Centre des Impots de Marseille (Tax Office) is a government building in the city of Marseille, France. Existing lighting to the entrance and gardens needed upgrading with a more energy efficient solution.    LIGMAN post top fittings ARIZONA paired with vertical solar PV poles illuminate the pedestrian access. This robust solution provides lighting to the building entrance without the need for on-grid power.    The design of the ARIZONA mimics traditional area luminaires but without any upward spill light. Providing wide coverage of light distribution in an energy efficien ..read more

Cobham Drive Walkway is a 1.3km stretch of pedestrian path along Evans Bay in Wellington, New Zealand. Wellington City Council commissioned lighting designer Josh Duckett to illuminate this area. Which appears unassuming, yet presented many specific challenges. Located next to the coast, strong winds and sea water are prevalent in this area. Rocks along the shore also provide homes for the local penguin population.  To withstand wind gusts of up to 200km/hr the standard poles and PV cells were factory reinforced. Extra powder coating provided necessary protection against corro ..read more

Factories around the world are constantly looking into ways of increasing efficiency, reducing their overhead operation costs, and with the current emphasis on climate change also looking into ways in which they can also reduce their carbon footprint. For these reasons and more, solar integrated post top luminaires are a key element in the future of solar energy in factories.  Solar Energy in Factories It isn’t uncommon to see service stations and warehouses with solar panels lining their rooftops. This otherwise wasted space becomes a valuable resource which can be utilised fo ..read more

NATURE SOURCE – LIGMAN’s Solar Integrated Post Top – is a contemporary eco-conscious family of luminaires. It features sleek modern housing, integrated motion and sunlight sensors, solar charging, and programmable dimming.    This unique approach to post-top illumination is changing the face of power distribution – along with it the perception of solar integrated post top lighting and what the future holds for lighting and power distribution.    Changing the Face of Power Distribution What typically comes to mind when you think of power distribution? Most likely ..read more

We all want to do our part for the planet and live more sustainable lives. One way of doing this is by making your home a greener place with solar integrated luminaires.  What are solar integrated luminaires? Solar integrated lighting, also known as solar-powered lighting or solar lighting, uses the energy from the sun to power lights.  Solar integrated lighting typically includes a solar panel, a battery, and a lighting fixture. The solar panel converts sunlight into electricity, which is stored in the battery. When the lights are turned on, the stored electricity is used to ..read more

Climate change is the global concern for this generation and generations of the future. Weather and temperature extremes are becoming more pronounced, and the consequences of this continuing are already being felt around the world. Phasing out fossil fuels and moving towards sustainable, renewable energy practices, is one way that climate change can be curbed and potentially reversed. But many industries are looking at their own ways of innovating, rather than waiting for governments and power companies to make these dramatic changes. By utilising the power of the sun, the lighting indus ..read more

Solar bollards are a revolution in pedestrian area lighting, in that they are no longer reliant on the utility power grid or any in-ground infrastructure for operation. This enables their use in all manner of locations where it is difficult, infeasible, or simply not possible to provide electricity through conventional means. This introduces cost savings, energy savings, and the provision of pedestrian area lighting where in the past it had to be overlooked. So what are the top 5 ways to use solar bollards? Remote and Rural Locations Those of us who live in the city and urban environme ..read more

It is virtually impossible to open the newspaper or watch the news and not hear about the ongoing problem of climate change. In more recent years the rising costs of electricity has made this problem more relevant to end users – not only due to being more reliant on heating in winter and cooling in summer due to the increases in temperature extremes, but also the kWh cost that is rising each year as well. For these reasons and more, solar power in the home has become an important consideration for everyone, not only people who want to be more environmentally friendly, but everyone who ne ..read more

  The Vertical Solar PV Pole: The Perfect Addition To Your HomeWith the rising costs of electricity, everyone is looking at ways of reducing their power bill. Sometimes this can be achieved by smart metering, switching off appliances when their not in use, and only using devices with a higher energy star rating. But if you have already implemented many of these changes, how else can you reduce your power consumption and make your home even more energy efficient? Perhaps you can consider a vertical solar PV pole as the perfect addition to your home? What is a vertical solar PV po ..read more
