We work with a number of key transport and logistics customers who have adopted our products due to their quick installation, zero carbon emissions, zero noise and overall ease of use. Our permanent lighting installations and our temporary lighting and power solutions are widely used across the industry.

Airports, ports, logistics and storage hubs have various challenges, including environmental concerns, rising fuel costs, and the need for sustainable solutions. As the first-to-market solar expert we offer innovative solutions that help overcome these challenges and drive positive change in the transport and logistics sectors.

Reliable lighting

The need for reliable and cost-effective lighting solutions for high traffic areas, depots, warehouses, and loading areas is another challenge to overcome. Traditional grid-powered lighting systems can be costly to install and maintain, especially in remote or off-grid locations.

Our permanent and temporary solar powered lighting solutions offer a cost-effective and sustainable alternative. By utilising solar energy, our lighting systems provide reliable light without the need for grid connectivity, reducing the initial hassle and cost of installations and reducing the ongoing costs.

An additional benefit of our solar street lights is that they are protected against power cuts. As the UK electrical grid faces increasing demand from EV charging and a reduction in the use of gas, minimising the reliance on on-grid energy is a positive move that many large commercial estates are taking.

Reducing costs

With large sites such as those within the transport and logistics sectors, the cost of lighting these spaces for 12-16 hours a day can be extremely expensive. Lighting is fundamentally necessary for safety of those traveling around the site and commonly required for operatives to work throughout the night.

Transitioning to solar powered lighting provides significant cost reductions in both cost of powering each light as well as fixing cabling issues when they arise. Moreover, replacing whole units at the end of their lifespan can be expensive.

Our solar lighting solutions remove the need to worry about all of these costs and frustrations when things go wrong, and each of the components of our lights are easily replaceable, removing the need for replacing whole units, saving you money and reducing the embodied carbon cost.

Reducing emissions

One of the primary challenges facing the transport and logistics sectors is the environmental impact of their operations. Traditional diesel powered equipment contributes to air pollution and carbon emissions, exacerbating climate change and impacting on the health of those around the facilities.

Most large businesses in the transport and logistics sectors have set out a Net-Zero plan and will need to transition away from diesel generators and diesel temporary lighting towers.

Services

Lighting design

Our experienced team will work with your site plans and create a lighting design that is both compliant with British standards and works in line with your site requirements.

Installation

We install our columns, solar panels and lights providing you with a single point of contact responsible for your external lighting installation. Our team are highly experienced in installing solar street lights and have all passed background checks required for working on security sensitive sites such as MOD and Prisons.

Consultation

We can visit your site to provide free consultation and recommendation on how best to go about your project lighting. Whether it’s a new installation or replacement of existing on-grid lighting, our experienced account managers will work with you to find the right solution for your site.

Onboarding and setup

Whether a permanent or temporary solution your dedicated account manager will support you with the setup and configuration of your units to your precise specification.

Why our lights are the best option for the transport and logistics sectors

Our permanent lights are like no other. We were the first to launch permanent solar-only street lights in the UK and have continued to innovate and improve our products to ensure they work all year round, providing consistent and dependable light, even in the depths of winter.

Innovation

Our solar street lights automatically switch on at dusk ensuring the lit area has safe ambient lighting. When the PIR sensor is triggered, the light mode switches ensuring that when needed, the area has maximum light levels.

Greater Motion Detection

We are the first UK solar street light manufacturer to offer a 3-PIR sensor solution, rather than a 1-PIR sensor. This means that our lights recognise a wider range of motion on your site.

Customisable

We can offer different modes of operation dependent on your site requirements and virtually all of the settings are customisable for your needs.

Sustainability is at the very heart of our business. Unlike other manufacturers who are only just starting to, we’ve been reducing customers carbon emissions since our inception, that’s why so many businesses trust us to reduce their carbon emissions, save them money and remove the hassle of traditional lighting, whether temporary or permanent.

What our clients
have to say

The JV welcomed the opportunity to participate in the trial of this new sustainable power solution, confirming it as a viable and more sustainable alternative to traditional generators, and look forward to working with Prolectric again in the future.

Jon Muff
Project Manager at Balfour Beatty

The great thing about Prolectric’ s ProLights is that we haven’t had to touch them since they were delivered. If we wanted to change the settings we simply called Prolectric and adjusted the settings using their portal. It made sense for us to use our site resources elsewhere and let Prolectric manage the lights for us and ensure we get optimal usage from them.

Eric Milne
Senior Works Manager, Skanska

Environmental protection is at the heart of this project, working through the heart of the Lake District National Park, this is one of the biggest and most environmentally challenging projects in United Utilities’ history and it is vital that we minimise the impact of the work. The ProLight is a great example of some of the innovative thinking the team has employed.

John Hilton
Project Director

We frequently need to maintain screens, set up temporary defences, apply temporary structures, or operate gates and sluices in an emergency situation during the hours of darkness. The beauty of the technology is that it is activated only as-needed by PIR motion sensors and without the fumes or noise nuisance from a diesel generator tower light. The ProTemp light is easy to position using a fork lift for temporary defences. We also have the option to transfer the lighting unit to a permanent post and provide a permanent installation.

Neil Lote
Delivery Lead

There are currently in excess of 30 units now located at HPA. They work very well in their chosen locations and are proving to be robust in what can sometimes be a very harsh and extreme environment. Once set up and thus far, they appear to be near self-sufficient with next to no maintenance required.
