hybrid solar garden lights Installation Begins in the South of France. In 2018, a quiet residential community in the south of France faced a familiar problem: outdated, inefficient outdoor lighting systems that contributed to excessive light pollution, disrupted local ecology, and failed to adequately illuminate roads at night. Residents expressed growing concerns about safety and visibility, particularly during late evening hours.
To tackle this challenge, ANETHIC partnered with a local stakeholder to deploy a customized hybrid solar garden lights solution. The answer was Lightgogo 5 — a high-efficiency, solar-and-grid-powered garden lighting system developed for performance, sustainability, and aesthetic value.
Challenges with Traditional Outdoor Lighting Solutions
- High energy consumption led to steep electricity bills and carbon emissions.
- Uneven illumination left dark patches, undermining pedestrian safety.
- Light pollution disrupted local wildlife and disturbed residents.
Traditional street and garden lights often rely solely on grid power, making them vulnerable to outages and increasing maintenance costs. The community needed an energy-efficient lighting alternative that could guarantee consistent performance year-round.
Innovative Hybrid Lighting System Design
To address these pain points, our team engineered a hybrid lighting system that seamlessly integrates solar harvesting with the power grid:
- Solar Array Charging
- Grid-assisted Backup
- Intelligent Controller for dynamic power management
- Ultra-efficient LEDs at 180–200 lm/W
This strategy ensures uninterrupted illumination—even during overcast days—and dramatically reduces reliance on conventional electricity.
Customizing Hybrid Solar Garden Lights for Performance
Our journey began in 2017, when ANETHIC and its French partner co-designed the Lightgogo 5:
- Recessed Lamp Housing: Enhanced reflectivity, focusing more light downward to minimize light pollution.
- Round, Modular Shape: Aesthetic harmony with garden landscapes.
- Rigorous Prototyping: Two phases of performance tests and mold refinements.
By mid-2018, the first production units were ready for deployment—heralding a new era of solar garden lights engineered for peak effectiveness.

Achieving Energy-Efficient Lighting and Safety
The installation delivered over 15 lux average illumination—exceeding safety standards for residential roads. Key advantages of our energy-efficient lighting approach include:
- 80% Lower System Power vs. average solar street lights (100–120 lm/W)
- 80% Longer Runtime on identical battery capacity
- 365-day Reliability, even during extended rainy periods
Residents instantly noted the brighter, more uniform lighting, which enhanced both curb appeal and community security.
Scalable Solar Street Lights Deployment
Beyond this garden-style installation, our modular design scales to larger projects. The same optical and structural principles apply to solar street lights, enabling:
- Rapid Rollouts for municipalities
- Minimal Maintenance with self-cleaning solar panels and remote monitoring
- Versatile Mounting options—from park paths to highway shoulders
This flexibility underscores ANETHIC’s leadership in outdoor lighting solutions—driving sustainable infrastructure worldwide.
