Without proper lighting, pedestrian crossings can become dangerous black spots at night. A Leadsun solar powered pedestrian crossing light is the fast, affordable way to increase safety, improve visibility and ensure your crossing is compliant.
Why do pedestrian crossings need lighting?
Crossing Lights for Pedestrian Visibility
Not to be confused with pedestrian crossing traffic signals (typically featuring red ‘stop’ and green ‘walk’ symbols), pedestrian crossing lights ensure crossings are properly illuminated at night.
By law, vehicles are required to give way to pedestrians on a crossing or waiting to use one. So at night, the safe operation of a pedestrian crossing depends upon good lighting so that approaching drivers can see the crossing as well as any pedestrians using it, or waiting to do so.
Solar Powered Safety
Despite the critical role of lighting in pedestrian crossing safety, it is often not considered until after a crossing has been installed and already in use.
Fortunately, Leadsun solar powered pedestrian crossing lights can be installed quickly and affordably with minimal disruption, even on existing crossings. Powered by the sun and 100% off-grid, they don’t require any trenching, cabling or electricity connection approvals, saving many months off a typical install.
Quick and easy to install
No delays waiting for grid connections and no trenching or cabling. Leadsun solar powered pedestrian crossing lights can be installed in a fraction of the time usually required.
Affordable Illumination
Quick installation, minimal disruption and no electricity bills means a Leadsun solar powered pedestrian crossing light has lower up-front costs and lower operating costs.
Standards Compliant
Leadsun are the pedestrian crossing light experts. Our engineers can take care of everything and ensure your crossing is safe and Australian Standards compliant.
Safer Zebra Crossings
Powerful illumination so approaching drivers can see crossing markings and signs as well as pedestrians. Don't let your crossing become a black spot at night.
An Easy Way to Assess Your Crossings
Pedestrian crossing compliance can be confusing. Australian Standard AS/NZS 1158.4:2024 sets out the specific lighting requirements including standards for both horizontal illumination (so the crossing markings can be seen) as well as vertical illumination, so that anyone on the crossing is visible.
Our new, easy to use assessment tool is designed to give you a preliminary indication in under two minutes of whether your crossing may require a professional lighting assessment.

A free interactive map of your crossings
To help Councils identify potential crossing trouble spots, we’re excited to offer early access to the beta release of our new pedestrian crossing risk map. The map uses actual accident data and other location insights to highlight pedestrian crossings in your area that may be dangerous or need closer attention. It’s an easy way to get started on your journey reviewing crossings in your area.
The Pedestrian Crossing Map relies on data from third party sources including Government agencies and open data that has not been independently verified. Data presented may be incomplete, inaccurate, out of date or incorrect and may misrepresent actual risk. Do not rely on this tool as a substitute for a proper site inspection or professional assessment. Always independently verify any data shown before acting on it. Leadsun Australia accepts no liability for errors or omissions in the Risk Map.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
As a guide, we can fully supply and install three compliant grid-free pedestrian light crossing systems for about $25,000. Costs will vary however depending on application, installation size, access and design.
Pedestrian crossing lights are a more affordable option compared to electricity grid-connected lighting with lower upfront & life-cycle costs.
Installation costs vary depending on application, installation size, access and design. As a general rule though, installation costs for our pedestrian crossing lights are around a quarter of that for a similar grid-powered lighting system.
No electrical connections or underground cabling is required for a Leadsun pedestrian light crossing. This means they can be fully installed in about 20% of the usual time with no delays waiting for approvals or connection to the electricity grid. This means less cost to you, reduced disruption for road users and rapid deployment delivering safer crossings for pedestrians in a fraction of the usual time.
Solar, LED and LiFePO4 battery technology have come a long way in recent years. Our SMART solar LED lighting and patented battery systems are very mature technologies, and will match or outperform any other lighting solution on the market.
In Australia and New Zealand, all pedestrian light crossings must comply with strict Australian and New Zealand Lighting Standards. We provide a complete, fully engineered solution and compliance report for you, ensuring conformity with applicable standards including AS/NZS 1158.4:2024. All of our systems are designed to ensure at least 3 nights of minimum lighting will be maintained, even on cloudy days without needing any power from the electricity grid.
Solar powered pedestrian crossing lights are quicker and cheaper to install with less disruption. They are also compliant with applicable safety standards for pedestrian crossings, making them the ideal way to upgrade existing crossings so they are safer and complaint.
Our SMART solar pedestrian light crossing systems require minimal maintenance. The photovoltaic solar panels do not require washing or dusting and our systems can be monitored remotely with wireless SMART technology.
If servicing is required, our optional lowerable pole technology makes access easy with no cranes or special equipment needed.
Normally, a Lithium-ion battery will last between five to eight years. However, with Leadsun’s patented, advanced battery technology we guarantee a battery will have at least 80% of its rated capacity at the end of 10 years. In practice, actual battery life can extend well beyond this with typical battery life being around 15 years.
