Solar Cynergy - Embedded Solar LED Lighting
Posted by: mpg in Lighting, Environment, Educational 
Planning a landscape project? How about solar lighting? Well, these are not your typical lighting you buy from your local hardware store. These are designed to be embedded into the pavement. The folks at Solar Cynergy have introduced a LED lighting product for residential use. The lights can be set into stonework, gravel, or even soil to provide accents or create a safe walk or driveway. It comes in circle, square or rectangle shape and colors (red, blue, white).

UC Berkeley has taken global warming and environmental protection seriously, establishing many new energy-related research centers, including the new Energy Biosciences Institute, which will focus on better technologies for producing biofuels — fuels made from plants. The campus has also set new requirements for campus conservation, and students are directly involved in the process. (7-minute Flash video, produced by Roxanne Makasdjian)
We’re extremely excited to see our Solar Cynergy RSC line featured in Solar Today Magazine’s
New Products. With a special focus on a Holiday Wish list “for the Gardener in the Family.”

Solar Cynergy’s new line of solar LED lights is an eco-friendly, reliable and smart alternative to traditional street lights and home garden lights. Run entirely on solar energy, there’s no battery or complicated wiring involved, simply place the unit in a sunlit area and you can use the sun’s rays to light up anything from your front yard and drive way to dangerous intersections and crosswalks.
The solar unit charges during the day and turns on automatically at dusk. A single day of weak sunlight is enough to provide lighting for several days. The lights come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors for residential, commercial and city applications. The lights are weather resilient (working conditions –4 to 158º F), durable enough to be driven on and if that’s not enough, they come with a 10-year warranty and an expected lifetime of 25+ years.
A six-pack of round halogen white lights retails for $699.99 on SmartHome.com
Always have to support my fellow Berkeley colleagues. Check out a great blog on solar technology and news!

Solar Cynergy is putting solar to use in a new way. Street lighting. Connecting a series of in-street lighting or address marker lighting to a grid is a pain. Dig, dig, dig… annoy, annoy, annoy. So Solar Cynergy has done the obvious. Charge up those lights during the day when you don’t need them, and have them throw off solid LED light at night. Here’s to people putting solar to use in creative ways.

Green Tip: Solar LED Path Lighting
We have been neck deep in reno’s and will be for a while, but when it comes time to finally move outside, these solar powered LED path lights sure look like an interesting option for lighting up our outdoor living space. posted originally from: AT:Hometech
We have looked at the Philips LED lights before, but the Solar Cynergy path lights are interesting because they use a capacitor to provide up to 15 hours of lighting on 8 hours of solar charge. The entire unit is encased in resin which allows you to integrate it directly with patio stones or even poured concrete. Perfect for a modern design without any need for electricity or additional wiring work.

Solar Cynergy Solar LEDs
Solar efficiency and modern accent lighting combined. Utilizing quality Nichia LEDs and capacitor technology, Solar Cynergy offers high end architectural and landscape lighting for your home.
Removed from view and embedded beneath the scratch resistant polycarbonate resin surfaces, the solar panels cycle power to a capacitor that charges during the day and automatically illuminates the LEDs at nightfall via a photo sensor.
Each self-contained fixture allows for easy installation with no messy wiring and is ideal for accenting pathways, gardens, pools and custom landscapes. All fixtures are weather resilient, capable of being driven over and are protected by a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty.
Solar Cynergy is available in RSC-100 circular, RSC-500 square or RSC-900 rectangular models in green, blue, red, white and halogen white.
Dimensions: (L x W x H in)
RSC-100 – 3.1” x 2.3”
RSC-500 - 3.8” x. 3.8” x 2.3”
RSC-900 - 7.7” x 3.8” x 2.3”

Solar Cynergy, for zero-energy outdoor lighting
By Chris Morrison 09.19.07
Makers of outdoor light-emitting diode (LED) technology usually aim at replacing public street lights, which sap large amounts of energy over time. A company called Solar Cynergy has instead chosen to focus on the residential outdoor decorative lighting market.
LEDs consume less power than incandescent bulbs, the standard lighting used everywhere. LEDs are a developing technology that may one day beat fluorescents for energy efficiency, and also have an extremely long life-span. Their low power requirements mean they can be combined with a small solar cell and capacitor to drop off the power grid entirely.
Solar Cynergy’s initial outdoor product is a “brick” that is installed in the ground and covered by a polycarbon shield strong enough to drive a truck over. During the day, the solar cell inside soaks up sunlight, storing the energy in its capacitor. At night, the light comes on automatically. A single day of weak sunlight is enough to power the LED for several days, according to the company, and the lights can last as long as 25 years.
Competitor Hotbeam sells a nearly identical product, although the “SolarBrick” has a more visible solar panel. Solar Cynergy has also begun making lights designed for cities, such as cross-walks illuminators.
Solar Cynergy has started out targeting the high-end residential market, to cover its high component costs: A pack of six round lights costs about $799 wholesale. John Huang, an associate of the company, blames manufacturing costs and a 20-40 percent markup that will be reduced over time.
But with the price of both LEDs and solar paneling coming down by at least 10 percent each year, and production ramping up, it won’t be long until the lights are within reach for ordinary homeowners. Solar Cynergy currently sells only through a handful of distributors, who resell to construction companies and contractors across the country, but recently signed a contract to sell through SmartHome, an online retailer.
Prashant Shewa, CEO of the company’s Japanese parent Shewas Inc., claims that Solar Cynergy is run by only six employees and already takes in about $7 million annually. Its early success is an indicator of the expanding market for energy-conscious products in every aspect of consumer’s lives.
