Overview

Parking lot lighting has utilized the same foundation for decades. Although light poles have evolved into supports for cameras, solar panels, WiFi and digital displays, the pole base itself has remained as nothing more than a solid block of concrete. To add these amenities, property owners have had no option, other than to bolt-on unsightly storage boxes, which often compromise the integrity of their light poles, and the beauty of their parking lots.

IPB recognized the need for a smarter, more eye appealing storage option, and set out to create a solution

No Need for Boxes

Parking lot lighting has utilized the same foundation for decades. While light poles now include other technologies such as cameras, solar panels, and WIFI, the pole base has remained a solid block of concrete. In current situations, property owners add unsightly boxes to the poles, which damages the structure of the light pole. IPB recognized this issue, and the growing need for storing technology, and set out to create a solution.
