The Torres 360 Solar Area Light combines powerful off-grid capabilities with a sleek, modern design featuring a highly efficient vertical solar array that delivers long-lasting performance in virtually any climate. Its intelligent control system optimizes energy use, ensuring consistent output from a unique LED array and precision optics. Available in multiple configurations and pole heights, the Torres Solar light offers a sophisticated solution that balances sustainability, high performance, and resilience for outdoor lighting needs.
With its understated ‘gull wing’ shape, Torres for 360 Solar integrates advanced solar technology seamlessly into urban and architectural environments without overpowering the visual composition. Whether configured as a single luminaire or mounted back-to-back, the light serves a variety of applications, from pedestrian walkways to vehicular roadways. This solar-powered fixture is International Dark-Sky Approved, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious outdoor lighting projects.
Constructed from durable cast aluminum, the Torres 360 Solar housing features a factory-sealed and replaceable LED cartridge equipped with a UV-stable, impact-modified clear acrylic lens. All hardware is magni-coated to resist corrosion and provide anti-seize protection, with the entire assembly rated IP66 for robust weather resistance. The solar system components include one to three solar modules pre-wired with MPPT controllers and connectors, all linked via home-run cables to a control unit housed within the pole. This control unit, encased in a marine-grade anodized aluminum enclosure rated IP67, contains the solar control electronics, LED driver, and Lithium-NMC battery. Each battery and control unit is factory-programmed with voltage and drive current parameters tailored to its designated luminaire and performance needs.
The high-output LED light engine delivers up to 9,400 lumens with efficacy reaching 176 lumens per watt. It employs high-power LEDs on RoHS-compliant circuit boards with secondary optics offering various roadway distribution types. Available color temperatures include 2700K, 3000K, and 4000K, all maintaining a high color rendering index above 80 CRI. The luminaires meet TM21 standards with an L70 lifespan exceeding 60,000 hours and L90 rated at 48,000 hours at maximum operating current.
Beyond energy efficiency, the Torres 360 Solar Area Light is designed for longevity and sustainability. Its components are serviceable, with replaceable LED cartridges and recyclable aluminum and steel materials. The tenon-mounted luminaires can retrofit existing poles, and their warm white light, high color rendering, and adaptable aiming angles create a comfortable, secure ambiance. The advanced LED technology supports adaptive lighting and complies with occupancy codes, offering a wide range of configurations including outputs, drive currents, light distributions, and lens types, allowing lighting designers to customize solutions for diverse applications.
The solar technology features high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon cells with module powers ranging from 110 to 440 Wp, cell efficiencies above 24%, and four MPPT channels per module for optimized energy harvest. Solar modules are constructed with toughened borosilicate glass, finished in black, and sized at 8.0 inches by 43.7 inches. The control unit is securely mounted inside the pole with integrated temperature and humidity sensors, a lithium battery management system, and an electronic driver boasting over 97% efficiency. Battery options include 850 Wh and 1275 Wh capacities with operating temperatures from -5 to 140 °F and an estimated service life of around 10 years.
Smart features include global GNSS support (GPS, BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS), remote monitoring and configuration capabilities, and algorithmic dimming with the HelioSync™ system that adapts lighting based on astronomical time. The fixture is smart city ready, includes a five-year service plan with options for extension, and supports both over-the-air and over-the-cable firmware updates.
Torres poles are crafted from seamless aluminum alloy with oversized, lockable hand hole covers and are pre-drilled for specific mounting requirements before powder coating. They include flush top caps and cast aluminum base plates with decorative nut covers. Mounting hardware includes anchor bolts conforming to ASTM F1554 Grade 55 standards, complete with hex nuts, flat washers, and a galvanized “L” bend on the threaded end for secure installation.
Overall, the Torres 360 Solar Area Light represents a harmonious blend of innovative solar technology, durable construction, intelligent controls, and elegant design, delivering sustainable and adaptable outdoor lighting solutions suitable for a wide range of urban, commercial, and architectural environments.
