Traditional Lighting

Lighting a lot shouldn't mean closing it.

For property managers, owners and HOAs, wiring a lot means cut asphalt, coned-off spaces and nowhere for residents or customers to park. Buried copper also becomes a target for theft, and replacing it means digging up the lot again. For developers, a lot that isn't lit can hold up occupancy.

THE FUTURE IS SOLAR

FLT lights every space in the lot.

01

Edge-to-edge coverage

Type 5 square optics tile solar light across the parking lot, so there are no dark gaps between poles and no shadowy back rows.

02

Brighter when cars arrive

Optional motion sensors brightens the light when someone pulls in. The FLT Adaptive Intelligence™ Lighting Controller runs your chosen profile the rest of the night.

03

Copper-free by design

Everything that powers the solar light lives in the fixture, so there's no copper theft and no buried wire to replace.

04

Lit through outages

The FLT All-Weather™ LiFePO4 battery stores solar energy to keep your parking lot lighting on when the power goes out.

Our parking lot fixtures

SCL2 leads for commercial and HOA parking lots. For retrofits, the tenon-mount SCL2-TM and RSL-TM fit onto most existing mast arms, so you can upgrade the lot without new poles. PLB-AC covers adjacent walkways and entries where grid power is already in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to install solar lighting in a parking lot?

Most lots install in a single day using general labor, with no electrician or utility coordination required. Exact timelines depend on lot size and fixture count.

Is solar lighting less expensive than wiring a parking lot?

On total installed and lifecycle cost, yes, once trenching, permitting, and electrician labor are factored in. A fixture-to-fixture price comparison favors wired AC, but total cost over the life of the asset favors solar.

Will the lights hold up through winter or extended cloudy stretches?

FLT fixtures use LiFePO4 batteries with MPPT charge optimization for multi-day autonomy. Confirm exact autonomy for your climate and lighting profile against the current spec sheet.
