Solar street lights and other street light solutions using advanced solar technology

The Albuquerque Follows the Trend of Solar Powering Technology

Cities are using solar powering lights to replace their Old Town Streetlights. This becomes the mainstream or trend. And we are glad to see many countries are promoting the use of solar street lights. This time the historical old city Albuquerque is also using solar lights as city night lights.

The lights illuminating Old Town were originally gas-fed and later electrified with 100 and 200 watt bulbs which Visible Light Solar is retrofitting with 21 and 42 watt LED lights. Many of the retrofitted gas lamps will also incorporate solar cells custom designed to be invisible to the multitude of visitors who tour the historic neighborhood each year. The retrofitted Old Town fixtures will consume, on average, 80% less electricity and require far less maintenance than their predecessors.

More than 80 gas lamp style fixtures illuminate the streets and central square of Old Town Albuquerque, the city’s historic and cultural center. Founded in 1706, the Old Town district follows the traditional Spanish-colonial pattern of a central plaza and church surrounded by homes and businesses. “Our job is to cherish and preserve this city’s architectural treasures while preparing it for the challenges of rising energy costs and climate change,” said Mayor Berry. “Visible Solar street lights allowed us to embrace 21st century energy efficient lighting technology without sacrificing the aesthetic beauty of these irreplaceable 19th century fixtures.” These gas lamps use gas which is running out all over the world and produce greenhouse gases.

Some people love traditional energy and think we should not betray our tradition. But it’s not real, hundreds or years ago, people eat their own kind, if they stick to this tradition. We will be driven crazy.

In the future, utilizing Visible Light Solar’s patent-pending power management and control software, the Old Town lights can be programmed to change brightness — low illumination for weddings or brighter illumination for late-night security — and simulate the flicker of the original gas-fed lighting. Additionally, the City can choose to incorporate motion sensing, wireless WIFI or security camera installations.

This should not be far from our real life. If people do not stick to their interest of using traditional energy, we can retrofit any light fixture on the planet. And greenshine new energy is always trying to figure out how make these thing come to truth.
