TRT Lighting Launches Heritage Lantern Range

Written by kirsty

TRT Lighting has expanded its outdoor lighting portfolio with the launch of its first dedicated heritage lantern range.

The move responds to increasing demand for lighting solutions that balance modern performance with traditional aesthetics, particularly across public realm and conservation-led schemes.

Across the UK, specifiers are delivering projects that combine functional road lighting with heritage-style luminaires within the same scheme, placing greater emphasis on consistency in both appearance and technical performance. Until now, that has typically meant working with multiple suppliers.

The new range offers a more streamlined approach, enabling both modern and heritage lighting to be specified from a single source.

The initial launch includes two of the most widely specified heritage forms: Heming, a traditional top-entry, cradle-mounted teardrop lantern, and Merse, a classic four-sided frog-mounted lantern. By focusing on these established styles, TRT Lighting is addressing the most common specification requirements while supporting a broad range of applications from day one.

Ross Evans, Managing Director at TRT Lighting, said:

“This is something our customers have been asking for. More and more projects now require a mix of modern road lighting and heritage-style luminaires, and until now, that’s been work we’ve had to turn away.

With the introduction of Heming and Merse, we can now deliver those schemes fully, giving specifiers a simpler, single-source solution across both functional and heritage applications.”

Designed to complement TRT’s existing road lighting ranges, including Aspect Gen2, the heritage lanterns combine classic styling with modern LED performance. The range offers colour temperature options including 2200K and 2700K, supporting schemes where reduced blue light and sensitive lighting design are key considerations.

Optical performance has been developed in line with current road lighting requirements, delivering efficient, controlled light distribution across applications from residential streets to heritage town centres.

As with TRT’s wider portfolio, the range is engineered for long-term performance, with a focus on durability, ease of maintenance and compatibility with modern control systems.

The launch reinforces TRT Lighting’s commitment to supporting specifiers, contractors and local authorities with practical solutions that meet the evolving demands of the built environment.
