This unique master-planned estate in Tampa Bay, Florida is the first SMART connected city in the United States. With an infrastructure built on an extremely fast internet, it is positioned to be one of the most advanced cities of the 21st Century. With an advanced battery management system and wireless remote lighting control, Leadsun’s SMART solar street lights were the perfect fit for this technologically advanced project.
- 1,000 x AE3 Series 80W stand-alone solar lights
- 20W LED Maximum output power (Dusk to Dawn operation)
- Adaptive lighting control automatically dims lights to 30% during inactivity
- Lithium-ion batteries provides 10+ years maintenance-free life span
- Future proofed with built-in wireless control and monitoring system
After more than three years of development in Melbourne, Leadsun designed an entirely off-grid solution that included adaptive sensors, wireless asset management and control. This new grid-free street lighting technology has full wireless connectivity capabilities, DARK SKY compliance, and is future-proofed to power smart city devices such CCTV, public Wi-Fi access points, and more.
Due to Florida sitting within the hurricane corridor, another challenge faced for this project are the extreme weather conditions that could influence the autonomy of the energy systems. With this in mind, Leadsun made an exhaustive analysis of the off-grid solution and tailored a robust lighting system that was build to withstand the extreme weather without compromising the aesthetics or technology of the product.
