Ambient Light (Solar) Powered Wireless Irrigation Controller

With features like no other irrigation controller on the market, the LEIT-2, used in residential and commercial applications, is an ambient light (solar) powered, two station irrigation controller. The LEIT-2 system comprises the LEIT-2 wireless irrigation controller and the LEIT RC2 remote control handset. The LEIT-2 can operate up to two valves and a rain sensor using a highly efficient photovoltaic module fueled by ambient light. After installation, no further visits to the controller are required under normal conditions.

How much light is needed?

The LEIT controllers are unique to all other water management and irrigation control systems because of their ability to harness ambient light to generate electricity. The electricity is stored in a long life non-battery based Super capacitors and used to power the controller. This feature allows the LEIT 2 system to operate day and night in any area, in any weather conditions, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. On a normal day with direct sunlight, an average range of 5,000 - 100,000 lux can be measured. The LEIT 2 controller requires an average of 3,000 lux for normal operation.

Light illumination is measured in terms of lux (lx) or foot-candles (fc). A lux is equal to the total intensity of light that falls on a 3.5 square feet (one square meter) surface that is one foot away from the point source of light.
