Street lights are important for ensuring road safety at night. We use the most up-to-date technology to give you a high standard of visibility. We also provide festive and decorative lighting. This includes lights for 23 Christmas trees and floodlighting of public buildings.

If there is a problem with a street light where you live, we want to hear from you.

Street light maintenance

To reduce the number of problems that arise, we carry out regular maintenance as follows:

• Continuous nightly inspections ensure that all of Dublin's 45,000 street lights are inspected every two weeks. Any defective lights are then repaired.
• Every 3 years we replace all lamps in our street lights in order to reduce failures and maintain light output.
