Challenge

The lack of quality lighting had implications for health and safety. 

• The new lighting solution needed to be easy to deploy, cost-effective to run and provide reliable year round lighting.
• Ensuring the installation works had minimal environmental impact.
• The solution also needed to be environmentally sustainable and significantly reduce carbon emissions.

Products — In Action

• After a site visit, we developed a full lighting design and proposal, ensuring the new site lighting would meet British lighting standards.
• A total of 89 AE3 solar street lights were retrofitted and installed across various housing estates delivering a bright and reliable year round lighting solution without noise, emissions or the need for mains power.
• Our expert, in-house installation team carried out the work. The installation took only 2-weeks to complete and was completed in accordance with VIVO’s health and safety regulations.
• This project successfully demonstrates how sustainable solar lighting delivers a year round, commercially viable solution that can help businesses reach their sustainability targets.

Products —

• Feature Our AE3 solar-powered LED street lights are a high quality, year round, permanent solution with no need for mains electrical power.
• They can be fitted or retrofitted quickly and efficiently, as there is no need to install cables or dig trenches.
• Being fully solar-powered means no carbon emissions, no noise, no electricity bills, and minimal maintenance is required.
• The AE3 features a specially developed smart light controller and Passive Infra-Red (PIR) sensor. This ensures there is light, even throughout the darkest winter months.

"Having used Prolectric for several lighting projects now, I find their approach, ease of use, knowledge and range of products to be very good. It’s fantastic to be able to work with such a reliable and proactive supplier installing solar lighting adaptions to existing street lighting as well as new designs. The works are incredibly low impact for our families and cause no issues while being completed but result in much better lighting designs as well as eliminating the cost of traditional street lighting electricity bills for our client."
