required.

Applications for innovative retrofit Belisha Beacon Pedestrian Crossing lighting

The flexibility and versatility of this next-gen pedestrian crossing beacon make it suited to a large number of environments and settings where highway managers and safety professionals need to find effective ways to reduce the risks of collisions and accidents.

Crossings outside controlled zones: Zebra crossings fitted with beacon lighting are found throughout numerous urban, commercial and industrial environments. They provide additional awareness that school children, older adults, vulnerable people, or construction and highway workers may be crossing a busy or high-speed roadway.

Pedestrian crossings with unacceptably high incidents: The natural geography of some road networks can mean conventional lighting is ineffective, resulting in high instances of potentially preventable collisions, making additional lighting essential.

Worker Access Points: During roadworks, construction, and developments, the introduction of crossings to safeguard personnel often creates confusion. Drivers may not expect a change in the road layout, and additional safety is paramount when crossings traverse dual carriageways or high-usage A-roads.

Restricted Entry and Industrial Facilities: Loading docks, portside warehouses, industrial parks and environments with overhead cranes or frequent HGVs and moving equipment require advanced lighting to ensure pedestrian crossings are protected and illuminations visible from higher driver positions.

The rotating halo’s flexible installation functionality enables site supervisors or planners to adjust the illumination angle on either side for optimal visibility and to ensure maximum stopping time for approaching vehicles.

Cost-efficient Zebra Crossing enhancements 

We know that many cities, boroughs, and urban councils have tightly restricted budgets for upgrading roadway infrastructure. Due to budgetary constraints, these regions may have ageing zebra crossing infrastructure assets. A retrofitted solution is an ideal opportunity to improve safety for all road users without cost pressures.

Retrofitting the DayBright PLUS Belisha Beacon takes less than one hour. It offers the option of installing lighting heads and runners with adjustable viewing angles, supplied in a convenient ready-to-deploy kit without engineering work required.

TWM can also supply clamp-on mid-post model versions to enable local authorities to fit the DayBright into existing lighting columns without compromising on the safety benefits of the illuminated vertical bands.

DayBright Plus Belisha Beacon

Lighting the way

The DayBright PLUS Belisha Beacon incorporates the latest LED technology and can be retrofitted to existing lighting infrastructure. It adds to the value and safe usage of pedestrian crossings around higher-speed roads, within elevated-risk settings such as outside schools or care centres, and at accident blackspots.

Lighting is a crucial element for crossings of every kind. It ensures drivers have ample notice and time to slow down, pedestrians have adequate visibility to cross roads safely, and additional lighting is provided in darker evenings or overcast weather.

Fitted with 24-hour high-performing illuminations that are visible even against the glare of bright sunlight, this Belisha beacon light can be integrated quickly and easily with existing pedestrian crossing posts, negating delays or unnecessary installation costs.

Frequently asked questions


What are the UK Regulations around the installation of Belisha beacons at Zebra Crossings?

All designated zebra crossings must be fitted with vertical Belisha beacons alongside zebra roadway markings to determine priority and right of way for pedestrians. These minimum requirements apply to standalone crossings without additional signals or controls.

Outdated Belisha beacons, upgraded pedestrian crossings, changes to zebra crossing status, or ineffective lighting may require replacement or adaptation to remain compliant.

Does lighting / signage improve zebra crossing safety?

Zebra crossings provide a right of way for pedestrians, using lighting to indicate that drivers should reduce their speed or give way. However, contrasts between interpretations of the highway code mean that a standardised crossing installation is not always effective.

Case studies have demonstrated the vital importance of high-visibility lighting, even in controlled speed areas and long-standing pedestrian crossings, showing that:

– Around 36% of accidents involving vehicles and pedestrians occur at crossings.
– Roads with speeds over 30 MPH result in a fatality risk eight times higher than those on slower highways.

Legislation heavily depends on driver responsiveness, with as few as 24% to 30% of drivers willing to prioritise pedestrians waiting to use a zebra crossing.

Therefore, the quality, visibility distance and performance of Belisha beacons may be paramount to protecting pedestrians, meeting safety standards and preventing accidents.
