Elevate safety with the RMS 80F
The RMS80F has been enhancing safety at thousands of bus stops across North America for 16 years and counting. Now brighter and more reliable than ever, the RMS80F has a battery enclosure that is installed on the underside of your shelter roof. This configuration keeps batteries cool and allows for easy maintenance.
Panels are mounted to the shelter roof using standard brackets that are compatible with any roof type. With rigid and flexible solar arrays ranging from 40W to 120W, the RMS80F can be installed in any location south of Alaska. A single RMS80F system provides bright, uniform lighting coverage for shelter up to 12 feet wide.
