Limiting civil works, reduce the energy bill and avoid co-property charges represent the main advantages of solar lighting of residential areas.
Residential lighting must provide a comfortable, safe and non-intrusive environment. It is necessary to light all night long but not necessarily at full power during the middle of the night/off peak hour. And even more if there is no one !
What type of lighting for a solar streetlight in a housing estate ?
- Recommended average lighting level from 7,5 to 10 lux
- Colour temperature : 3000 K maximum for the best luminous efficiency. A temperature between 2200K and 2700K is also recommended for greater respect of biodiversity.
Case study
Light height: 5m
Lighting data: 15.5 W / 2598 lumens / 3000 K / ASY 26
Average lighting level: 10,5 lux / Uniformity: 0,42
Every project is unique ! We carry-out tailor-made lighting studies
Which programme ?
Programmation enables to light just the right way by adapting the programme to use and traffic of the lane, but also to limit light disturbances and the sizing of the streetlight, thus the use of primary resources.

The detection system is an efficient tool for lighting residential areas and providing safety for users. It can also be communicative thanks to our NOVMOOV option, which synchronises the lighting of a group of luminaires to form a light path that follows the progress of users.
