Solar lighting applications - White paper

Parks

While most parks generally close at nightfall, some may extend their opening hours. Installing adequate lighting is crucial for parks, but it may not always be feasible due to the lack of access to electricity. This is where solar lighting systems can be of great assistance. If the park is accessible to visitors before sunrise, it would be beneficial to programme the solar powered lighting to come on a few hours before dawn. This will not only make it easier for early morning joggers to navigate the area, but will also improve their safety by increasing their visibility.

Bus stops Solar lighting provides a solution to poorly lit bus stops, improving overall safety for commuters. With impressive longevity and the ability to charge during the day, solar lighting is unlikely to fail when it is needed most at night. Dimming profiles can be programmed to adjust the level of the solar lights according to bus schedules. This means that the lights can be brighter during peak commuting times, such as early morning or evening, when visibility is most important for safety.
