Crafted
with precision
A die‑cast luminaire, paired with a standalone solar panel and a separate battery box — three independently sized components, power range 20–200 W. The lens can be replaced without modifying the main fixture; the rear cover opens manually. No trenching, no cabling, zero electricity bills.
How a solar light
gets through a night.
Three poles on one kerb of a four-lane carriageway, spaced at 3.5× mounting height so the throws cross and the road lights evenly. Jump to sundown or sunrise and watch the photocell hand the street over — or take the switch and the dimmer and drive all three yourself.
Engineered Energy System,
Optimized for Every Site
Reliable solar lighting starts with the right balance of energy generation and storage. The solar panel is sized to maximise energy harvesting under site conditions, while the battery provides the capacity needed to maintain reliable lighting when solar input is limited. Both components are precisely matched to each model, creating a balanced and dependable off‑grid power system. See the specifications below for the corresponding configurations.
Separate, and sized to the site
Multi-busbar monocrystalline cells at 23% conversion, 24% at module level, output held to ±3%. Because the panel is its own part it is specified against the site rather than the luminaire: six modules from 60 W to 300 W, 660×620 mm up to 1430×1150 mm. PID-resistant to IEC 62804, 2400 Pa wind and 5400 Pa snow, 5-year material and 25-year linear output warranty.
Its own box attached to the solar panel
Over 4000 cycles, available in two cell grades. Standard‑grade cells support charging from 0 °C, while advanced‑grade cells allow charging down to −20 °C — ideal for winter‑condition sites where standard battery packs would stop charging entirely. Both cell grades operate for discharge across the full −20 °C to 60 °C range. Since the battery pack is designed as an external enclosure, end‑of‑life replacement is completed via a simple box‑swap, with no need to replace the entire luminaire.
Harvest by day,
control through the night
The MPPT controller tracks the solar panel's maximum power point as conditions change, with tracking efficiency above 99.9% and charge conversion of 97.5%. Charging moves through MPPT, boost, equalisation and float to replenish the pack for the night ahead.
After sunset, the controller sets how that stored energy becomes light. Choose a mode to see the difference: five timed brightness steps, a response to movement, one level from dusk to dawn, or a schedule counted back from the recorded sunrise. Controller B supports five-stage and motion-sensor modes; Controller C supports five-stage, dusk-to-dawn and TOT. The schedules shown are examples.
The controller’s clock steps the level from block to block. Traffic changes nothing in this mode.
The sensor raises the level the moment it sees movement; after a short delay it falls back.
After the panel’s voltage crosses the day/night threshold (D/N Thr) the light waits a short delay (D/N Dly) — at dusk and again at dawn — so a passing cloud does not switch it.
TOT (dashed) and Time 5 are counted back from the sunrise the controller recorded the day before, so Time 5 ends as the sun comes up on a short night and a long one. Times and levels are an example.
A Tiltable Light
The split design allows the solar panel and luminaire to be independently positioned for maximum performance. The panel can be adjusted by up to 30° to optimize its orientation toward the sun, while the luminaire remains precisely aimed at the road for optimal light distribution.
With independent adjustment at the mast, solar collection and roadway illumination can each be optimized without compromising the other — delivering greater installation flexibility, easier on‑site setup and reliable lighting performance.
The Optics
How efficiently the engine makes light, and how tightly the optic cuts it. Both are specified rather than set on site: the beam is shaped at the LED, and which of the distributions a pole is built with is a different lens plate, not a setting.
Aria Engine, Swappable Lens
Powered by Philips Lumileds in a modular LED array, the Aria Engine delivers outstanding reliability with a lifetime of over 100,000 hours and CRI 70 performance. Available in four CCT options from 2500–3500 K to 5500–6500 K, it provides flexible lighting solutions for various applications. The serviceable optical system features interchangeable lenses with 15 IES light distributions, allowing optical replacement without changing the luminaire structure. The IP66 and IK08‑rated housing is finished in RAL9005 black or RAL7045 grey and mounted on a 0°–90° adjustable spigot.
15 distributions,
cut at the LED
The beam is precisely shaped at the LED source through a dedicated moulded lens array, ensuring light is directed exactly where it is needed. This source‑level optical control delivers clean, efficient illumination while minimising stray light, glare and unwanted upward light. With 15 optical distributions available, each luminaire can be precisely matched to the application — from focused roadway lighting to wider‑area illumination. The selected distribution is defined by a dedicated lens plate, not a software setting.
The 70×135° (Type II-S) array, as supplied. Each dimple is one LED's optic and the plate is a single moulding, so the pattern cannot drift out of alignment on site.

Left: how the light leaves the luminaire. Intensity in candela against the angle from straight down, in the plane across the carriageway (C0–C180) and along the road (C90–C270). Almost nothing is thrown behind the pole, which is what keeps the light on the road instead of in the windows facing it.
Right: what that puts on the ground. Set the mounting height and the pattern redraws: colour shows relative brightness, the contour lines are absolute lux, and the kerb and a 7 m carriageway give the scale.
The Type III-M is one of the eight distributions listed above — the same luminaire, a different lens for a different road.
Everything it knows,
and who it tells.
From here on it is the same pole seen from further away: the node that runs it, the six things it senses about itself, the console it reports to and the mesh it reports over.
The controller is the node
The charge controller and the IoT radio are the same device, so what the light decides and what the platform sees cannot drift apart. Work mode, dimming profile and thresholds are all set remotely. IP67 with 3000 V TVS surge protection.
What the light knows
about itself
Six of them, and not one is decoration. The pole switches on its own panel voltage, counts the charge in and out of its pack, knows if it has been leaned on, and refuses to charge a frozen battery. What they measure is what the console shows — there is no second, friendlier set of numbers.
Dusk to dawn
The panel is the sensor: the controller switches on the falling panel voltage against a programmable 5.0–10.0 V threshold, with a 0–30 minute delay so passing cloud does not cycle the light.
Microwave sensors
Microwave sensors sit in the head. In motion mode the light holds 100/60/30/70% while something is moving and drops to 30/20/10/20% when nothing is — the saving that buys the small hours without leaving a street dark.
Measured, not modelled
A high-precision battery monitor module reports voltage, current, power, real capacity and time remaining. A pack that is ageing shows up as a falling capacity years before it shows up as a dark light fixture.
Permanently powered GPS
A mini tracker on its own supply, hidden in a part of the fixture an installer cannot reach, followed live from the app. It is there for the light fixtures that leave site on the back of somebody's truck.
Gyroscope and accelerometer
The installed angle is locked at commissioning. A knock, a lean or an attempt to unbolt the head raises an alarm at the operation centre and sends an SMS from the management system.
0 °C charge protection
Standard lithium is not charged below freezing. The controller holds charge off until the pack is warm enough to take it, which is the single thing that most shortens a solar light's life in a cold climate. So we suggest the premium lithium pack for low-temperature areas.
One console
for the whole estate.
A cloud central management system for provisioning, monitoring, controlling and analysing lighting. Multi-tenant, reached from a browser on a laptop, tablet or phone, and scaling to thousands of locations under a single interface.
The console runs
on its own page.
A working simulation of the platform E-Lite ships with iNET, rebuilt screen by screen from the live console. Every rail item, filter, dropdown, toolbar icon, page control, row action, drawer and log tab responds the way it does in the real thing — so you can evaluate how an estate is actually run before committing to anything. Nothing writes, and every name, reading and coordinate on screen is invented.
- Provision and monitor — every light and gateway, on a map or in a list.
- Control — on, off, dimmed, by hand or on a schedule, singly or by group.
- Alarms — lamp failure, night outages and day burners, to e‑mail or SMS.
- Reports — energy and light level by asset, selection or city.
Every control node, on the map
On the map, each luminaire or control node can be created, imported and edited with its device attributes: pole coordinates and pole type, fixture wattage (pre‑ and post‑retrofit), and lamp type. iNET carries out GIS‑to‑GPS matching to associate pole IDs with the corresponding luminaires or control nodes mounted on the poles. This eliminates the need for field personnel to record device IDs during installation.
Map and floor plan
A map-based interface for status, health and overrides, extended to floor plans for indoor structures such as parking garages. Faulty devices are located from the same view that reported them.
Groups and priority
Assets are logically grouped for lighting schedule setup. A single group can hold multiple schedules simultaneously, keeping regular operating schedules separate from special‑event schedules. The system engine applies the active schedule based on defined event priority, so operators do not need to manually track and recall schedule rules. Operators can assess real‑time weather and remaining battery capacity, then remotely switch the schedules as required.
Collected several times a day
Data is uploaded to the CMS every 10 minutes from each LCU. Collected metrics include solar panel and battery charge‑discharge voltage and current, battery state‑of‑charge percentage, luminaire operating status, and fault alarms.
Failure finds you
Built-in alarms per asset class, configurable to e-mail and SMS. The system watches for lamp failure, night outages and day burners, and the logs export as CSV.
Asset, selection or city
Energy reports compare performance across lighting assets; data logs trend light level, wattage and schedules over a period. Everything exports to CSV or PDF.
Every interface to iNET uses SSL with AES encryption. Access is role-based and can be restricted at different levels of a geozone hierarchy, password policy follows industrial standards, and a timeout after repeated failed logins closes the obvious attack.
Multi-tenant and built on current web technology, so it ports across platforms and web interfaces. Supported on Chrome, Firefox and Edge.
Every node
relays for its neighbours.
The gateway talks to the server over 4G cellular, and to the nodes over SUB-1GHz radio. Between the nodes it is a mesh: any node can act as a repeater, so an instruction from the server reaches a light that cannot hear the gateway directly.
SUB-1GHz, nine channels
IEEE 802.15.4 on ISM 315 / 433 / 490 / 868 / 915 / 928 MHz, 9-channel direct sequence spread spectrum at +22 dBm from the node and +24 dBm from the gateway. Node to node and node to gateway both reach 1 km line of sight.
Wireless
It leverages its integrated 4G modem to connect over any cellular carrier. Downstream nodes operate independently and remain unaffected regardless of the gateway’s connectivity method.
100–200 nodes, 2000 m across
One gateway carries up to 200 controllers out to 1000 m line of sight, and the mesh between them spans a network up to 2000 m in diameter. Beyond that, add a gateway rather than a trench.
A gateway.
A node per light.
Two devices carry the whole system. The gateway is the bridge to the server; the node is the part that actually holds a luminaire's behaviour, and there is one in every fixture.
The bridge to the server
Connects the field controllers to the management system over 4G, through an integrated cellular modem. Star-mesh repeater topology, wall or pole mounted, with a built-in lightning surge arrester on every antenna port and a 5-year limited warranty.
Two ways to fit it
Standard installs inside the fixture, normally in the drive box — the choice for new luminaires and for retrofits where the housing opens. NEMA fits the NEMA 7-pin socket on top of a street light or area fixture, with an onboard photocell, and needs no one inside the housing at all.
