solar aluminum led road stud high brightness reflector flashing light cat eye driveway pavement marker
Solar road studs are flashing solar cell powered LED low maintenance lighting devices that delineate road edges and centerlines. Embedded in the road surface, they are an electronic improvement over traditional cat-eye and raised pavement markings to provide the driver with a larger window of reaction.
Measuring on average about 100mm2 or 100mm in diameter and about 40mm thick,?? units are strong enough to avoid damage from passing vehicles and are usually made from engineering plastics and polycarbonate. The use of solar road studs reduces the need for headlamp high beams and the attendant danger of dazzling oncoming drivers. They’re also more visible in rain and fog conditions, with problems with older retroreflectors and road markings. The solar cell charges the battery or capacitor during sunny hours, during which the blinking LED is turned off by the photoelectric switch.
