Cyclists navigating rural bike routes often face a lack of safe, sustainable lighting. 

Conventional solutions are often costly, carbon-heavy, and disruptive to wildlife contributing to light pollution while offering little flexibility in remote areas.

LightPost offers a smarter alternative. Powered entirely by solar energy, this sleek, self-sustaining fixture lights Denmark’s super cycle highways without grid connection or emissions. Its minimalist, cattail-inspired form holds solar panels on all sides, maximizing energy collection. A soft, high-mounted LED ring casts a warm, glare-free glow that guides cyclists while protecting nocturnal ecosystems.

Designed for longevity and adaptability, LightPost is low-maintenance and modular, with built-in potential for future smart upgrades like traffic or air quality sensors. 

LightPost proves that a simple light can support safety, biodiversity, and climate goals simultaneously.
