UK - A new range of solar-powered LED tiles have been introduced by the Light Projects Group. Based on an original concept by Sutton Vane Associates, the Tsola is a recessed LED unit - suitable for both horizontal and vertical applications - which uses natural daylight to create energy-free lighting. It is available in two sizes (198 x 99mm or 198 x 198mm) and in six standard LED colours: red, green, blue, amber, orange and white.

Able to charge in both clear and overcast conditions, a waterproof IP68 rating, and operating temperature between -40°C and 70°C and resistance to point and impact load, Tsola tiles can be used in the most demanding applications, say Light Projects. As it requires no electrical supply or maintenance, it is ideal for retro-fitting to existing areas where it is unacceptable or impractical to lay new electrical cable. It can also be installed by non-electrical certified personnel.

The unit uses a pseudo-capacitor rather than batteries to maximize efficiency and longevity and to facilitate the all-weather charging. The unit features an automatic cut-on/off level at 150 lux as well as high performance LEDs.
