Active Lights light up yet another bike path!
The small town of Kungälv in west Sweden has installed Active Lights along 75 m of bike path where traditional lighting cannot be installed. Six low light fittings using solar energy powered lighting will be attached to the Z-Elips fencing between the bike path and the roadway.
Kungälv has an energy plan with ambitious climate and energy targets. To reach these targets Kungälv must use more effective energy and more renewable energy sources. Using solar powered lighting can be a major contribution towards using energy more effectively. And what is more, the bike path itself can mean fewer cars.
