As the first to market, we’ve engineered off-grid solar street lighting for the UK climate and market since 2011, now with over 15,000 solar lights installed up and down the UK.
Prolectric’s Street Lighting 3-PIR sensor is the only light, unique to the market, offering detection for a wider range of motion. Up to 20m detection with 15m in front and 12m to each side.
Prolectric Permanent Solar Street Lighting is Dark Sky approved, meaning our products are certified by a third-party objectively. Designs and projects produce minimal glare, reducing light trespass, and don’t pollute the night sky.
We are the market leader in solar lighting for streets, car parks and footpaths. We were the first to introduce solar-only permanent street lights, over 13 years ago, to the UK market, we have now installed tens of thousands of lights nationally, all engineered specifically for the UK. Providing year-round, permanent solar street lighting which is simple to install and requires no external electrical power.
The AE3 is a medium to high power solar street light, integrating all components, making the installation and maintenance easy, saving labour and maintenance costs. Its rational design and high-quality materials make it secure, capable of better heat dissipation, its waterproof and is anti-corrosive, ensuring endurance against harsh environments and prevents premature failure. Adopting a modular design with IP66 rated major components –
the structural parts are made of high tensile aluminium alloy.
Our AE3 model split-type consists of an off-grid solar system, of up to 90W and a battery capability of up to 615Wh. The LED light head satisfying the needs of complicated street lighting. The users can adjust the direction of solar panel and LED light head depending on the site requirements, to reach the best energy utilisation and lighting effect. The lens design enhances lighting effect, improving lighting uniformity and the design also extends light coverage, providing more comprehensive illumination. With a unique cut-off design, the optic lens eliminates light pollution, contributing to environmental preservation.
Smooth and responsive dimming is enabled using a Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) smart-controller that activates via the motion sensor built into the system. Our PIR system is a unique industry offering, providing a 3-PIR sensor for wider motion detection, giving up to 20m detection; 15m forwards and 12m either side.
A dual and innovative LiFePO4 lithium-ion battery system withstands repeated charging and discharging cycles. The batteries depth of discharge has been increased from 60% to 90% and the cycle life is 5 times that of lead-acid batteries. The battery also features an exclusive battery technology that extends its lifespan to over 8 years.
The lights can be installed on columns up to 8m. With our street light system being a split-type, we recommend our products are fixed at a static angle for compliance and wind-loading. In some instances, in Northern Scotland for example, a more acute angle may be required and we have engineered a bracket to enable this. Variable angle brackets are liable to not be compliant for wind loading and we suggest to avoid these.
This is a standalone solution made to setup-and-forget with a 5-year warranty. For a no obligation consult, contact on of our solution specialists.

Our street lights are fixed at a static angle for wind-loading and compliance. In some instances, like in Northern Scotland, a more acute angle may be required and we have engineered a bracket to enable this. Variable angle brackets are liable to not be compliant for wind-loading, we therefore recommend not using them when possible.

The AE3 is a medium to high power split-type solar street light integrating all components such as the solar panel, outdoor LED, LiFePO4 battery, intelligent controller and PIR sensor together. Such design makes the installation and maintenance easy, saving labour and maintenance costs.
The AE3 luminaire is a high-quality, year round, solar powered LED unit providing permanent lighting without the need for external electrical power.
The lights are simple, quick and economical to install. With no need to dig trenches or install trunking for cables, installation costs can be halved compared to conventional mains power alternatives.
The only light offering detection for a wider range of motion. Our specially-developed smart light controller and Passive Infra Red (PIR) sensor works to ensure the solar LED light lasts from dusk until dawn, even on the darkest days and are proven to operate throughout the UK winter, as tested in Scotland!
Our specialist knowledge of solar lighting design and deployment has helped us to gather feedback from customers and work with manufacturing partners to develop lighting solutions that operate reliably in UK conditions to British Lighting standards.
Column specification in line with the applicable standards must be considered when selecting this product. We take great care to work with our customers to ensure the properties of their solar street lights and final selection of column for installation is carried out to comply with the environment in which it is utilised.
