Cebu-based firm People’s Light D&M launches German-designed ‘smart solar street lights’

CEBU-BASED People’s Light D&M (Development and Manufacturing) Inc. has announced the introduction of the first smart solar street lights designed by German engineers and built in the Philippines.

 

Hans Jongedijk, president of People’s Light D&M Inc., said the company spent at least 3 years of intensive development and testing in producing the Ultra Bright street light specifically designed for warm and humid climates such as the Philippines.

He said the company is committed to provide the best lighting solution to suit the hot Philippine climate by using modern techniques that ensure a long life and the brightest street lights available in the market today.

“By implementing the results of comprehensive studies in battery and light solutions, our products are unique in every aspect,” he said, adding, the company’s smart solar street light has a built-in GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), WiFi (Wireless Fidelity), and LoRa (Long Range Radio).

He said each smart solar street light has 22,000 light hours and a LiFePoR battery pack powering 162 high performance light emitting diodes and fully encased in aluminium. It also has remote diagnostics and 3 years warranty and with upgrade to 6 years.

“After 3 years of intensive development and testing we are releasing our Ultra Bright street light, the PL141-UB which is an all-in-one solution (solar, battery and lights) is specially designed for warm and humid climates as we have here in our country.”

“The 3-in-1 solution makes installation very easy and uncomplicated. In addition to our 12-hours light function every night, we also added a LoRa network (wireless communication) that is accessible by the local engineering team and our own back office. This Globe-powered IOT (Internet of Things) Smart Street Light is guaranteed to work for more than five years,” Jongedijk told the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner.

He said the People’s Light D&M Inc. has used mainly local suppliers for the raw materials and sub-assemblies in an effort to provide jobs and at the same time contribute to the economy. “This ensures that when our customers buy this Philippine product they contribute to our economy,” Jongedijk said.

Jongedijk urged the public and local governments, including the industrial sector, to help support the local industry and buy the Philippine-made smart solar street lights.

Among the companies involved in the production of the People’s Light D&M smart solar street lights are Calco Industries Bulacan (aluminum), Solar Philippines Batangas (solar panels, Kintar Mandaue (metal works), PMI Lapu-Lapu (electronics assembly and testing), Sigma Mandaue (powder coating), Machine Systems LLC (aluminum processing) and Abtech Lapu Lapu (iron works).
