PROJECT DETAILS
Problem
The client had existing solar lights on straight poles
that were not working and difficult to service. A
simple, low maintenance and fit for purpose solution
was required. A remote-controlled solar light would
eliminate water ingress due to external wiring and
downward facing light distribution enable better
coverage over the arenas sand surface.
Process
One by one the 4 existing poles had the solar panel
and faulty light heads removed. The existing solar
lights also had a switch lower down on the pole that
in most cases were full of water. This system was not
fit for purpose and this led to its failure. The new
supplied solar lights are all-in-one and have IP65
water and dust resistance plus IK08 rating for impact.
The new design eliminates cables, switches & plugs.
Solution
The new lights were easily mounted to the top of
each pole with an adjustable pole mounting bracket.
This bracket was angled higher than the standard
model to throw light further across the arena.
Although the existing poles were staggered, the
amount of light supplied to the arena is appropriate
for groundwork at night. Using the 4 staggered poles
along each side of the arena was the most cost
effective and appropriate solution without the need
for additional poles, footings and lights.
