Clear Channel UK has introduced its first solar-powered advertising bus shelter on Waterloo Bridge, London, using a specially manufactured solar LED lighting kit from Zeta Specialist Lighting.
Four solar panels have been installed onto Transport for London’s (TfL) bus stop, converting sunlight into battery power and enabling Clear Channel to light up the courtesy light and advertising panel when it’s dark. The solar-powered bus shelter is equipped with an energy management system that knows how much power it has generated. This allows it to automatically dim the lights if power is running low or in daylight.
Dave Huckerby, development director at Clear Channel UK, said: “This is an exciting launch for us and for London and we look forward to developing the product as we introduce the technology in other communities.”
