SolarLite S Series Surface Studs

Smart, Safe and Sustainable surface mounted road stud. Proven to increase night time road safety. Providing a view of the road layout ahead, in the drivers natural line of vision, well beyond the headlight beam of a vehicle.

Benefits

Proven reduction in night time accidents by over 70% on current UK installations
10 time greater visibility for drivers than traditional reflective road studs
Additional "preview" time for drivers on winding roads
Ability to see road delineation in reduced visibility caused by fog, rain or surface spray
Highlights sharp bends, dips in the road and other hazards.
Visible delineation on wet roads where white lines become invisible due to impaired reflected light.
Lower lifetime cost than traditional reflective road studs
Highly visible and newsworthy contribution to road safety
Effective additional driver safety when used in conjunction with street light reduction schemes

Reliable all night, all year round performance
Totally sustainable harnessing free solar energy
Use where street lighting is either unavailable, not cost effective or environmentally not possible
Superior battery and charging circuits designed to maintain light outputs throughout a full annual cycle.
Suitable for all edge of carriageway applications.
Additional retro-reflectivity from prismatic corner cube reflectors

Making do with substantial visibility on the road is a recipe for disaster, collisions and in the worst case scenario, fatalities.

Conventional cats eyes studs are becoming outmoded and will soon be obsolete thanks to a more innovative, safer and reliable method of delineation.
SolarLite S Series Studs deliver 10 x greater visibility of the layout of the road ahead and have already reduced road accidents by over 70% at their UK installation sites. What's more, since they charge and activate via natural sunlight, they don't rely on headlight reflection.

Let's put that into perspective. As a motorist driving at a speed of 100km/h (62mph), your reaction time to scope out the road ahead is predicted to be over 30 seconds. That's a dramatic difference compared with conventional retro-reflective road studs which offer you only 3.2 seconds.

Even in poor conditions (rain and fog or surface spray) where traditional retro-reflectors and road markings are less visible, SolarLite surface studs continue to shine brightly guiding you safely.

SolarLite surface studs are also more robust and durable than traditional road studs meaning they've a lower overall cost than a retro-reflective road stud and better longevity.

Just a few hours of daylight will provide enough battery power to last days - more than enough to ensure the system operates all year round whatever the weather and wherever the location in the world.

The Astucia SolarLite S Series Surface Studs mount studs are ideal for use in locations where enhanced delineation is required but flush filling may not be possible.

The SolarLite S Series is fully Type Approved by the United Kingdom Department for Transport.
