Urban Solar illuminates Florida transit agency

HART chose Urban Solar RMS Series lighting systems to illuminate its Wiregrass park-n-ride facility.

Urban Solar has installed its RMS Series solar lighting systems at the Hillsborough Area Transit Authority (HART) Wiregrass park-n-ride facility located in Wesley Chapel, Fla.

Just as well-lit bus shelters enhance safety and encourage the use of public transit, well-lit parking lots instantly make people feel safe while walking to and from their vehicles, says Urban Solar. All HART park-n-ride facilities are well-lit for user safety. 

Installing grid-connected lighting at the Wiregrass park-n-ride facility would have invariably led to significant costs for trenching and cabling, as well as major site disruption. Alternatively, HART chose Urban Solar RMS Series lighting systems to illuminate the facility. The 13 systems installed provide dusk to dawn illumination of the entire parking lot surface. 

Like all Urban Solar lighting systems, RMS Series systems are UL-listed as complete systems for safety and carry a 10-year warranty. To maximize the battery life, given the hot summers in the Tampa area, the RMS120 systems installed at Wiregrass park-n-ride use Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) batteries.
