Solar lighting has many benefits: environmentally conscious, require no wiring, and save money on operating and maintenance costs.
While there are many benefits, these are our top four:
Compared to traditional lighting, the lifespan of LED's is far superior and can last on average 50,000+ hours, or anywhere from 6 - 12 years before you need to replace them. (which is approx. 40 times longer than Incandescent bulbs!)
LED light bulbs use around 75-85% less electricity than incandescent bulbs, and approx. 50% less than fluorescent tubes.
LED's provide higher lumens per watt and produce more light at lower wattage levels, making them much more efficient and power-wise than filament light.
Approximately 80-90% of the total energy used to power traditional bulbs (like incandescent) is converted directly into heat.
LEDs emit almost no forward heat and don't produce any UV rays, and because they consume less power, they can operate effectively on low voltage systems which are generally much safer.
By switching to energy-efficient lighting, you will more than likely qualify for rebates and incentives to help you save on your initial investment. These programs are constantly changing & vary by province, but our team can help you easily navigate them & assist with applications!
Because Solar lighting requires no electrical source or cables; it can be installed anywhere. All it needs is the sun!
The most sustainable lighting source currently in the market; uses a renewable resource to power the system.
Say goodbye to large electricity bills, maintenance costs, and messy cables.
Perfect for a wide variety of applications such as; rural, street lights, personal use, and more!
Your solution could be solar!

Solar offers an "off-grid" solution, requires no wiring, and has low energy costs.
Yes, although the photovoltic technology has improved, resulting in increased usage - weather can still impede the performance of the system.
While solar fixtures can have a greater upfront cost, the longterm operating and maintenance costs are significantly lower than non-solar technology.
With the evergrowing technological advancements of solar panel efficiency, I'm looking forward to the potential that solar lighting will have on the lighting industry.
