With Solux luminaires, you benefit from the highest
performance in solar outdoor lighting. Discover what sets us
apart and why our solutions are synonymous with quality and durability.
Our luminaires are built to resist the harshest conditions over time, which is why we use aluminum, an excellent material for natural corrosion resistance. We also emphasize advanced surface treatments and coatings.
We chose AKZO NOBEL powder coating for its outstanding resistance in extreme conditions. Together, aluminum and AKZO NOBEL powder coating ensure Solux luminaires withstand high temperatures, humidity, UV discoloration from prolonged sun exposure, and salt corrosion from coastal areas.

The battery is the key component of solar lighting solutions. Quality battery technology determines the performance, lifespan, and cost of a solar luminaire.
From the beginning, Solux has chosen the LIFEPO4 Lithium battery, which guarantees an operating lifetime of over 10 years and 5000 cycles.
Many manufacturers, due to lack of knowledge or cost-saving measures, opt for other technologies like Lithium Ion or NiMH, resulting in poor product quality and shorter lifespans.
With over 500,000 products installed worldwide in various climates, Solux batteries have proven their quality and performance.

Test realised in our laboratory on a selection of a range of both Solux & commercial batteries
*Depth of Discharge (DoD) measures how much of a battery's capacity has been used, expressed as a percentage. It is calculated by dividing the discharged capacity by the battery's total capacity. For instance, a 1000 Wh battery discharged by 250 Wh has a DoD of 25%.

High temperatures can drastically reduce a battery’s lifespan. Our solution is to encapsulate our batteries in aluminum waterproof casings, ensuring excellent heat dissipation. The design also allows natural airflow, keeping the battery at ambient temperature.

High temperatures greatly affect the battery’s lifetime. This is why our batteries are encapsulated in an aluminum waterproof casing for a perfect heat dissipation. In addition to that, the casing enjoy a natural airflow which keeps the battery to ambient temperature.
Our LED modules are designed for unmatched longevity, featuring PHILIPS LED Chips known for their superior performance and robustness, with a lifespan exceeding 80,000 hours and efficiency of over 196 Lumens per Watt.
To further enhance reliability, our luminaires include electronic protection against overheating and feature advanced temperature management.
By keeping LED module temperatures significantly below maximum limits, we ensure an extended lifespan and safer, more effective performance.
Our lenses will allow you to maximize light direction and control

Solux solutions are equipped with microwave detectors that utilize the Doppler effect, similar to car radars, to detect presence and measure distance. These sensors emit high-frequency waves that bounce off objects to analyze presence.
The benefits of microwave detectors include:
Much higher reliability compared to infrared detectors.
Up to 360° directivity.
Insensitivity to environmental variations such as light, color, and temperature.
Long and stable detection range.
Microwaves technology
The charge controller is the brain of the solar lighting system. It regulates and protects the battery charge while managing the lighting and its programming.
The electronics of the Solux controller are fully encapsulated in an aluminum box, ensuring both tightness and excellent heat dissipation. Additionally, the controller safeguards all components against:
Overload / Overcurrent / Overtemperature / Overvoltage / Overdischarge
In a search for performance and reliability, our products are equipped with MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology controller offering the best charging efficiency on the market.
SOLUX BRIDGE allows the control of luminaires such like
Programming Real-time operation monitoring Faul alert Location Operation history
Automatic schedule control
In order to facilitate all maintenance operations and especially to diagnose any possible problem without having to intervene mechanically on the luminaire, Solux luminaires are equipped with a Wireless diagnosis system via remote control. With a simple click get real-time information such as:
Automatic diagnosis in the event of a malfunction
