When only the best will do, our BL range of commercial grade solar billboard lighting systems is your only choice. This is one of our most powerful solar billboard lighting systems. It's supplied as a complete, professional system, and includes a pair of powered, solar powered, billboard lights. Perfect for illuminating outdoor advertising throughout the hours of darkness.
This high-end, commercial grade, custom, solar billboard light system is engineered specifically for the billboard industry, and is designed and assembled at our USA headquarters located in SW Florida. Our powerful LED light fixture utilizes optic technology to uniformly illuminate the whole billboard surface from top to bottom and left to right. Depending on the dimensions of the billboard poster, this will determine the fixture quantity and the LED power. We offer a choice of LED power from 10W to 35W. Using highly efficient LEDs at 150lm/W we can offer an output of between 1,500 and 5,250 lumens. Our solar billboard systems can be specially designed for your geographic location and with a nightly illumination time of yours choice. A single or dual timed mode is available, or simple automatic dusk to dawn. Our lighting systems can be fully customized to increase illumination time if required. We supply this as a complete, ready-to-install solution and includes the light fixtures, mounting arms, metal lockable battery enclosure, programmable MPPT charge controller, powerful solar panels with mounting brackets. As a 24V DC system, it includes a pair of high quality, high capacity 12V AGM rechargeable batteries. Everything about this system is designed to be quick and easy to install, with plug and play connections, and universal hardware. Our sophisticated MPPT charge controller operates at peak efficiencies greater than 95%, which is 30% more efficient than most conventional charge controllers (PWM). It also controls the lighting activation, offering unique illumination programmability. This allows you to get the most out of your allotted illumination time. With our charge controller you can choose to illuminate your lights from sunset for 8 hours, or for a set period of time in the evening and in the morning. We supply the LED light fixtures and solar panels with plenty feet of pre-wired cable, so that they can easily be installed on most structures without modification. Since we manufacture this product in house, it’s easy for us to modify and tailor it to suit your needs. Please contact our sales department regarding questions or customization.
As this is a custom-built solution, it can be designed as per your requirements. This includes the nightly illumination time. The system can be designed and pre-programmed to automatically operate at dusk and turn off at dawn all year round. This could be up to 15 hours or more allowing for the longest night of the year (December 21st). Or the system can be designed and pre-programmed to automatically to operate on a single or dual timed mode for 8 hours total. A single timed mode would provide automatic illumination at dusk for x number of hours and then turn off. A dual timed mode would provide automatic illumination at dusk for x number of hours, then turn off, then turn back on again for x number of hours before dawn. Other timed options and configurations are available upon request.
Please note, the specifications of the sign lighting system are determined by several factors. These factors include the geographic location of the installation site, the total LED power (Wattage), and the total number of hours of operation. It's these factors that determine the solar panel wattage and the battery capacities and some of the other components required to create the entire system.

Please Note:
This product is a special order and is non-returnable except in the event of a fault (during its warranty period) when the product, once returned will be repaired or replaced. The solar panel must be installed in a location where it can receive full direct sunshine (when available) and usually set facing South at an appropriate angle (where adjustment options allow). The solar panel must not be installed in a shaded or part shaded location and never indoors. The standard specifications of the system (particularly the solar panel Wattage and battery capacity) may need to be adjusted. These components are determined by your geographic location, power consumption (LED Wattage) and the total amount of hours of illumination time required. Such changes to the standard specifications may increase or decrease the cost shown. Please contact us for more information or assistance. The illumination time is estimated and subject to various factors including (but not limited to) geographic location, seasons, temperature, weather conditions & location of product etc. The illumination time of most solar lights can reduce during winter months when the weather is poor and the days are shorter. During this time insolation hours decrease accordingly. Shorter illumination time due to one or more of the above factors does not define the product as being ‘defective’ or ‘not as described’. All solar lights must be used in a completely dark location at night time otherwise they may not illuminate. Nearby strong lighting sources or ambient lighting may affect the operation of a solar light. This does not define the product as being 'defective' or 'not as described'. Please note, if you do not install or use this product for several months the battery may discharge naturally on its own. By allowing a battery to deep discharge it may cause irreversible damage as the battery may then lose the ability to recharge or hold a full charge. Although unlikely, we reserve the right to supply this product with any minor alterations or minor changes to the specifications (shown above by text description or by photographs) due to different supplies or product batches received, incorporating such product changes made by the manufacturer, without further notice. Descriptions, specifications and photographs are updated regularly but may not be current when minor changes to a product have only recently been made.
