Our products are designed to meet the demanding requirements of local authorities, highway maintenance contractors and infrastructure operators, with particular emphasis on ease of installation, long-term durability and minimal maintenance. Our Specialist Product Ranges Zebstar – LED Belisha Beacons The Zebstar range of LED Belisha beacons has been developed to provide excellent visibility, reliability and energy efficiency at pedestrian crossing locations. Designed and manufactured by Portland Traffic, the range combines advanced LED technology with robust, weather-resistant construction to deliver dependable performance in demanding highway environments. Zebstar Plus incorporates an innovative infrared control system, enabling the light output of its high-visibility LED arrays to be adjusted remotely without opening the beacon housing. This allows lighting levels to be optimised to suit individual site requirements while maintaining the integrity of the sealed unit, reducing maintenance time and minimising the need for intrusive adjustments. Hydra – Ultra-Low Energy LED Sign Light Hydra is Portland Traffic's purpose-designed LED traffic sign lighting solution, engineered to combine exceptional energy efficiency with straightforward installation and long-term reliability. Operating at just 1 watt, Hydra provides an extremely low-energy alternative to conventional sign lighting systems, helping highway authorities significantly reduce electricity consumption and operating costs. The unit features IP66-rated sealing for protection against dust and water ingress, together with a universal mounting bracket for installation flexibility. Hydra is also supplied pre-wired, allowing installation without dismantling the unit. This innovative approach simplifies installation, reduces time on site and preserves the integrity of the factory-sealed housing. Crossafe – Illuminated Pedestrian Crossing Posts Crossafe is an innovative illuminated pedestrian crossing post designed to improve crossing visibility and enhance road safety. Using energy-efficient LED technology, Crossafe provides effective illumination of the post's distinctive white band, improving its visibility to approaching motorists. A key feature of the Crossafe system is its magnetically operated brightness adjustment, which allows the illumination level of the white band to be adjusted without opening the unit. This provides a practical means of optimising visibility for different locations and lighting conditions while maintaining the integrity of the sealed housing. Sublux – LED Subway Lighting System Sublux is Portland Traffic's purpose-designed LED lighting system for pedestrian subways and underpasses. Developed to provide reliable, energy-efficient illumination in demanding public environments, Sublux combines robust construction with modern LED technology to improve pedestrian visibility and create safer, more welcoming spaces. Its durable, weather-resistant design and low-maintenance operation make it particularly suitable for local authorities seeking dependable lighting solutions with reduced long-term operating costs. Basemate – LED Bollard Lighting Unit Basemate is Portland Traffic's specialist LED lighting unit for illuminated traffic bollards. Designed to provide reliable, energy-efficient illumination, Basemate combines robust construction with practical engineering to support the demanding requirements of highway installations. Its efficient LED technology and durable sealed construction help reduce energy consumption and ongoing maintenance requirements, providing a cost-effective solution for highway authorities and maintenance contractors. Designed for Performance. Engineered for Reliability. At Portland Traffic, we believe that effective highway lighting should combine safety, efficiency and simplicity.
