Solar Road Studs

Our LUX Lunar active road studs are a good solution for both safe and sustainable infrastructures, providing superior distance visibility of the road layout ahead. LUX Lunar road studs activate at the beginning of twilight. Once daylight will exceed 100 lux in the morning, the lightning will turn off and the battery starts charging. They maintain light outputs throughout a full annual cycle and are proven to increase night time safety. Even on cloudy or rainy days the road stud will charge efficiently to 100% in circa 3 hours.

Installation

LUX Lunar road studs can be supplied with installation by Van Wylick. This way, we can ensure their correct installation and. LUX Lunar road studs are embedded within the road surface; this method enhances their long life span and ensures that the LUX Lunar can be driven over by heavy traffic. They can be installed in asphalt, concrete elements and all other types of foundations. A big advantage is that cabling is no longer necessary.

Colours and setting

For infrastructure applications, white or red LED lights are usually specified. For decorative and architectural applications, other colours are more common, such as green, orange, blue and yellow. The lights function at different settings: they can emit steady light or they can blink. Feel free to contact us for more information about the possibilities.

Sustainability

The LUX Lunar road stud stands out in the market because of its exceptional long lifespan and sustainable design. The technical specifications of the LUX Lunar road stud in combination with a 100% water- and dustproof housing ensure years of reliable, maintenance-free operation.

Zero energy costs and environmental impact: LUX Lunar road studs are powered entirely by renewable solar energy, eliminating ongoing electricity consumption and associated CO2 emissions. Unlike grid-powered lighting systems that require continuous energy input, solar road studs operate completely off-grid, contributing to reduced carbon footprints for infrastructure projects.

Long-term cost savings: The combination of zero energy costs, no maintenance requirements, and extended operational lifespan makes LUX Lunar road studs a highly economical long-term investment. Unlike traditional lighting that requires ongoing electricity payments and periodic bulb replacements, solar road studs deliver decades of autonomous operation with no recurring expenses.

Applications

LUX Lunar road studs are widely used in the infrastructure sector, among others: emphasizing dangerous curves, introducing traffic calming measures, marking cycle lanes and roundabouts. 

Enhanced active visibility in:

  • Complete darkness and areas without ambient lighting
  • Heavy rain, fog, and low-visibility weather conditions
  • Remote locations and areas far from electrical infrastructure
  • Locations where headlight-dependent reflectors are ineffective

These active markers significantly increase traffic safety by remaining continuously visible when traditional painted road markings fail to provide adequate guidance.

Common applications include:

  • Dangerous curve warnings and sharp bend delineation
  • Highway edge marking and centerline guidance
  • Roundabout and traffic island navigation
  • Pedestrian crossing illumination and approach zones
  • Cycle lane separation and bicycle path guidance
  • Traffic calming measures and speed reduction zones
  • Harbour areas, quays, piers, and waterfront walkways
  • Pedestrian zone lighting
  • Public squares, recreational areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The LUX Lunar road stud is a top-notch quality product, reliable and robust.
  • The LUX Lunar housing is made in one-piece: 100% waterproof and dustproof.
  • Because of its design, the LUX Lunar can be driven over by heavy traffic.
  • The LUX Lunar has an autonomy of 200 hours and will emit light during a full annual cycle from dusk till dawn.
  • The LUX Lunar is equipped with a high quality battery, capable of charging in 3 hours at 100 KLux to 100%, even at dark or rainy nights.
  • Considering severe hot/cold climates: the LUX Lunar is also resistant to very high and low temperatures.

LUX Lunar road studs can emit light for 200 hours with a full battery. This ensures a capacity to function a full annual cycle, also during dark winters.

The LUX Lunar road stud is visible from a longer distance, which may be a necessity in certain traffic situations. Additionally, LUX Lunar road studs are applicable in areas without any traffic, since they generate their own light.

Yes, LUX Lunar road studs are specifically designed to function throughout the full annual cycle, including dark winter months. With a 200-hour autonomy on a full charge, the studs can continue emitting light for extended periods even during consecutive cloudy days. The high-efficiency solar panel and advanced battery technology enable charging to 100% in just 3 hours at 100 KLux, ensuring reliable performance even in low-light winter conditions. This makes them dependable year-round in northern climates with short winter days.

Absolutely. LUX Lunar solar road studs are ideal for areas with little to no vehicular traffic since they generate their own light rather than relying on vehicle headlights for reflection. This makes them perfect for footbridges, pedestrian walkways, public squares, cycle paths, harbour quays, piers, recreational areas, and parking zones. In these applications, the active LED illumination provides superior visibility and safety guidance where passive reflective studs would be ineffective.
