SCL3: FLT's New Solar Street and Area Light for Roads, Pathways and Parking Lots

First Light Technologies (FLT) just released the SCL3, its brightest LED solar street and area light yet. Designed as a versatile solar pole light for roadways, pathways and parking lots, it delivers the highest lumen output of any FLT light to date.

Built for Fast Installation

For developers and contractors in mind, the SCL3 is a commercial solar outdoor lighting solution that provides quick installation with no need for trenching or electrical wiring. It's compatible across common pole materials and fits a standard 2 3/8" tenon, so it works whether you're mounting it on an existing pole or installing a new one.

Escpecially valuable on retrofit projects, mounting SCL3 onto an existing pole, rather than replacing it, cuts out the cost, permitting and downtime that come with installing new infrastructure. It's a clear advantage for tight project timelines and existing site upgrades.

Arm configuration adds another layer of flexibility, determining how far and where the light reaches:
