Less than 20 miles south of San Juan, Caguas is located in the Central Mountain Range on the island of Puerto Rico. With a population of nearly 150,000, the community is routinely plagued with more than its share of environmental challenges – rough terrain, high humidity. When it was time to improve the street lighting of one residential community, city managers opted for technology that would be virtually maintenance free and economical. For that, they chose SELUX Sonne solar powered luminaires.
As City architect Francisco J. Rivera explains, “The SELUX Sonne fixture was the only one to use. It provided the highest quality, and also had great design. We purchased 27 units and found them easy to install. They also had excellent full cut-off optics and provided controllable dusk-to-dawn light even during power outages. Without a dependency on electricity, the units are extremely efficient and economical to operate.”
With the SELUX Sonne luminaire off-grid locations
need not be off bounds any longer. Equipped with one of a variety of different
size solar panels, sealed-gel batteries, and a fixture head fitted with from
26W to 32W compact fluorescent lamps, Sonne is environmentally friendly and can
be installed very quickly. This excellently designed lighting system
incorporates many innovative features, such as the Smart Controller
programmable regulator which controls flow of energy from panels to batteries
and lamping. No cabling, no trenching, no wiring, and no electric bills! UL
