Lumos is a smart solar road stud that replaces passive reflectors with active LED illumination, adaptive brightness, and real-time IoT monitoring — so road operators always know what's working, and drivers always see where they're going.
Standard road reflectors rely on headlights to work — they fail in rain, fog, and direct sunlight. Existing solar studs use rigid flat panels, fixed brightness, and have no monitoring: 80% of failures go undetected until a road crew physically drives the route. Lumos fixes all of this in one product.
Thin-film solar wraps the full dome curve — harvesting energy from every angle of sun all day, not just overhead noon light. Outperforms flat panels by up to 40% in diffuse and low-angle light.
A continuous SMD LED strip at the dome base illuminates in all directions simultaneously. Visible to drivers approaching from any angle — critical at junctions and roundabouts.
Each stud pings battery level and LED status via LoRaWAN. Road operators receive instant alerts when a unit needs attention — no more drive-by inspection crews.
An ambient light sensor adjusts LED intensity in real time — dimming at dusk, brightening in darkness or fog. Saves 50–60% of battery consumption vs fixed-output studs.
Lithium iron phosphate chemistry — no fire risk if cracked, rated -20°C to 60°C, 3,000–5,000 charge cycles. Engineered for 10+ years of daily cycling without replacement.
Hard polycarbonate outer shell rated for 30-tonne load. ETFE encapsulant seals the solar film against water, grit, and road chemicals. Hydrophobic nanocoating keeps it self-cleaning.
Per-unit stud sale plus professional installation service. Recurring replacement revenue as batteries age beyond the 10-year horizon.
Monthly subscription for the monitoring platform — fault alerts, remote brightness control, maintenance history, and road analytics. Scales with fleet size.
We're currently selecting a small number of partners for paid pilot deployments. If you manage roads, car parks, or infrastructure where visibility and maintenance cost matter — fill in the form below and we'll be in touch.
