Schneider Electric, specialist in energy management, has announced the introduction of a new range of innovative energy efficient maintenance-free solar streetlights called Villaya.
This was disclosed by Anne Ezeh, field marketing and access to energy manager, while introducing the product to a select group of customers at the company’s head office in Lagos.
Speaking on the attributes of the Villaya Solar Streetlights, she says the product offers sustainable lighting capacity for up to 10 years. “Unlike others, the Villaya Solar Streetlights’ unique integrated concept makes installation very quick and easy because there is no need for trenching, cabling or on site assembling, and the advanced LED technology and management system guarantees the lamps can last for up to 10 years,” according to Anne.
In addition to its smart management system, the Villaya Solar Streetlights offer unrivalled heat resistance, highly efficient LED light engine that provides the best ratio of lumens per watt as well as a unique all-in-one integrated plug and play design which allows for retrofitting, easy installation and helps to avoid vandalism.

The product works by automatically, detecting night time conditions through an integrated circuit processor that guarantees full power during the night and graduated reduction of light intensity after four to five hours, to stretch the availability of its lighting service all year long.
Speaking on the organisation’s unwavering commitment towards providing innovative energy solutions, she says “the Villaya Solar Streetlight is a product solution to promote environmental safety, efficient, renewable, clean and affordable power, even in remote or off-grid areas that require good street lighting and zero electricity bills.”
Schneider Electric has been at the forefront of sustainable power sector development in Nigeria, not only by the introduction of genuine electrical products, but also in the development of manpower, in a bid to complement the Federal Government’s efforts in the sector.
