As a key component of the urban slow-moving system, walking paths carry the function of daily travelling and leisure walks for citizens. In the night or low light environment, the safety marking and lighting of the walking path is particularly important. Traditional lighting and marking methods, such as ground paint markings and ordinary street lights, have limited lighting effects at night and are susceptible to wear and fading caused by environmental factors. Especially in parks, communities and other areas, the traditional programme is difficult to meet both safety and aesthetic needs. As an innovative road safety facilities, solar studs provide a new direction to enhance the safety and aesthetics of the walkway.
high visibility lighting
solar road studs built-in high-brightness LED light source, with active light-emitting properties. In the night or rainy days and other low-light environment, the spike can provide clear and bright lighting. For example, in a neighbourhood walkway without street lights, solar pins can clearly outline the road boundary and help pedestrians identify potential hazards such as steps and obstacles, significantly reducing the risk of falling and getting lost.
Dynamic Warning Effect
Some solar road studs support dynamic light-emitting modes such as flashing and colour changing. At the intersection of pedestrian walkway and motorway, the studs flash in red to remind pedestrians to pay attention to oncoming vehicles; at the turning point, the yellow flashing studs prompt pedestrians to adjust their walking direction in advance. This dynamic warning effect can effectively attract the attention of pedestrians and significantly improve the safety factor of the walkway.
Clean energy utilisation
Solar road studs use solar energy as the only source of energy, achieving zero carbon emissions throughout the entire use cycle. For every Solar Road Studs installed, approximately [X] kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions are reduced per year. This feature is a perfect fit for green cities and reduces the negative impact of pedestrian lighting on the environment.
Low energy consumption
Solar Road Studsuse low-power chips and energy-saving LED light sources, resulting in very low average daily power consumption. Even in the winter when light conditions are poor, as long as there is a small amount of sunlight, the Solar Road Studs can absorb energy through the high-efficiency solar panels to meet the lighting needs for several hours at night, greatly reducing operating costs.
Simple Installation
The installation of Solar Road Studsdoes not require complicated wiring works. Embedded studs are simply punched into the surface of the walkway and then embedded; adhesive studs are fixed directly to the ground with special glue, making the construction process quick and easy, and having almost no impact on the normal use of the walkway. Whether it is a new pedestrian walkway project or an existing road renovation, the installation can be completed quickly.
Long life and low maintenance
Solar Road Studs housing is made of high-strength wear-resistant material, with IP65 or higher waterproof and dustproof rating, which can adapt to all kinds of bad weather. The internal batteries and LED lights are optimised for a service life of 5 – 8 years. Some products are also built-in intelligent monitoring system, real-time feedback work status, reduce the frequency of manual inspection, significantly reduce maintenance costs.
Guided Solar Road Studs
This type of Solar Road Studs is mainly used for walking paths in a straight line section and the turn, through continuous and stable light, clearly mark the road direction. In parks, they are evenly distributed along the edges of the paths to show pedestrians where to go even in the dead of night.
Warning Solar Road Studs
Warning Solar Road Studs is suitable for dangerous locations such as intersections, steps, ramps, construction areas and so on. For example, at the steps of the footpath near the school, the red flashing warning Solar Road Studscan remind students and parents to pay attention to the safety of their feet; around the construction area, the yellow warning spikes can effectively prevent pedestrians from entering by mistake.
Decorative Solar Road Studs
Decorative Solar Road Studs combine functionality with aesthetic design, and are often used in parks, scenic spots and other walking paths that focus on landscape effects. These Solar Road Studs can emit soft coloured light, in order to ensure that the lighting at the same time, to create a romantic and warm night atmosphere, to enhance the overall quality of the landscape.
Embedded studs
Embedded studs are installed flush with the surface of the walking path, which does not affect the walking comfort of pedestrians and has a strong resistance to wear and tear. In urban commercial districts and other high-traffic pedestrian streets, embedded studs can maintain stable performance even if they are subjected to long-term friction from pedestrians and cleaning equipment.
Surface-mounted studs
Surface-mounted studs are glued or bolted to the pavement, making the installation process flexible and easy. For temporary event venues or low-traffic walkways, such as trails in the community, surface-mounted studs can be quickly deployed to meet temporary lighting needs.
Commercial district pedestrian walkway
In the busy commercial district pedestrian walkway, solar road studs can not only enhance the safety at night, but also enhance the business atmosphere. For example, set up colourful decorative Solar Road Studs at the entrance of the pedestrian street to attract customers’ attention; install guiding spikes on both sides of the street to guide the flow of people to pass in an orderly manner and enhance the shopping experience.
Community Walkway
Community walkway is an important place for residents’ daily activities. Solar-powered Road Studs can ensure the safety of residents walking at night and children playing. After a community installed warning spikes on both sides of the walkway, the number of falls due to insufficient lighting was reduced by [X]%, and the residents’ sense of safety was significantly improved.
Campus Walkways
Walkways on campus connect areas such as academic buildings and dormitory areas. The solar-powered Road Studs ensure the safe movement of students and faculty on campus at night. Especially on the path from the library to the dormitory, the clear lighting provided by the solar Road Studs allows students to stop worrying about the safety of walking alone at night.
Park and Scenic Walking Paths
On walking paths in parks and scenic areas, solar Road Studs perfectly integrate safety lighting with landscape design. For example, blue decorative Road Studs are installed on lakeside walkways, reflecting the water’s reflection; green orientated Road Studs are arranged on forest trails, as if they are integrated into the natural environment, enhancing visitors’ night-time touring experience.
Waterfront Trail
The waterfront trail has a humid environment, which requires high waterproof performance of the Road Studs. Solar Road Studs can work stably in riverside and lakeside environments thanks to their excellent waterproof design. After the installation of solar Road Studs in a city waterfront walkway, there has been no failure due to water ingress, which ensures the safety of pedestrians.
Hiking Trail
On mountain walking trails, solar road studs can help hikers see the path in the early morning or evening. In the steep steps and sharp turns, the warning-type Road Studs reminds hikers to pay attention to safety with eye-catching flashing lights, effectively preventing the occurrence of accidents of getting lost and falling down.
