Home Solar lighting blog Case studies Khelus village, Arcachon
Village Khelus is a residential park located in the Arcachon basin, a few kilometres from the Sunna Design factory. With 20 hectares of small residences in the heart of the Gironde pine forest, the village offers ideal accommodation all year round for holidaymakers or long-term residents.

For safety reasons, the village wanted to remove an obsolete outdoor lighting network. The site only included low-level bollard lighting at each intersection of the village’s lanes and the constraints associated with trench work as well as the energy savings provided by an autonomous lighting solution led the managers to opt for solar lighting.
The risk of damaging existing networks in the absence of construction plans, the narrowness of the tracks and the inconvenience caused by trench work led the Khelus Village to consider an alternative solution to maintain emergency lighting. The price competitiveness, the responsiveness of the Sunna team and the desire to work with a local economic player were decisive factors in the choice of the solution.
With its compact design and powerful lighting, the Up1 is perfectly suited to low-level beaconing, with no visual impact on the environment. It operates 365 days a year and can withstand extreme weather conditions. Last but not least, its Plug & Play function enables remote control via our SunnAPP application (profile modification according to season, with or without detection).
Dozens of residents and holidaymakers can now walk or drive through the driveways in complete safety. Equipped with high-performance lighting, they reassure residents against feelings of insecurity (burglary, etc.).
“Even when the flow of traffic is reduced to 20% in the middle of the night, the intersection area is clearly visible. When the flux is raised to 100% in the event of detection, you can clearly see the way home”.
