St Canice’s Cathedral and Round Tower. Picture: eventco
St Canice’s Cathedral has been named the winner of the Religious & Spiritual Site Lighting Design category at the prestigious Lighting Design Awards.
Kilkenny County Council, in partnership with Eventco, has implemented a sustainable lighting strategy that is transforming Kilkenny City centre through the general enhancement and perception of the area at night and enlivening public spaces.
The strategy includes the provision of heritage style public lighting, the feature lighting of historic and cultural buildings and laneways to enhance safety, highlighting landmarks and encouraging light as an art form, and adding focus to the city centre, encouraging and enabling greater use of the city after dark.

One of the standout projects is the feature lighting of St Canice’s Cathedral and Round Tower. The scheme consisted of the replacement of the existing flood lighting with over 200 individual LED fixtures that accentuate the features of the cathedral and round tower during hours of darkness. Low level footpath lighting was also provided to replace the way finding light lost by the floodlight removal.
The scheme resulted in a reduction in energy consumption of nearly 70% with the removed lighting fixtures taken to a specialist electronics recycling centre.
