GFS-400

Solar Street Light

The GFS-400 is a high-output off-grid solar street light for roadways, car parks, intersections and perimeter security areas, delivering reliable all-night lighting where grid-connected lighting is too costly or impractical.

Widely used by local governments and the construction, transport and mining sectors across Australia.

Description

GFS-400 solar street light

The GFS-400 is a rugged solar street light engineered in Australia for road class lighting where a grid connection is too costly or impractical. Twin 225 Wp monocrystalline panels (450 Wp total) on a hot dip galvanised Q355 steel pole power an LED luminaire at 45 W, 60 W or 75 W, delivering up to 8,545 lumens all night.

It is used on roadways, intersections, car parks and perimeter security areas, and on remote construction, mining and local government sites. Poles are available at 6 m, 9 m and 10.5 m, with single or twin arms and fixed or slip base foundations, so the same system suits a car park or a roadway.

Storage is two sealed GEL 24 V batteries (2,640 Wh) as standard, or LiFePO4 48 Ah modules at 1,229 Wh each. Advanced Power Scaling (APS) holds a set brightness through the night and trims LED output only if the battery will not last until morning, giving an estimated 3 to 7+ nights of autonomy.

LEDiL T3 optics are standard, with T2 and T5 square available to suit the road layout, and 4000K, 3000K or 590 nm turtle friendly colour temperatures. Each system is backed by a 5 year complete unit warranty, and optional lighting designs can be prepared for the site before supply.

(1) Power and delivered lumens depend on location. (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) Lumens shown for the T3 optic at 4000K; other optics and colour temperatures vary, and IES files are available on request. Other pole heights on request.

FAQ

How many nights will the GFS-400 run without sun?

An estimated 3 to 7+ nights of autonomy, depending on battery, power output and location.

Should I choose GEL or LiFePO4 batteries?

Sealed GEL 24 V (2,640 Wh) is standard. LiFePO4 comes in 48 Ah modules of 1,229 Wh each, which suits sites needing more storage.

Which optic and colour temperature do I need?

T3 suits most roadways and car parks; T2 suits narrower layouts and T5 square suits wide open areas. 4000K is standard, 3000K suits residential areas, and 590 nm is available near turtle nesting habitat. The site lighting design confirms the right combination.

What wind regions can it be installed in?

The standard 6 m pole is rated to AS/NZS 1170.2 wind region C. Other regions and pole heights are engineered per project, and wind documentation can be supplied for approval.

What maintenance does it need?

Very little. Clean the solar panels periodically and replace the batteries as needed over the life of the system.
