The Trident Solar Area Light is one of our most popular outdoor solar lighting solutions. It has a broad range of applications, from landscape lighting to estate lighting for residential areas, security lighting in car parks and business premises, and safety lighting for pathways and pedestrian routes.

Combining a sleek, modern aesthetic and the latest in cutting-edge sustainable tech, each model incorporates a wide range of functions and features, offering cost-efficiencies, durability, and high performance, regardless of the weather.

In this article, we’ll clarify how area lights work and the types of tech built into each lighting unit. We’ll also illustrate the reduced expenditures linked with dependable, always-on estate lighting with automatic capabilities that operate solely on solar power.

Solar Area Lights: A Look at Functionality and Use Cases

For those new to solar lighting in estate and commercial settings, it’s worth clarifying how these pole-mounted lights work and why they represent the most advanced options for budget-conscious estate managers and business owners.

Pole-mounted lights are a great option for most environments since the elevated height of the LED bulbs means the illumination is spread over a wider area, improving visibility and safety without producing an intense light that is uncomfortable or has a narrow field of coverage.

In public-access settings, mounted lights are also preferable since they are less vulnerable to tampering or theft. The Trident Solar Light can be mounted at heights from three to 3.5 metres.

An attractive, contemporary and discreet alloy lamp body slots in the landscape without looking obviously like a security light, forgoing the unsightly plastics and conventional large steel units that many area managers prefer to avoid – maintaining a high-quality aesthetic that adds value to the location and perceptions of residents and site users.

Each light works using innovative solar tech, with a solar cell battery that offers a lifespan of 1,500 cycles—in real-world terms, that translates to roughly 12 years. This ensures that the outdoor lighting battery isn’t only eco-friendly, but functions seamlessly for over a decade without requiring a replacement!

We’ll work through the more technical specifications shortly, but each light is engineered with accredited waterproof ratings and comes with a professional three-year warranty and exceptional durability to ensure that your lighting is equally efficient and effective.

Understanding the Benefits of the Trident Solar Landscape Light

As specialists in solar lighting, we love to combine functionality with beauty. Many clients select the Trident model primarily due to its sophisticated design, the light’s streamlined, seamless curves, and how it stands out as a high-end business security light or adds to a sense of security for customers entering or leaving a parking zone.

However, the advantages of this cutting-edge lighting solution extend beyond appearance:

  • Customers and clients across South Africa are assured of fantastic customer support, with free shipping nationwide, the warranty coverage mentioned, and bespoke advice available from our teams on demand.
  • The Trident Area Light costs nothing to run and requires minimal maintenance. It depends only on clean, green solar power, with no electricity costs – meaning that each light will function regardless of whether there is planned load shedding or blackouts affecting all other lighting in the region.
  • Businesses and estate developers keen to maximise their sustainability credentials and protect local ecosystems can choose solar lights that ensure estate and parking lighting is environmentally friendly and does not contribute to unnecessary light pollution.
  • Enhanced IP65-rated waterproof casings are impervious to rain and road sprays, protecting the battery within. Added patented technology ensures the battery and LEDs are safeguarded from extreme temperatures and will not become damaged or deteriorate even in the worst weather conditions.

An aluminium body is lightweight and rust-resistant while being a wholly recyclable material. This augments the eco-friendly specs of this street lighting model and ensures that each light will remain polished and clean for years to come.

Security Functions Within the Trident Solar Landscape Light

When the Trident was designed, the features clients request most often when sourcing solar outdoor lights for estates and pathways, was considered. A dual set of PIR motion sensors emitting 30-lumen illuminations, incorporated.

As an additional security element, motion sensors ensure that any movement, unauthorised entry, vehicles arriving at a venue, premise, or site outside of normal hours, or cars entering a controlled parking area are automatically and immediately spot-lit, allowing security guards and responders to react accordingly.

Eliminating deep shadows, concealed corners, and dark entrances boosts trust and confidence, deters prospective criminals, and protects inventory, equipment and assets from being targeted by intruders under darkness, ensuring they are identified, illuminated and seen.

Advanced Solar Technology Integrated with the Trident Landscape Model

Onto the more technical specifications as promised, the Trident light packs in a vast amount of dynamic functions and features that both improve performance, extend the lifespan of the solar light and optimise operational efficiency.

  • 4 patented tech, which provides as much as 10 days of sustained lighting even during overcast conditions.
  • TCS technology, which prevents the battery from overheating.
  • Automatic sensors to switch the lights on and off according to the weather and time of day.
  • PIR motion sensors, the discrete security feature we highlighted earlier.
  • Three variable lighting modes, depending on the nature of your site and your requirements.

The solar cell embedded within the lighting casing is a Monocrystalline 16.2V cell accompanied by a Li-ion battery. Both enhance efficiency and improve the amount of power produced per square metre, meaning that a compact, subtle lighting model can cover comparable areas to much larger, more obtrusive electricity-powered alternatives.

The choice of battery is just as intentional as a high-energy battery that incorporates the greatest energy density of any commercial battery technology. It provides maximum energy storage within a light, small case—with a low self-discharge rate of 1.5% to 2% a month, indicating that the battery will not become less efficient or dramatically reduce charging capacity even over long periods of use.
