SolarPath solar security lights combine the autonomy of commercial solar lighting with PIR motion detection and two-stage dimming profiles engineered for perimeter security deployments. The fixture holds a low 20 percent ambient output through low-activity hours, then delivers a 2,000 to 8,000 lumen burst when motion is detected within the sensor zone. This profile doubles effective autonomy compared to steady-state security lighting.
Every security fixture runs on the lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and MPPT platform shared across our commercial catalog. IP66 ingress protection, -40 F to 140 F operating range, and DLC and UL listings make SolarPath security lights rebate-eligible and procurement-ready for industrial perimeters, storage yards, municipal facilities, and retail back-of-house environments.
PIR sensor sensitivity, detection range, and dimming profiles are configurable at commissioning. Learn more about our product catalog, security perimeter applications, and state-level specifications.
A passive infrared (PIR) sensor detects motion within a configurable zone of 15 to 40 feet from the fixture. Ambient output holds at 20 percent (400 to 1,600 lm) through low-activity hours. On detection, the LED array ramps to full 2,000 to 8,000 lumen output for a configurable duration of 30 to 300 seconds, then ramps back down.
Industrial perimeters and outdoor storage yards use security lighting to deter unauthorized access and support surveillance camera image quality. SolarPath fixtures at 15 to 25 foot pole heights cover 60 to 100 feet of perimeter per fixture with Type IV forward-throw distribution.
Municipal facility security protects water treatment plants, public works yards, substations, and vehicle maintenance facilities. Off-grid installation avoids trenching through aging infrastructure and coordinates with existing facility security systems.
Retail back-of-house and loading dock applications need bright bursts during delivery windows but minimal output during closed hours. The two-stage dimming profile matches this duty cycle exactly, conserving autonomy on nights without activity.
PIR range, sensitivity, ambient output percentage, and burst duration are all configurable at commissioning. SolarPath field teams tune each fixture to site-specific traffic patterns and security requirements.

Configurable 15 to 40 foot detection range with adjustable sensitivity matches site traffic and security requirements.
20 percent ambient output with full burst on detection doubles effective autonomy compared to steady-state security lighting.
2,000 to 8,000 lumens on detection delivers instant bright illumination for surveillance camera image quality and deterrence.
Sensor range, ambient level, burst duration, and dimming profile tune at commissioning to match site-specific duty cycles.
Security lighting has unique duty-cycle requirements that general-purpose solar fixtures handle poorly. SolarPath security lights are purpose-built for motion-activated deployments. The two-stage dimming profile conserves battery autonomy during quiet hours and delivers full output when detection occurs, which is exactly the pattern security projects demand.

A passive infrared sensor detects temperature changes caused by motion within a configurable 15 to 40 foot zone. On detection, the LED array ramps from 20 percent ambient to full burst output in under one second, holds for the configured duration (30 to 300 seconds), then ramps back down.
Typical security sites see 8 to 12 detection events per night, each lasting under 90 seconds. The remainder of the night runs at 20 percent ambient output. This profile doubles effective autonomy compared to steady-state full output, extending from 2 nights to 4 to 5 nights of reserve.
10 to 15 feet for close-range perimeter coverage. 15 to 20 feet for loading docks and facility entrances. 20 to 25 feet for wide perimeter coverage and storage yard lighting. Pole height depends on PIR range and target lux level.
Yes. The burst output triggers at the same detection point as most outdoor surveillance cameras, providing the bright illumination needed for clear image capture. SolarPath does not replace camera systems but complements them with reliable nighttime illumination.
5700K daylight CCT is the most common choice because it maximizes perceived brightness and pairs well with surveillance camera white balance. 4000K neutral is available for sites with neighboring residential or hospitality exposure.
SolarPath field teams tune PIR sensitivity, detection range, ambient output percentage, and burst duration at commissioning. Site walkthrough identifies traffic patterns, nuisance sources (wildlife, foliage movement), and target coverage zones.
Yes. Every SolarPath security light SKU ships DLC listed and UL listed, qualifying for utility rebates and federal, state, and municipal procurement contracts.
