savings Stela delivers. In excess of 10,000 units are


currently installed accumulating more than 24 million maintenance-free operating hours.


Stela’s operating


experience increases by more than 3 million hours every month, evidence of its reliability. Independent laboratory


testing and real installations show that Stela can reduce energy consumption and cut carbon emissions by up to 68% compared to traditional street lighting. Stela installations are saving more than 50 tonnes of CO2
