Description

Aspire 500 solar street light

The Aspire 500 is a road class solar street light for car parks, roadways and intersections, built to AS/NZS 1158 Category V. A 500 Wp monocrystalline panel and in pole LiFePO4 storage power the Aspire luminaire at 45 W to 75 W, programmed to suit each project and delivering up to 8,545 lumens all night.

Two to five 48 Ah battery modules sit secured inside the pole, from 2,458 Wh to 6,144 Wh, with up to four on a 6 m pole. On slip base roadway poles the batteries are installed above the vehicle impact zone, and the dual battery management system switches off automatically in an impact.

Tapered hot dip galvanised poles come in 6 m, 9 m and 10.5 m, on fixed or slip base foundations. Advanced Power Scaling (APS) holds a set brightness through the night and trims output only if the battery will not last until morning, giving an estimated 4 to 8+ nights of autonomy.

LEDiL T3 optics are standard, with T2 and T5 square available, in 4000K, 3000K or 590 nm turtle friendly. For higher output, a RoadLED Midi luminaire can be fitted for up to 150 W. Each system carries a 5 year complete unit warranty.

Key Features

Road class output. 45 W, 60 W or 75 W (5,743 / 7,228 / 8,545 lm) to AS/NZS 1158 Category V, or up to 150 W with a RoadLED Midi.

500 Wp solar capture. A single monocrystalline panel with stainless steel bird guards and optional panel guards.

Secure in pole storage. Two to five 48 Ah LiFePO4 modules of 1,229 Wh inside the pole, with dual padlock plate and door locks, rated for 4,000 to 6,000 cycles.

Built for roadways. Slip base poles keep the batteries above the impact zone, and the dual BMS shuts down automatically in a collision.

Poles from 6 m to 10.5 m. Hot dip galvanised tapered steel; 6 m fixed base, 9 m fixed or slip base, 10.5 m slip base with a 4.5 m arm.

Luminaire options. The Aspire LED luminaire as standard, or a Sylvania RoadLED Midi (60 W to 150 W, Category V tested) to suit the project.

Optional control and power. Bluetooth module and remote, pole mounted on/off switch, and a DC output for add on devices.

FAQ

Does the Aspire 500 meet AS/NZS 1158?

It is designed for AS/NZS 1158 Category V roads and intersections. The site lighting design confirms compliance for each layout, and a Category V tested RoadLED Midi luminaire is available.

Where are the batteries?

Inside the pole base, secured and hidden. A 6 m pole holds up to four modules; 9 m and 10.5 m poles hold up to five. On slip base poles they sit above the vehicle impact zone.

How many nights will it run without sun?

An estimated 4 to 8+ nights of autonomy, depending on the number of modules, power output and location.

Which pole and foundation should I choose?

6 m suits car parks; 9 m suits local roads and intersections; 10.5 m slip base suits main roads. Foundations are confirmed against site ground conditions and wind region.

What maintenance does it need?

Very little. Clean the solar panel periodically; LiFePO4 modules last 4,000 to 6,000 cycles depending on use.
