Two UK tech focused companies have joined forces to develop a new solar-powered lighting tower.
Device Smart and Giraffe came together to address the need for a sustainable and cost-effective lighting solution as traditional lighting towers rely on diesel generators, which are typically noisy and polluting, requiring maintenance making them expensive to operate. They also lack the smart operational features that modern mobile technology encourages.
The new tower is powered by solar panels and integrated batteries, it operates off-grid, producing zero emissions. The compact and easy to transport tower is equipped with a range of security and safety features, including 360° motion detection and 4G connectivity. This makes it ideal for use in remote or hazardous areas.
The solar-powered lighting tower is the first product to come out of a new partnership between Device Smart and Giraffe. The two companies plan to develop a range of other products in the future.
“We are excited to partner with Giraffe to bring this new product to market,” said Jason Hill, Managing Director of Device Smart. “Bringing sustainable, solar solutions to market is important and we believe it will help to make sites both safer and more sustainable.”
“It has been great to get to know Jason and we are proud to be working with Device Smart on this project,” said Jake Withecombe, CEO of Giraffe. “We have put a lot of thought into the design of the tower and the outcome is a great example of how two UK tech companies can come together to develop products based on a smart, sustainable platform whilst solving real-world problems.”
