This outdoor light totem uses remote lighting control technology. The light source is positioned at the totem’s base and transmitted to the top by means of fiber optic cables. Ziplux allows angle control so that nearly 100% of the light beams can be focused at desired locations and glare is reduced. A single light source can illuminate different spots, thus enabling lighting in dark street areas and helping to revitalize public spaces. Maintenance is performed on the ground without the need for trucks, cranes, scaffolds or ladders. This product can also use solar energy to produce electricity and work independently from the public electricity network.
