How to Light Paving using Solar Power from HotBeam

Light Paving using the SolarBrick®
Completely self-contained, premium product, no battery, solar powered

The SolarBrick® is a self-contained solar powered light designed for traffic and decorative uses. This device is waterproof, easy to install and can be driven over by vehicles. The SolarBrick is available in 6 bright colours. It comes in 4 standard sizes, 200x200mm square, 200x100mm rectagular, 100x100mm small squre and 100mm round. All sizes are 60mm in height.

How It Works
Rechargeable batteries currently used in conventional solar devices need battery replacement every 2-3 years. They also have a narrow working temperature range. The SolarBrick uses a super ultracapacitor called the EnergyCache™ to store its charge. The EnergyCache enables the SolarBrick to be used in any environment without maintenance for more than 10 years and has a wide operating temperature range of -40° to 75°C.

During the day, solar energy is converted to electricity through the solar cells and stored in the ultracapacitor. At night, the inviting soft glow from the light emitting diode (LED) is automatically turned on. Full charge takes 1 hour under direct midday summer sunlight and 6-8 hours under overcast conditions. The light stays "on" for more than 12 hours from a fully charged ultracapacitor. See the Technology section for more information about the EnergyCache.

Sizes
The SolarBrick is available in four sizes: 200 x 200mm square, 200 x 100mm rectangular, 100 x 100mm small squre, 100mm round.

Colours
The SolarBrick is available in the following colours: White, Green, Blue, Amber, Orange and Red.

Customisation
The SolarBrick Logo can be customised to display a logo, direction or other design. Along with all the advantages of the regular SolarBrick, the SolarBrick Logo allows you to communicate a message.
