The Taillan Avenue in Eysines, a bustling community in southwest France, is a critical route for local commuters. This area has recently faced frequent cable theft, a recurring issue that has led to numerous power outages. This vandalism not only posed significant risks for motorists and cyclists but also created high maintenance costs for the municipality. To address this, Eysines opted for an innovative and sustainable approach: autonomous solar lighting.
Eysines – FRANCE
Ensuring the safety of this busy avenue became a top priority for the municipality. Eysines needed a reliable, wireless lighting solution that could deter vandalism. Additionally, they aimed to reduce maintenance costs and limit technical interventions to keep spending in check. Finally, the solution had to integrate seamlessly with existing poles to minimize construction time and installation expenses. With these goals in mind, the city turned to Sunna Design and its autonomous solar lighting solutions.
Sunna Design selected its UP range of compact, intelligent solar streetlights to meet these needs. These retrofit-friendly products adapt to existing poles, allowing for faster installation and reduced operational costs. In total, 12 UP2 streetlights were installed at night to avoid disrupting traffic. Now, they provide complete lighting coverage tailored to the needs of the avenue.
The lighting schedules are also programmed for automatic shut-off between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m., per local regulations. The city of Eysines can easily adjust these schedules via the SunnAPP mobile monitoring app, which also provides real-time lamp status and allows for efficient maintenance management.
Eysines strategically invested in modern, long-lasting infrastructure by choosing autonomous solar lighting. This setup ensures Taillan Avenue users have dependable, functional lighting while enabling the city to avoid costly cable theft repairs, resulting in substantial savings. This initiative demonstrates how municipalities can turn challenges into opportunities, modernize and secure their public spaces, and optimize budgets with Sunna Design’s innovative solutions.
