LED beaconing for a cycle path: La Vélodyssée

Ensuring the safety of cyclists and pedestrians while preserving the wildlife of natural areas has become a necessity.

The solar beacons, with their controlled light diffusion and warm LED colours, provide a solution perfectly adapted to this challenge.

Eco-Innov installed 170 units of the ECO-143 solar beacons in the town of La Chapelle sur Erdre (44), staggered on either side of the cycle path over a 1.7 km section (13m spacing between each studs).
