Case Study: Solar Powered Street Lights

Looking at two installations, one specified for the UK, the second for Nigeria but equally relevant to most developing contries.

Solar Lights in Lagos

With over 20 years experience of working
with solar technology in the UK, Bright Light
Solar Ltd has developed a range of high
quality and reliable solar street lighting
systems.

Solar street lighting systems are designed to operate as one integrated system. This system includes the power generation, storage and management (solar panels, battery & controller) as well as the light itself, support frame & weatherproof housing.

All our solar street lights can be configured to turn on and off using a wide range of options between dusk and dawn. The controller automatically adapts to the changing length of day through the year, to ensure the light switches on and off at the correct times.

We offer a range of lighting options - from smaller security/street lights using compact fluorescent lighting to systems with greater light output that use low-pressure sodium lighting technology (SOX-E). SOX-E is widely recognised as the most effective and efficient technology available to produce high intensity lighting using solar power. All systems are designed to attach to the top of a lighting pole or side of a building. Due to dimensions, lighting poles are usually purchased locally but are also available for purchase - please ask for details.
