Have you ever heard of a "foot-candle"? It’s a common term in the U.S. lighting industry and one we get asked about frequently. The concept dates back to the era of beeswax candles, long before the advent of electricity. Simply put, if you hold a candle one foot above the ground, the light it casts on that spot is measured as one foot-candle (or fc for short). ? Pretty fascinating, right? Despite its historical roots, the term continues to be essential today, helping us understand how much light actually reaches a surface. Foot-candles are not exclusive to solar street lighting; they play a crucial role across various fields. Museums, art galleries, cinematographers, and even horticulturalists rely on foot-candles to determine optimal lighting for their specific applications. So, what sets solar street lighting apart? At EnGoPlanet, we deliver foot-candles that are #PoweredByTheSun! Have a foot-candle requirement?

?? Trenching costs are skyrocketing ?? Up to $30 PER FOOT! ??? Let’s do the math: If trenching costs $30 per foot to dig and run conduit, a mere ? mile (1,320 feet) amounts to a $39,600 trenching bill! That’s nearly $40,000 before you factor in: ?? Pole Costs ?? Electrical Work ?? Distributivos Rates ?? Extra Labor & Equipment? ?? Future Repair Costs Here's what you need to know: ? SOLAR LIGHTING skips the trenching entirely! With a simple concrete foundation (or direct bury), installation is faster, non-disruptive to the environment, and avoids months of logistical headaches. ???? www.engoplanet.com #trenching #utility #solar #poweredbythesun #streetlights #infrastructure

? For most of us in the U.S., stargazing feels like something out of a romcom. The truth is, 80% of Americans can no longer see the Milky Way—its brilliance swallowed by excessive artificial light. However, light pollution isn’t just about losing sight of the stars—it also affects wildlife, the environment, and your wallet. Solar lighting offers a sustainable and innovative way to tackle these issues. Here’s how: ?? Equip Dark Sky-friendly fixtures to focus light downward preventing excess glare. ?? Choose warmer LEDs to minimize blue light, a major contributor to light pollution. ?? Employ motion sensors to keep lights on only when needed. ?? Activate dimming schedules during late hours to reduce excess brightness. ?? Solar lighting eliminates the need for expensive trenching and wiring, making installation quick, cost-effective, and less disruptive to the environment than traditional on-grid systems. Solar lighting seamlessly integrates smart technology to combat light pollution while serving to eliminate costs. It’s sustainable, efficient, and a hassle-free alternative to traditional systems. At EnGoPlanet, we’re #PoweredByTheSun #DarkSky #lightpollution #streetlights #solar #infrastructure #resilience #innovation #smarttech

Better visibility = Safer roads! ?? Imagine this: you're driving through a rural area late at night. The road is dark, and you're on high alert—watching for deer, oncoming traffic, and the faint glow of reflectors marking an intersection ahead. This is where solar lighting shines. ?? For rural roads, solar-powered lights are a game-changer. With just one pole at intersections across your county, you get the benefits of added safety and visibility—without the hassle. They’re 100% off-grid, which means no trenching and no sky-high installation costs. Want more? Solar lights are unaffected by blackouts. They feature smart tech, are DarkSky compliant, and have zero carbon emissions. It’s safety with a purpose. #LightingSavesLives #SolarPower #SaferRoads #SustainableSolutions #TexasDriving

Let there be light! A new era of street lighting is here, with solar-powered solutions transforming how we illuminate roadways, highways, and urban spaces. What’s driving this shift? Traditional street lights require costly wiring, trenching, and grid connections— often causing extensive traffic disruptions due to a lengthy installation process. Solar lighting solves these problems seamlessly. Powered completely by the sun, solar lights are easy to install with no trenching, cabling, or disruptions—saving time, money, and the environment. Your roadways deserve resilient, smart, grid-free lighting that ensures streets remain illuminated when you need it the most—especially during blackouts.
