Description

Aspire 600 solar street light

The Aspire 600 is a high output solar street light built for highways, main roads and intersections to AS/NZS 1158 Category V. Twin 300 Wp monocrystalline panels (600 Wp total) and in pole LiFePO4 storage power LED output up to 150 W, programmed to suit each project and fully independent of mains power.

It is engineered for extreme wind loads and is cyclone rated to Wind Region C (239 km/h). Tapered octagonal hot dip galvanised poles at 9 m and 10.5 m sit on slip base foundations for roadways, with fixed base available.

Three to five 48 Ah battery modules are secured inside the pole, from 3,686 Wh to 6,144 Wh, above the vehicle impact zone. Advanced Power Scaling (APS) holds a set brightness through the night, giving an estimated 4 to 8+ nights of autonomy and exceeding the 48 hour autonomy requirement of Main Roads WA.

The Aspire luminaire runs at 60 W, 75 W or 95 W with LEDiL T3 optics as standard, or a RoadLED Midi can be fitted for up to 150 W and 18,140 lumens. Each system carries a 5 year complete unit warranty.

Key Features

Highway output. 60 W to 95 W with the Aspire luminaire (up to 10,105 lm), or up to 150 W and 18,140 lm with a RoadLED Midi.

600 Wp solar capture. Twin 300 Wp monocrystalline panels, with stainless steel bird guards and optional panel guards.

Cyclone rated. Engineered for extreme wind loads and rated to Wind Region C (239 km/h).

Secure in pole storage. Three to five 48 Ah LiFePO4 modules of 1,229 Wh inside the pole, above the impact zone, with dual padlock plate and door locks.

Roadway poles. 9 m with a 3.0 m arm or 10.5 m with a 4.5 m arm, tapered octagonal and hot dip galvanised inside and out, on slip base or fixed base foundations.

Category V roads. Designed for AS/NZS 1158 Category V, with a Category V tested luminaire option.

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

(1) Power and delivered lumens depend on location; output is programmed to suit each project. (2) Advanced Power Scaling holds a preset brightness through the night and reduces LED power to a safe minimum only if the battery will not last until morning. (3) Aspire luminaire lumens shown for the T3 optic at 4000K; other optics and colour temperatures vary, and IES files are available on request.

FAQ

Is the Aspire 600 suitable for cyclone regions?

Yes. It is rated to Wind Region C (239 km/h). Foundations are confirmed against site ground conditions before installation.

Does it meet Main Roads autonomy requirements?

It exceeds the 48 hour autonomy requirement of Main Roads WA, with a reserve of 3 to 4 days of cloud cover.

Aspire 500 or Aspire 600?

The Aspire 500 suits car parks and local roads at up to 75 W with the Aspire luminaire. The Aspire 600 adds twin panels, cyclone rating and the Aspire luminaire at up to 95 W for highways and main roads.

What happens if a vehicle hits the pole?

Slip base poles break away on impact. The batteries sit above the impact zone and the dual BMS switches off automatically.

What maintenance does it need?

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