Ruta Solar Street Light

Smart, Sustainable, and Robust Urban Illumination

The Ruta, brought to you by Opto Solar, embodies the future of energy-saving outdoor lighting. Designed for versatility and built for resilience, the Ruta offers a sophisticated, off-grid lighting solution perfect for parks, pathways, municipal areas, and commercial perimeters. By integrating advanced solar technology with rugged mechanical design, the Ruta delivers reliable high-performance illumination exactly where you need it.

Key Features & Benefits

Advanced Solar & Battery Technology Forget trenching and cabling. The Ruta operates entirely on solar power, featuring a high-efficiency 42W solar panel integrated directly into its distinct fixture head. It utilizes advanced LiFePO4 batteries (ranging from 360wH to 700wH depending on the model) managed by an MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) charger to ensure maximum energy capture and storage efficiency, even on overcast days. Integrated charging indicators keep you informed of system status.

Engineered for Durability Built to withstand demanding European environments, the Ruta features a robust aluminium body constructed with stainless steel screws and silicone gaskets. It is finished with an electrostatic polyester powder coating that provides high thermal conductivity. The unit boasts impressive durability ratings, including:

• IP66 Protection Grade: Highly resistant to dust and powerful water jets.
• IK08 Impact Resistance: Protected against mechanical impact.
• In compliance with European Standards EN-60598.

Versatile Photometric Performance The Ruta is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution. It is available in 4-meter and 6-meter pole heights to suit various site requirements. The 4000K (neutral white) LED system can be configured for specific lighting distributions to match your project needs:

• One Way: Ideal for narrow paths (15W, 2250lm).
• Double Way: Perfect for wider walkways or roads (20W, 3000lm).
• Triple Way: Excellent for T-junctions or broader coverage (24W, 3600lm).
• Four Way: Complete 360-degree area illumination (28W, 4200lm).

Intelligent Control Maximize operating times with smart dimming capabilities. The Ruta offers various pre-programmed modes to balance brightness and battery life, such as running for 10 hours at 100% brightness, 13 hours at 50%, or utilizing hybrid dimming profiles to adapt to nighttime activity.

Operating Profile

• Utilizes a smart, energy-saving dimming profile: 6 hours at 100% output, followed by 6 hours at 50% output.
• Equipped with Hybrid & AC/DC charging capabilities for maximum reliability in varying weather conditions.

Ideal Applications

Thanks to its versatile pole height options (3m to 6m) and multiple optical configurations (One to Four-Way lighting distributions), the Ruta is designed for a wide range of urban and off-grid environments. It is ideally suited for:

• Parks and Recreational Areas: Perfect for lighting public gardens, playgrounds, and open green spaces where grid connection is difficult.
• Pedestrian & Cycling Infrastructure: The “One Way” and “Double Way” optical options provide targeted illumination for sidewalks, greenways, jogging paths, and bicycle routes.
• Residential Streets & Roadways: Suitable for lighting suburban streets, laneways, and access roads utilizing the 6m pole height option.
• Urban Public Spaces: The “Triple Way” and “Four Way” configurations offer broader coverage for town squares, plazas, and gathering areas.
• Commercial & Institutional Grounds: Reliable lighting for university campuses, business parks, and hospital grounds.
• Parking Areas & Perimeter Security: The rugged IK08 impact resistance and IP66 rating make it durable enough for parking lots and securing property boundaries.
• Off-Grid Locations: Any remote area requiring reliable nighttime visibility without the cost and disruption of trenching for electrical cables.
