This is a trial of Technology not the column and LED
Shrewsbury Town Council is currently trialling a solar lamp with the idea to start them from Kingsland Bridge and continue towards Grey Friars Bridge. This is to light the footpath to improve public safety.
The trial has been made possible by OG2 Lighting Ltd. The location of this lamp is just past the Kingsland Bridge heading towards Greyfriars.
Please note – Permanent columns will be black with a Dark Grey head.
The PIR system on this lamp means that to conserve energy the lamp will only illuminate as a person walks by and after a set amount of time the lamp will turn off.
The LED is currently set to 3 volts which is roughly 25% of its capacity. Again this is not the final LED as a softer light is preferred.
Using this system it is estimated that the lamp would illuminate fully for 17 days from a full charge. A full charge is approx 10 hours trickle charge from an average amount of daylight.
