Astrid Solar street lighting is fully self-contained. No grid connection, no civil works, deployable in days rather than weeks. Each column carries its own PV panel, lithium battery and LED head, sized for at least three nights of autonomy in UK winter conditions.
Grid-tied lighting is expensive to install and slow to commission. Solar removes both bottlenecks.
APCOA's Grand Arcade car park in Wigan switched to Morgan Hope LED lighting with compliant emergency cover. Energy and maintenance costs dropped sharply — a 70% reduction in energy consumption, projected savings of more than £11,900 per year. The retrofit approach maintained existing infrastructure while delivering the required lumen levels and emergency lighting certification.
