LUMENA PRO SOLAR LIGHTING
ADVANCED FUNCTIONALITY FOR 2023
Innovative lighting specialists Lumena are a leading supplier of professional solar lights in the UK .
Since the successful 2019 launch of their ‘ Pro Solar ’ bollards and solar street lighting ; high profile clients across the UK have specified the ranges , with installations at Eton College , the Eden project , University of Oxford , hospitality venues such as Haven parks , Kettering General Hospital , various councils , new housing developments and private gardens .
The hugely in-demand Solar bollards illuminate at full brightness when darkness falls , then follow a gradual dimming sequence , starting at 100 % and eventually dimming to 30 %. The especially calibrated electronic controls give all night illumination , even in a typical UK January . Highly-efficient panels , brighter LEDs , and high capacity , long-life lithium-Ion / LiFePO4 batteries retain charge and help to provide a greener , more sustainable lighting solution .
Based on the success of the bollards , and the inclusion of the ‘ Sol-Icon ’ twosided motion sensor path light at Cornwall ’ s Eden Project , Lumena have added three more PIR motion sensor bollards to their range . PIR ( passive infra-red ) motion sensors are a fantastic charge-retaining factor , illuminating when motion is detected , then dimming or turning off when the area is clear . This function saves more of the sun ’ s charge , prevents light pollution , and protects nocturnal wildlife from artificial light . There ’ s less impact of wasted light in comparison to constant lighting ; a great feature when facing the current climate challenge .

Litecharga solar bollards at a waterside development
The ‘ Panama ’ is the best-selling solar bollard design and is now available with a PIR . The two other designs are the anti-glare ‘ Litecharga ’ and higher output ‘ Olympia ’. When the PIR sensor is triggered , the PIR bollards illuminate at 100 % brightness . After 30 seconds , they return to 50 % brightness . In addition , the Active Smart Power System ( ASPS ) further reduces light emission when the battery voltage is low , resulting in longer-lasting light functionality .
The Panama PIR Solar Bollard Illuminated
To further reduce light pollution , Lumena has added remote control support to the Eccentrica solar bollard and Signa solar sign light . This remote control offers timing controls and brightness adjustments to further reduce pollution , as well as improvements to functionality .
Alongside the bollards , the ViaMax solar streetlights are available as full sets with lamp posts or as lights only , to attach to existing posts , the same high-spec technology is incorporated , including motion sensors and time controllers for substantial charge retention and ultimate reliability .
