ecolights, a young, innovative company situated in the Styrian Aichfeld, designs, plans and manufactures custom-made solar lighting systems for all requirements. In a business environment, affected by industry and technology, the flexible team of ecolights finds an optimal base to combine broad know-how with innovative methods. ecolights‘ solutions range from individually adopted solar lamps to improve the road safety, to complete lighting solutions for roads, footpaths, bicycle lanes, parks, water fronts, sports-, camping- and playing grounds, residential areas in the public sector and accesses of private houses and gardens. The secure and effective lighting of signs, company nameplates, bus stops, monuments and bridges with solar light bars and Power-LED-flood-lights complete the range of services. If required ecolights provides also planning and installation of conventional solar energy solutions for private, municipal and commercial purposes. The use of the most exhaustless, eco-friendly and cost-effective energy source enables ecolights lighting systems an almost bound-less field of application. ecolights addresses itself to the Subject Energy and provides with Solar Lighting Systems Security, Sustainability, Energy Efficiency and optimised Costs Shortage of raw materials, increasing energy costs, ecological requirements, cost consciousness, increased security requirements – future prospects, which pose a thread for some, are a challenge for others. ecolights addresses itself to the prospects around the subject energy and regard them as a chance. ecolights’ contribution to security, sustainability, energy efficiency and optimised costs are technologically innovative and well designed lighting systems for streets, ways, buildings and objects for the private, public or commercial sector. Due to technical advances in the semiconductor industry, solar lighting systems became a reliable alternative to conventional lighting methods. The Functioning of Solar Lighting Systems Solar lamps work completely self-sufficiently and do not need a connection to the electricity network. During the day a solar generator produces electric power, which is simultaneously accumulated in special storage batteries. As soon as it is getting dark, the energy, required for the lighting, is re-taken from the accumulator. A sophisticated energy management monitors the charging and discharging of the system and controls the lighting. All ecolights solar road lamps are equipped with an intelligent control system which makes a breakdown of the system, even at poor lighting conditions, impossible. Solar lamp “ECOSTAR” has been specially constructed by ecolights to lighten footpaths, bicycle lanes as well as playing and camping grounds and sports fields. Embedded LED-reflectors need only little energy and are of long durability – beyond that the lamp persuades through an elegant, timeless design. The application areas of the solar lamp “WOODLIGHT” are driveways, gardens, parks and pools – the lamp convinces especially through its ease of assembly. Quality, Robustness, Design Solar lamps of ecolights demonstrate that robustness and a long durability on the one hand and elegant design on the other hand not need to be mutually exclusive. Therefore the focus of our in-house planning and manu-facturing lies not only on detailed functional concepts but also on aesthetic designs. According to light specific requirements individual products are being produced, combining perfectly form and function. Special Advantages of Solar Lighting Systems Compared to conventional illumination all ecolights solar lighting systems show the following advantages: • No need to lay feeders to the location. • Existing streets and places can be lighten easily later without high installation works. • Solar lamps operate automatically and absolutely autonomously of the public grid. • Lighting systems can be realised, being unprofitable or even impossible with conventional electric supply. • No standing costs for energy consumption, operation or service. • Application of solar light is absolutely non-polluting, because the required energy is directly extracted from the sun. • ecolights solar lights contribute significantly to road safety, by lightening complex and dangerous crossroads and gateways. • Illuminating bus stops, footpaths, bicycle lanes, parks etc. meet increased security demands of children, women and elderly people. • ecolights solar lighting systems are robust, vandalism-resistant and have a long product life.
