Solar lights are entirely off-grid and require no cables or trenches.
Our lights can be used on all unadopted roads, but not on adopted roads.
Adopted roads are looked after by councils and maintained accordingly. They also like to use a control system with all street lighting and have it on a set program. Due to the way our PIR’s work they are not effective enough to work on highways due to the speed of vehicles. By the time the car gets detected by the PIR, the light comes on after the car has passed the light.
The solar street lights are used across both small and large sites in both commercial and residential settings including housing estates, parks, car parks, seafronts, campuses, hospital estates and military bases.
Our AE6 provides coverage of up to 687m² at a level down to 0.4Lux. This measurement is on the ground and will be on the outer most edge of the light spread. It could be over 10 lux directly below the light but will dissipate the further you go from it. When a lighting design is created it overlaps with light spread from the other lights to give a uniformity.
2,500 cycles. However, this is not 2,500 days. Majority of the year (roughly 9 months), the lights do not go thru a full cycle every day. They are expected therefore to last between 4 – 7 years dependent the level and number of full discharges.
Yes, we have been installing lights in the UK since 2011 and we have developed the software and knowledge to ensure the lights work consistently up and down the UK.
The latest panel technology means that even on a cloudy day, power will still be generated. The battery has capacity for around 5 consecutive days of no solar yield, to cover even the worst periods of UK weather.
Yes, we’re able to offer you access to our Street Lighting portals. A master and then gateways are added to the panels including a sim card for connectivity. The portal will give access to each panel and light connected to the specific setup network. You can see battery soc, generation, lights on or off. You can also put the lights on a time schedule away from their usual UK settings
Yes, all of the settings are customisable. The lights will illuminate at dusk. The light intensity at both triggered and no triggered mode can be adjusted based on customer requirements. Additionally the lights can be set to turn off at a particular time if in a residential area.
