For Farming & Rural
Sheds, driveways, yards & remote property lighting
Running electrical infrastructure across large rural properties is expensive and disruptive—trenching through paddocks, voltage drop over long distances, and ongoing maintenance headaches. Solar lighting eliminates these challenges entirely. Self-contained units install in hours without cables, provide reliable dusk-to-dawn illumination, and require minimal maintenance. From homestead security to livestock yard safety, solar delivers practical lighting where the grid can't reach.
The Challenges You Face
Traditional lighting infrastructure is expensive, complex, and vulnerable.
Prohibitive cost of running electrical cables across large properties
Voltage drop over long cable runs requiring expensive solutions
Trenching through paddocks disrupts land and livestock
Remote sheds and yards left dark due to infrastructure costs
Security concerns for homesteads and equipment storage
Safety risks at livestock yards, loading ramps, and water troughs after dark

Rural Property Lighting Guide
Lighting large rural properties presents unique challenges. Unlike suburban blocks, farms often span hundreds of hectares with buildings scattered across the landscape. Running grid power to every shed, yard, and access point is simply not practical or affordable. Solar lighting provides a sensible alternative that pays for itself quickly.
Sheds and Workshops
Machinery sheds are often the furthest buildings from the main power supply. The SO-AREA provides 2300 lumens of warm white light—enough to illuminate a shed entrance and surrounding work area. Mount on existing poles or use the SO-POST-KIT for a complete standalone solution. The intelligent working mode adjusts brightness through the night to maximise runtime.
Driveways and Entry Gates
Long driveways present a challenge: you need enough light to navigate safely, but running power from the house to the front gate could mean hundreds of metres of cable and trenching. Solar bollards at key points—turns, gates, cattle grids—provide safe navigation without any wiring. Motion-sensor wall lights at gates alert you to arrivals.
Livestock Yards and Loading Ramps
Early morning and late evening livestock work is common on Australian farms. Adequate lighting at yards and loading ramps improves both worker safety and animal welfare. The SO-AREA's 80m² coverage illuminates working areas, while path markers can define boundaries and guide stock movement.
Security Lighting
Rural property crime is a genuine concern. Solar motion-sensor lights around homesteads, equipment storage, and fuel tanks provide a visible deterrent without running power to every corner of your property. The SO-LUNA-WALL automatically increases brightness when motion is detected.
Common Questions
Will these work during extended overcast periods?
Yes. Our solar lights use LiFePO4 batteries with multi-night autonomy. Even after several overcast days, they maintain operation by automatically adjusting brightness to preserve runtime.
How do they handle dust and harsh conditions?
All units are IP65 rated minimum, meaning they're protected against dust ingress and water jets. The panels can be hosed down periodically to maintain charging efficiency in dusty conditions.
Can livestock damage them?
Mount units at appropriate heights on poles or walls, out of reach of curious animals. The units themselves are robust aluminium and polycarbonate construction designed for commercial and public environments.
What about trees and shade?
Solar panels need direct sunlight to charge effectively. Position units away from tree canopy and buildings that cast shadows. Our team can advise on optimal placement for your specific situation.
Do I need an electrician to install?
No. Solar lights are self-contained with no electrical wiring required. Installation is typically DIY—mount the unit, point the panel north, and it's operational. We provide detailed installation guides.
How long do they last?
LED components are rated for 50,000+ hours. LiFePO4 batteries maintain capacity for 2000+ charge cycles (5-7 years of daily use). Most units carry a 2-year warranty.
Can LuminoKrom be applied to timber shed floors?
Yes, with appropriate surface preparation. It adheres well to sealed timber and concrete surfaces commonly found in farm sheds.
Will it withstand forklift and machinery traffic?
Yes. LuminoKrom is traffic-rated and chemical-resistant, suitable for workshop floors and machinery storage areas.
How visible is it in dusty conditions?
Periodic cleaning maintains visibility. In dusty environments, the glow may be reduced but remains functional. High-traffic areas self-clean through foot and vehicle movement.
