Reliable Off Grid Lighting for Containers and Remote Installations
Tigerlight’s Corso solar container lighting solution provides reliable off grid illumination for storage containers and other non critical applications using a curated selection of stocked Tigerlight luminaires.
At the centre of the system is the Corso Solar Engine, a self contained solar power unit that combines a solar panel, advanced LiFePO₄ battery technology and an integrated solar controller. Together, these components generate and store energy to power lighting both inside the container and at the external entrance, providing dependable illumination without the need for mains power.
The system is designed to deliver reliable power management and long term battery protection. The solar controller prevents battery depletion and protects against deep discharge, which helps extend battery life and maintain stable performance in remote locations.
To ensure lighting is available when required while avoiding unnecessary energy consumption, the Corso system incorporates automatic timing controls. This approach improves operational efficiency and helps safeguard battery health by ensuring lights cannot be left on accidentally.
Lighting performance can also be tailored to suit different projects. Tigerlight’s full range of colour temperatures and optical distributions can be applied to the system, allowing the lighting output to be customised depending on the installation environment.
Each luminaire typically delivers 7 to 10 watts of power with high efficiency performance of approximately 160 lumens per watt, while higher output levels can be achieved when the system is paired with larger solar engine configurations.
The Corso Solar Engine provides two independent 12VDC outputs, allowing both external and internal lighting to operate in a controlled and energy efficient way.
One output operates on a dusk to dawn cycle, powering a Mako area light installed above the container entrance. This provides continuous perimeter illumination throughout the night, improving safety and visibility while also ensuring the battery cycles daily to maintain optimal performance.
The second output provides a timed constant lighting circuit connected to a series of three to five Bulkhead luminaires depending on container length. Activated through a timed switch, the internal lighting operates for approximately ten to fifteen minutes before automatically switching off. This prevents unnecessary energy use while ensuring lighting is always available when the container is accessed.
The result is a simple, reliable and energy efficient off grid lighting system designed for container installations, remote work sites and locations where mains power is unavailable or impractical.
With the Corso solar container lighting solution, Tigerlight continues to expand its range of engineered lighting systems designed to perform reliably in remote and demanding environments.
