Sharp Solar-powered LED Street Lights

Sharp has a couple of new solar-powered LED street lights that will hit the Japanese market later next month, merging both Sharp’s proprietary solar modules and high-intensity, long-life white LEDs. First off we have the Sharp LN-LW3A1 Solar-Powered LED Street Light that offers the highest level rating for light output, hitting an amount that is comparable to the 20-W class of security lights, making it ideal for spot lighting in areas such as public parks. In addition, these inventions boast a Seismic Motion Sensor that is able to detect whether an earthquake which measures 5 or more on the Japanese seismic scale is about to hit the Land of the Rising Sun. Good to see Japan taking pro-active steps in going green – when will the rest of the world follow closely?
