The UK is a world leader in the design and introduction of innovative technology for safer roads. Charles Endirect is proud to have played a major role in creating this safer environment for road users by developing CELsafe, our ground-breaking range of passive safety systems. CELsafe has been used across the UK for some years and in demonstrations at the National Passive Safety Crash Demonstration Day it successfully showed compliance to BS EN 12767:2019.                                                           

Passive safety systems work differently to streetlight or lamppost cutouts which are triggered by a surge of electricity. Instead, they disconnect the electrical supply to the lighting column itself in the event of an impact.                                                          

CELsafe systems are designed for installation into all forms of street lighting equipment and include a quick-disconnection unit for lighting columns and signposts.                                                  

The range offers four configurations including Distribution Pillars and Standard Passive connection at the Lighting Column. Each option has several components that can be used to achieve the best solution. Drawings and schematics are available to help users select the correct product for their requirements.
