Applications of Orca Solar Lighting’s Commercial Outdoor Solar Lighting
Commercial Solar street lights
Often a generic term for any overhead solar light, however the lighting industry tends to use the term ‘street light’ for smaller AS/NZS 1158 3.1 2020 P (Pedestrian) lighting for very small streets which tend to be 50km/hr or less. This tends to be small suburban streets or laneways. Commercial Solar street lighting is mission critical constant all night light with the necessary autonomy (battery back-up) to be reliable and to AS/NZS 4509.1 2009 Stand-alone power systems Safety and installation.
Solar path lights
Commercial grade solar lighting for shared pathways and bike-ways where. To comply with Australian and New Zealand pathway lighting standards, it is mandatory that the lights do not dim below the minimum lighting levels at any stage in the night. Therefore if adaptive lighting is utilised, (boosting and dimming with sensors), the light is only allowed to boost HIGHER than the minimum lux levels, it cannot dim lower. Also solar lights with PIR sensors are not suitable for compliant pathway lighting as the sensor range is not even close to being long enough to ensure the lights are at the brighter setting, as the pedestrian will not have active all the necessary light poles to the brighter level.
Solar road lights
The Australian and New Zealand lighting industry tends to categorise ‘Road Lights’ as lighting for larger feeder roads and main roads. Therefore this is often covered by V (vehicular) lighting standard AS/NZS 1158 3.1 2020 V category. This is a mission critical lighting application requiring constant all night light at the minimum necessary lighting levels, with strict parameters on glare.
Solar area/car park lighting
Car park lighting is often mission critical lighting which is designed for the pedestrian rather than the vehicles (as vehicles have their own light source). To comply with AS/NZS 1158 3.1 2020 car park lighting, the lights are not allowed to dim below the minimum lux levels at any time during the night while the car park is open. Therefore adaptive lighting can only light brighter than the minimum lux levels, not less. Also solar lights with PIR sensors are not suitable for compliant car park lighting as the sensor range is not even close to being long enough to ensure the lights are at the brighter setting, as the pedestrian will not have active all the necessary light poles to the brighter level.
Temporary solar lighting
Compliant street, area/car park, road and pathway lighting on a relocatable concrete block with certified forklift pick up point to enable ease of movement around the construction site without having to dismantle the light pole. Engineered and certified for the relevant wind regions.
