About Us

CU Phosco Lighting is the largest UK designer and manufacturer of exterior lighting equipment.

CU Phosco Lighting (formerly known as Concrete Utilities) is the longest established and premier exterior lighting group in the UK. We design and manufacture exterior lighting luminaires, floodlights, lighting columns and masts. Our lighting columns and masts range from 3 metres to 60 metres in height and can be seen on roads, motorways, at airports and ports, in shopping centres, housing estates and sports stadiums throughout the world.

We have, since 1923, led the exterior lighting market here in the UK and worldwide. From our head office in Hertfordshire we offer our customers a comprehensive package, from the initial consultation to the design and the final colour presentation of a CAD lighting scheme, through manufacture of luminaires and floodlights to delivery and installation.

As we grow, so do the choices for our customers. Our range of products; High Masts, Tubular, Octagonal, Tapered, Aluminium, Mid and Based Hinged columns are manufactured at our factories in Gloucestershire and Yorkshire. All factories are accredited by BSI against Quality Management System ISO 9001 and Environmental Management System ISO 14001.

Our lighting programme "Lighting Reality" offers our customers a simple and efficient method of utilising the comprehensive range of exterior luminaires, floodlights, amenity and period lanterns that are continuously being developed and tested at our Photometry Laboratory. Throughout the world, we have supplied and installed Columns, High Masts and exterior lighting systems for all markets including Sports Stadiums, Airports, Ports, and Roads and more recently for the expanding market in Telecommunications.

As a company, we look after our customers from initial consultation through to installation, final commissioning and follow up maintenance. Our dedicated Contract Services Division is able to manage your projects in the UK, Europe and Worldwide. To achieve this we recognise the need to build honest relationships with our customers, to offer products at fair prices and importantly to stand by our customers on the use, maintenance and eventually replacement of our equipment. This all adds up to a level of support which is unparalleled in the lighting industry.

To be confident in providing the quality and support our customers enjoy, we manufacture products that meet the customer's technical performance and which are also appropriate for the environment into which they will be placed. Sometimes these aims are contradictory and it is then where the knowledge and experience of our staff is called upon by customers to ensure the best compromise of performance and durability is achieved.
