Solar Lighting Systems for Parks and Playgrounds

Parks and playgrounds are great places to hang out with friends and family. From just playing on the playground, to running in the fields, to strolling along the trails and relaxing in nature, there is so much to do in the park. Most parks close at dusk, but some prefer to open later. Parks should always have proper lighting installed; however, electricity is not always available. This is where solar lighting systems come into play.

Solar application – Solar Lighting for Park

Solar lighting systems can provide so much to parks. They can light up signs, information booths, trails, gazebos, parking lots, and more. Since they are independent of the grid, they can be easily installed anywhere in the park and provide the lighting required for the application.

Solar Sign

Both entry and directional signs should be well lit to help people navigate around the park. If the park is closed after dark, if not all night, only the entrance sign needs to remain mostly illuminated.

Solar lighting systems for signage are usually not very large and use floodlights that can run at much lower wattages. Signs can have a single flood fixture or use multiple fixtures on a single solar module for large monumental signs.

Solar Parking and Roads

Large-scale solar lighting systems are used in parking lots and roads. These typically have fixtures mounted 15-20 feet above the ground and are high-powered to provide adequate lighting for the area. LED light fixtures provide a good safety vision for people walking around the park.

Solar power for playgrounds and pavilions

Playgrounds use pole lights installed along the perimeter of the area. These are high-powered to ensure adequate visibility and not too many dark areas. TrueWay Tec’s solar-powered lights can utilize motion sensors, allowing the lights to be reduced or turned off when the playground area is not in use.

Families tend to gather to watch adjacent pavilions where children use canopy fixtures. The units have a roof-mounted solar panel assembly and a remote-mounted battery. Depending on the size of the structure, it will depend on how many light fixtures are needed to properly illuminate the pavilion space.

Solar Lighting Operation

Timing is the key to determining how long a lamp needs to run. Most of TrueWay Tec’s solar lights can last up to 7-9 hours. This allows the lights to provide extra security for people visiting the park after dark. Lighting can also provide additional safety for park department personnel who need to protect the area at night.

Regardless of the application, solar lighting can help with any lighting issues a park has. Feel free to contact TrueWay Tec to import and replace your park lights!
