Solar Road Studs, also known as solar road markers, are solar-powered road safety warning lights that are often placed on the road surface.
Solar Road Studs, also known as solar road markers, are solar-powered road safety warning lights that are often placed on the road surface.
Solar Road Studs are low-maintenance solar cell-powered LED illumination devices that delineate road borders and centerlines. They provide drivers with a longer reaction window since they are embedded in the road surface.
The primary function of these lights is to indicate the direction of the road, particularly in challenging rainy or foggy circumstances, as well as to encourage drivers to pay attention to the driving path ahead. Solar road studs significantly increase road safety and minimize the incidence of traffic accidents.
Solar Road Studs are specifically developed to mark crosswalks, roundabouts, and traffic islands, among other things.

Innovative Solar Road Studs
SR-i19 and SR-i25 are two new solar road studs that use microcontroller technology, have a low profile raising from the surface (9 and 10mm respectively), and are ideal for road delineation, bends/curves, and crosswalks among other applications.
SR-i19 cutting-edge design gives it greater lighting power (higher light output due to its 3 LEDs for each side) and makes it more resistant (the aluminum base gives it strong mechanical resistance).
The innovative solar road stud SR-i25 has a stainless-steel cap that makes it ready for snowplow machines. The GPS technology built-in allows flashing synchronization. It has high mechanical resistance and a high-performance photovoltaic solar module.
Solar energy powers road studs, which light up automatically at night
SERNIS solar road studs are made of an active illumination LED light source and can operate independently for several years. They have a high level of durability, which removes the need for costly cabling installation.
LEDs are much brighter than standard reflective road studs and provide 1km visibility. Solar energy powers the road studs, which light up automatically at night. During daylight hours, the solar cells charge batteries or capacitors, and the LEDs are switched off.
Solar energy sources, as the name indicates, generate ecologically friendly power from sunlight.
Easy to install and maintain
Solar Road Studs require no need for wiring and can be installed anywhere, no matter how remote the location is or how far the location is from the grid. All that is required is to install these lights on the roads and let them be there for years to come since they would not require frequent maintenance.
These intelligent Solar Road Studs operate independently in the open air and they have their own power supply (solar cell), the electrical wiring is eliminated, resulting in a quick and convenient installation.
These features make the Solar Road Studs highly energy-efficient, environment-friendly, and easy to install and maintain.
Particular applications
SERNIS' innovative design and technology make some of our Solar Road Studs (SR-i25 and SR-i40) snow plough resistant and boost road safety for many years.
Solar road studs are a novel approach primarily intended to improve traffic safety. These lighting products, however, may also be utilized in various applications, such as bike lanes and square and park landscape illumination.
Aside from energy savings, Solar Road Studs improve driver visibility and are a step toward the finest traffic management system.
Sleep Mode
After 24 hours without being activated, SERNIS Solar Road Studs go into Sleep Mode. This means that they can be stored for long periods of time without reaching critically low levels of power.
The Solar Road Studs are loaded to the maximum level when leaving the factory and - activate the Sleep Mode after 24 hours without use - it can preserve the energy without damage.
i-Stud evolution technology
i-stud evolution technology applied to some of SERNIS Solar Road Studs increases the performance of solar power studs with energy storage by battery or capacitor. The main advantage of i-stud evolution is the use of microcontroller technology inside each stud, which allows several beneficial features and control options.
KEY Features
Wake Up/Sleep Function
Allows the stud to stay in "sleep" mode before the application, extending the autonomy of the battery
Automatic Brightness Control
Manages the energy stored, adapt the brightness, and regulates the light level in accordance with the energy-charged during the day
Definition of the Working Period
Set up the number of hours the i-stud should work after night detection (when roads studs do not have to operate all night long)
Operation Mode Flash/Steady
Switch the stud’s mode from ‘flashing’ to ‘steady’ and vice versa after installation
Flash Rate
Adaptation of the flash rate after the installation
Night Level Detection
Adjustment of the lighting level detection (Lux)
Operation Mode Uni or Bi-directional
Modify the light direction temporarily or permanently
Low Temperature
Detects the possibility of ice forming on roads and changes the LEDs color to warn drivers about the dangerous weather condition (option available)
Log File
If a problem with the stud is detected the unit is able to make an internal log to discover what are the causes of the problem
Advantages of Solar Road Studs
Autonomous solar energy
High luminous brightness visible up to 1km
A light source that is brighter than typical reflective road studs.
Improves driver response time
Reduce light pollution
Drastically decrease in road accidents
Bikers friendly
Low surface rise
Ready for snow plough machines
LEDs that are unidirectional or bidirectional
Simple installation with no maintenance
Application of Solar Road Studs
Warn drivers of approaching road hazards or road work
Highways and roads without conventional street lighting, on-road sections lacking isolation belts, and insufficient night lighting
Toll entrances on high-speed highways direct in and out
Road illumination around the city
Road illumination on twisting, dangerous rural roads
Illumination of bike lanes at night
Improving road lighting at industrial or shipping locations
Sidewalks, crosswalks, roundabouts, and traffic islands (urban infrastructures)
Landscape illumination as route, deck, pierce, dock, and bridge indicators in parks and hotels.
Industrial sites like outdoor parking lots, private roads, shipping sites, loading docks, warehouses, mining operations, etc.
