Solar Highmast Lighting Solution in Sutherland
BEKA Schréder is proud to have supplied the solar highmast lighting solution at the Sutherland Community Health Centre in the Northern Cape province, complying with regulations as defined in the Government Gazette regarding lighting within the Sutherland Central Astronomy Advantage Area.
The Sutherland Community Health Centre required an area lighting solution to enhance safety for both staff and patients visiting the clinic. Solar lighting was selected to avoid adding strain to the existing electrical infrastructure, and it also proved to be the most cost-effective option over time compared to a grid-connected installation. Additionally, a solar-powered lighting system aligns with sustainability goals, reducing carbon emissions and advancing green technology initiatives.
BEKA Schréder was the sole provider able to fulfil the unique requirements of the Sutherland Central Astronomy Advantage Area lighting standards. The South-African designed and manufactured SOLARFLOOD solar highmast lighting solution with Amber LED’s, raked at 0° and dimmed to 30% to comply with regulations, was supplied.
