Solar energy and lighting solutions provider ZRW Mechanika has successfully combined LED technology with renewable solar power to create its portable solar systems to provide lighting for informal and rural settlements and develop integrated solar high-mast solutions for area lighting. LEDs have become the standard, as LEDs use less power, compared with fluorescent tubes, induction lights and incandescent lights, says ZRW Mechanika MD Dr Kamalluddien Parker.
