Several years ago SolarKing recognized the need for a custom-designed lighting system for CBUs (cluster box units) and to satisfy this need we have developed a patented solar-powered, motion-activated lighting system that has been installed in Arizona and California to rave reviews!
|
|
|
|
The CBU LightTM is the end result of a significant amount of design and testing and we are very pleased by the fact that virtually all of our sales of The CBU LightTM are from repeat customers or referrals from delighted customers.

“Cluster” mailboxes are generally located “around-the-corner and out-of-sight” since no-one wants cars stopping, car-doors slamming, and junk-mail falling in front of their house on a 24/6 basis.
|
|
|
|
|
Because of this, mailboxes are often placed in locations that are not very well lit and residents must get their mail under less-than-optimal lighting conditions.
|
|
|
|
In the past, residents and HOAs have had little choice other than to put up with the poorly lit mailboxes or pay for expensive high-voltage lighting to be installed.
|
|
|
|
With The CBU LightTM not only does the
customer not have to deal with the costs and disruptions associated with
the saw-cutting and trenching of streets and sidewalks typically required
to “import” high-voltage power/lighting to the monument/sign, they
also don’t have the costs associated with high-voltage wiring, conduit
and metering and, of course, there’s never any charge for electricity
when using solar-power!

SolarKing designed The CBU LightTM with
the following objectives in mind:
|
|
|
|
Aesthetics
- * Our mailbox lighting systems have to look great as well as work great. No resident or HOA wants an industrial-looking fixture towering over the mailboxes in their neighborhood.
- * Our
custom-designed one-piece thermoformed light housing that is an
integral part of our patented lighting system looks great and
fits in well with all neighborhoods.
|
|
|
|
|
* Additionally,
due to the positioning of the light and the softness of LED lighting there
is never a problem with light “trespass” into backyards or windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Durability
|
|
|
|
-
* The use of over-sized maintenance-free batteries which are mounted in the light-housing to minimize the likelihood of vandalism/theft.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cost-effectiveness
- Given the fact that mailbox lighting is often a nice-to-have feature versus a necessary-to-have requirement, our systems are designed to provide years of maintenance-free service at a minimum of cost. That being said, we do not cut costs by using sub-standard lighting, modules, or controllers since our ultimate objective of delighting our customers can only be achieved with the best balance of durability, performance, and cost.
