Éclairouge, the solar streetlamp with a living sleeve
A proposed amber-spectrum solar streetlamp combines off-grid lighting, a planted column, passive irrigation, and municipal cost modeling.
Field notes
The concept is organized as six inspectable modules: amber LED lantern, solar and MPPT assembly, five-metre mast, planted sleeve, passive water reserve, and LiFePO4 battery. The page specifies a 130 Wc panel, 1,024 Wh of useful storage, and more than 3,000 battery cycles. It also presents indicative pricing that falls from 5,800 euros for a prototype mast to 2,400 euros at 100-plus units, while its biodiversity and cooling figures remain stated claims rather than independently verified results.
