This solar powered lighting system was specifically designed for community Cluster Box Unit (CBU) locations. The motion-based sensor provides optimal lighting when triggered by movement. Illumination continues for 2-3 minutes after activation, but will remain on while someone is present.
The solar-module, system-controller, motion-sensor, battery, and LED light-brick are all housed within the aesthetically-pleasing one-piece thermoformed casing. This provides great protection from vandalism and avoids the need for high-voltage wiring, conduits and metering.
- Complies with the objectives of the International Dark-sky Association (IDA)
- Available with In-Ground or Surface Mount Installation Posts
- Cost effective option to installation of high-voltage power lines; LED lights have a 10+ year life cycle
- Unintrusive lighting strength and position prevents aesthetic disruption
- Rust-resitant powder coated in three colors
