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

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

FLT | First Light Technologies 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

With 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.

Especially 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:

With short- and long-arm versions, SCL3 offers the versatility of having a short arm to focus light over closer, more narrow areas, whereas the long arm enables light to shine across driving lanes even when the pole is set far behind the curb.

Low-Profile Solar Panel Design

The SCL3 uses an integrated solar panel design, this integrated design reduces visual clutter and distractions, unlike traditional solar lighting designs that keep the panel exposed. 

This sleek design comes in three standard colors - light grey, black and dark bronze - with custom colors also available to match the surrounding aesthetic.

Looking for a Different Fit?

SCL3 is built for high-output roadway, pathway, and parking lot applications, but FLT offers other solar lighting solutions depending on your project's pole setup and setting.

Retrofitting an existing street light pole?
If you're working with a different pole configuration or want another retrofit-ready option alongside SCL3, FLT's BFL is designed specifically for street light pole retrofits, making it easy to upgrade existing infrastructure without new construction.

Lighting a residential street or neighborhood?

‍For lower-profile residential settings, SCL2 offer a more scaled-down solar lighting solution suited to neighborhood streets, sized and styled for residential rather than commercial roadways.
