How it works

No Trenching, No Wiring, No Grid, No Problem.

Conventional outdoor lighting starts below ground, and that's where the cost, delay, and risk start too. FLT skips all of it.

1. Plan your layout.
Choose the right fixture for your application, we'll help you get it right.
2. Bolt it down.
One person, under 30 minutes, no electrician and no electrical permit.
3. It runs itself.
Every unit charges by day and lights by night, automatically, for decades.

Installs in under 30 minutes

A single person can deploy a unit start to finish, which takes electrical delays off your critical path.

Captures and converts more energy, even in partial shade

Full-surface FLT Active Cell™ panels capture more usable sunlight than standard cells, while FLT ChargeLogic™ converts it efficiently even in shade, cold or low light.

Hardwired

Copper wiring is exposed and theft-prone
Higher lifecycle costs from trenching and utilities
Slower install with trenching and electrical work
Vulnerable to blackouts and brownouts

Solar

No copper wire to steal
Lower lifecycle costs with no utility bills
Faster install with minimal site disruption
Operates independently of the grid

“If we were looking at 3,000 linear feet, that would be about $60K in conduit pricing that you don’t have to use anymore with FLT. That’s significant savings.”

Frequently asked questions

What is commercial solar lighting and how does it work?
Arrow

FLT commercial solar fixtures use a high-efficiency solar panel to charge an internal battery during the day, then power an integrated LED automatically from dusk to dawn, no trenching, wiring, or grid connection required.

How much does FLT commercial solar lighting cost compared to traditional electrical lighting?
Arrow

While unit cost can be higher upfront, FLT typically costs less installed once you remove trenching, conduit, wiring, and electrician labor, and there are no ongoing utility bills.

Do FLT solar lights work in cold climates or areas with limited winter sunlight?
Arrow

Yes. FLT ChargeWell™ panels and All-Weather™ batteries are engineered for extreme heat and cold, and units hold multiple days of autonomy without a full charge.

How long does it take to install FLT commercial solar lighting on a new development?
Arrow

A single person can install most FLT fixtures in under 30 minutes each, with no electrician or electrical permit needed.

Do FLT commercial solar lights require an electrical permit or grid connection?
Arrow

No. Because FLT fixtures are fully self-contained and solar-powered, they typically do not require an electrical permit or utility connection.

How long do FLT solar lighting batteries last?
Arrow

FLT batteries use LiFePO4 chemistry rated for 2,000+ charge cycles, delivering a 10+ year fixture life under normal use.

Is FLT solar lighting bright enough for commercial security or safety requirements?
Arrow

Yes. FLT fixtures are designed to meet standard commercial lighting levels for safety and security, with output and schedules tailored per site during a free photometric layout.

What maintenance do FLT solar lights require?
Arrow

FLT lights are designed to run maintenance-free for years, there is no wiring to inspect, no conduit to maintain, and no utility service to manage.

Can FLT solar lights be used across parking lots, streets, and pathways on the same property?
Arrow

Yes. FLT offers a full family of fixtures, street lights, area/parking lot lights, and bollards, so an entire property can run on one consistent, permit-free lighting system.

Is solar lighting more secure than hardwired lighting?
Arrow

Solar lighting removes exposed copper wiring, which is a common theft target, and continues operating independently during grid outages or brownouts.
