About EnGo Lampadaire intelligent

EnGo est un lampadaire autonome, hors réseau, conçu pour les espaces publics. Le réflecteur LED principal est alimenté par des cellules solaires ou par un système de dalles qui récupère l'énergie cinétique produite par les pas des passants. L'éclairage se pilote au moyen d'une application, et une lumière d'ambiance LED modulable permet de créer différentes atmosphères. Une borne de recharge et des batteries intégrées au banc fournissent de l'électricité et une connexion Wi-Fi aux appareils mobiles. Des capteurs mesurent la qualité de l'air, la température, l'humidité et les conditions de circulation, puis transmettent ces données aux urbanistes. L'acier, l'aluminium et le bois massif ont été employés.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: EnGo is an interactive of-the-grid lighting solution and a social hub that provides power and Wi-Fi for mobile devices. The lighting is controlled over an App. Main LED reflector is powered either from solar cells or a pad system that harvests kinetic energy from the footsteps of passersby. Changeable LED ambient light can be used to set different moods. A large surface bellow the panel also presents a unique advertisement opportunity, so the product can generate income.
Dimensions & Packaging: Height options: 4m, 6m or 8m (for the reflector). Bench (Additional battery box): 1000 x 300 x 450mm. Charge Spot: 280 x 230 x 110mm. Hardware: 230W solar panel, 25-75W LED luminaire, high speed Wi-Fi charging pad. Sensors: Motion sensors, Light on demand, Air quality (NO2,CO), Temperature & humidity, Water detection etc.
Tags: Smart Street Light, Solar, Kinetic, Renewable Energy, Sustainable, Off-the-grid, Mobile Charging, Social Hub, Ambient
Production Technology: Steel, aluminum, solid wood (different types, depending on the color of the unit).
Design Challenge: It was our intention to create a modular and adjustable unit which could be produced at a low price in almost any workshop, can be easily transported and installed on site. The challenge was to provide aesthetic design with various functional options that could be added or removed depending on a particular need of the client, designated location or planned usage.
Research: During initial research, We found that current solar LED street light solutions are either too expensive or do not have an appealing design language. Another issue We discovered was that solar panels are not fully utilized, either because the majority of solutions do not allow independent orientation of both the solar panel and the LED reflector, or because the solar panel cannot be set under an optimal angle (e.g. 30 degrees and pointing to south for Northern hemisphere).
Inspiration: Everyday need to power a mobile device, fast pace of life and lack of time for enjoyment or face-to-face socialization inspired us to create a new lighting solution. The goal for the Street Light was to create unique and contemporary visual environments that fulfill these needs. Inspiration was found in calm natural shapes and different effects of natural light. The solution for powering the product was found in maximally utilizing sunlight and the abundance of movement in urban areas.
Project Duration: This continually revised project, which started in 2015, is a cooperation of a start-up company from New York, USA and a team from Belgrade, Serbia.
Operation Flow: EnGo can be installed in any orientation, maximally utilizing sunlight. Battery packs inside the bench or underground also charge devices via Wi-Fi using Charge Spot. Interaction with EnGo is done using one App for a city service, while passersby can set ambient lighting with a different App. Sensors track atmospheric and traffic conditions, this data is sent to city planners. Linked units light the way when needed, and save energy when not. Advertisement NFC stickers can be used on Charge Spot.
