How it works

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

Conventional parking lot 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 lot, 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 the lot 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.

Runs on 2-3 hours of sunlight

Up to 21 days of autonomy without a full charge, compared with the 3–5 days typical of other solar lighting.

10+ year battery life

FLT All-Weather™ LiFePO4 chemistry holds up in extreme heat and cold, with 2,000+ charge cycles for 10+ year battery life inside a 20+ year fixture.

Grid dependency

Hardwired

Copper wiring is exposed and theft-prone
Higher lifecycle costs from trenching and utilities
Slower install with trenching through paved lots
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

How much does solar parking lot lighting cost compared to installing electrical service to a lot?
Arrow

FLT solar parking lot lights remove trenching, conduit, wiring, and electrician labor from the project, which often makes total installed cost lower than running electrical service to a lot.

How many solar lights do I need to properly light a commercial parking lot?
Arrow

Spacing depends on pole height, fixture output, and required foot-candle levels. FLT provides a free photometric layout to size and place fixtures for your lot.

Do solar parking lot lights meet commercial lighting code and foot-candle requirements?
Arrow

Yes. FLT area/parking lot fixtures are engineered to meet standard commercial foot-candle requirements, verified per site with a photometric study.

How long does it take to install solar lighting across an entire parking lot?
Arrow

Each FLT fixture installs in under 30 minutes with one person, no electrician, and no electrical permit, so a full lot can be lit in days, not weeks.

Do solar parking lot lights work during long winters or cloudy weeks?
Arrow

Yes. FLT ChargeWell™ panels and All-Weather™ batteries store multiple days of autonomy, and are engineered for cold climates and reduced winter sunlight.

Can solar parking lot lights integrate with security cameras or motion sensors?
Arrow

Select FLT fixtures support motion sensing and can be paired with site security systems as part of your lighting layout.

Do solar parking lot lights require trenching through existing asphalt?
Arrow

No. FLT fixtures are self-contained and bolt directly to a base or footing, so there is no need to cut or re-pave existing asphalt.

How long do FLT parking lot light batteries last?
Arrow

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

Are solar parking lot lights vandal- and theft-resistant?
Arrow

With no exposed copper wiring and rugged all-weather housings, FLT fixtures remove the most common theft and tampering targets of hardwired lighting.

Is solar lighting a good fit for phased parking lot developments?
Arrow

Yes. Because each fixture is independent of the grid, FLT lets you light finished sections of a lot immediately without waiting on utility work for later phases.
