Where can Solar Street Lights be used?
Solar Street Lights can be used in a wide range of locations where reliable outdoor lighting is required without connecting to mains electricity. Typical applications include car parks, walkways, gated areas, bridle paths, cycle tracks, sports centres, entrances, estates and drop-off points.
Dragons Breath Solar powered walkway and car park lighting systems
Dragons Breath Solar supplies solar-powered lighting systems designed for locations across the UK where mains-powered lighting is unavailable, impractical or expensive to install.
The systems use high-performance LED lighting and solar energy storage to provide illumination without the need to trench and install underground mains cables.
Solar lighting can be particularly useful in areas where underground cables are vulnerable to damage from vermin or where extending mains electricity would require significant excavation. Solar-powered lighting can provide an alternative solution for suitable locations and can also be supplied for use with suitable existing lamp posts or columns.
The lighting system can be selected and configured according to the requirements of the location. Factors such as the area to be illuminated, required lighting level, operating hours, available daylight, lamp-post height and local conditions can all affect the specification of the equipment required.
Solar lighting systems can be configured to operate from dusk until dawn, with options including motion detection and programmable operating periods depending on the system selected.
Dragons Breath Solar supplies self-contained and multi-component solar lighting systems incorporating the equipment required to generate, store and use solar energy for lighting. Technical advice is available to help customers select equipment appropriate to their requirements.
Factors to consider when selecting a solar street lighting system
- The area requiring illumination
- The required lighting level and brightness
- How long the area needs to be illuminated each night
- The location and available daylight throughout the year
- The height and type of lamp post or column
- Whether an existing suitable column can be used
- The amount of solar generation and battery storage required
Solar lighting can reduce the need for mains electricity connections and underground cable installation. Once correctly specified and installed by the customer's chosen installer, the system can provide low-running-cost outdoor lighting using energy generated from the sun.
Benefits of Solar Street Lights
- Suitable for locations where mains electricity is unavailable or impractical.
- Solar-powered operation without a mains electricity connection.
- No requirement to trench underground mains cables for the lighting supply.
- Low ongoing energy costs because the lighting is powered by solar-generated electricity.
- LED lighting technology provides efficient illumination.
- Options for motion detection and programmable lighting operation.
- Suitable for a wide range of outdoor locations and applications.
- Solar and battery technology can provide lighting during hours of darkness.
- Suitable systems are available for new or existing suitable lamp posts and columns.
- Systems can be specified according to location, operating requirements and required illumination.
Sensor-operated systems can be configured so that lighting increases when movement is detected. Depending on the particular system, lighting can then return to a lower background level or switch off after the programmed period.
High-performance materials and weather-resistant components are used across the Dragons Breath Solar lighting range. Individual products have their own specifications, warranties and operating characteristics, so these should be checked when selecting a system for a particular application.
Dragons Breath Solar supplies solar-powered lighting equipment and provides technical advice. We do not provide installation services.
