Whether lighting a park, a highway or a busy parking lot, effective illumination can make a world of difference. Safety, security, convenience and aesthetics can all be enhanced by suitable lighting, but sometimes the best location for a light is far from a convenient source of electricity.
Installing power lines, above or below ground, can be a challenge, with trenching and cabling a costly and disruptive prospect. Fortunately, advances in photovoltaic and LED lighting technology have produced a convenient alternative: the Orion off-grid lighting solution.
Orion’s off-grid lighting solutions evolved from the harsh operating environments of marine navigation, aviation and remote mining applications, and only recently has the underlying technology advanced to the point where it could illuminate larger outdoor areas in an efficient, cost-effective and reliable manner.
Australian off-grid solutions in actionFor 10 years Orion has been supplying off-grid lighting solutions throughout Australia, New Zealand and surrounding countries, mostly to the aviation, marine and mining industries. More recently, as our products have become capable of meeting higher minimum light levels and uniformity, they have been adopted by municipal and state governments for public area lighting including urban streets and highways.
The Queensland State Government has recently appointed Orion as a preferred supplier of off-grid lighting solutions for highways and dockside applications.
A light for any locationOrion’s off-grid solutions come in a range of products to suit almost any outdoor application. Orion’s solar bollards meet the needs for pathway illumination and way-finding; our IPL pole mounted light is an ideal choice for architectural, commercial and recreational applications; and our EG series includes models for pathways, street lights and highway applications.
