Project:
Type: Quantity:
The IPL series is a fully-integrated solar LED pathway light that is an ideal choice for architectural, commercial, and recreational bikeway/pathway lighting applications. Visually appealing, robust construction, and unequalled performance - the IPL series is an excellent fit wherever high-quality lighting is required.
The performance of the IPL is maximized through the use of a proprietary Energy Management System (EMS) that enables the luminaire to function in harmony with its environment.
So what does this mean? The EMS ensures that, regardless of low-solar weather patterns that can produce intermittently poor charging conditions, the IPL will continue to provide light levels that enhance the appeal and safety of the night time environment.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Solar Module:
■ High-efficiency mono-crystalline cells ■ Inconspicuously mounted on top of luminaire ■ Used for day/night detection (no photocell required)
Energy Management System (EMS):
■ High-efficiency, temperature compensated Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
■ Micro-controller based technology ■ Includes high-efficiency LED driver ■ Integrated into luminaire housing ■ Designed to automatically manage lighting
performance based on environmental conditions and lighting requirements
■ Patent Pending
Battery: ■ Sealed lead acid, absorbed glass mat (AGM) ■ Superior cyclic performance ■ High temperature tolerance ■ 10 year design life ■ Contained within luminaire housing ■ Designed for easy battery changes when required
LEDs and Optics:
■ 100,000 hour L70 lifetime ■ Warm (3000K) and neutral (4300K) color
temperatures available ■ High efficiency Type 2, 3, and 5, full cut-off optics ■ Typical lumen output from 700 to 1200 lumens
Mechanical Construction:
■ Cast, low copper aluminum top, housing, and arms ■ Stainless fasteners with security fastener option ■ Architectural grade, super durable, TGIC powder coat
with Alodine undercoat ■ Four standard colors with custom colors available
Factory Set Lighting Profiles:
■ On at dusk, off at dawn ■ On at dusk, off after 6 hours ■ On at dusk, dim to 30% after 6 hours till dawn ■ On at dusk, off after 5 hours, on 1 hour before dawn ■ On at dusk, dim to 30% after 5 hours, on 1 hour
before dawn

Utilizing solar power and LEDs, the IPL is fully self-contained and offers significant benefits over grid-based pathway lights including:
■ Low installed cost and minimal site impact with no trenching, cabling or wiring ■ Minimal ongoing costs with no electrical bills or bulbs to change ■ Not affected by power outages ■ Provide a visibly green statement without recurring carbon emissions
