Innovative Streetlights Brighten Recovery in Atsuma Town

In the aftermath of the devastating blackout caused by the 2018 Iburi-Tobu earthquake, Hokkaido's Atsuma Town has taken a significant step towards disaster resilience with the debut of the innovative streetlight system known as 'THE REBORN LIGHT smart.' Ten of these solar-powered streetlights have been installed, providing 100% renewable energy without the need for any electrical wiring.

These remarkable streetlights feature technology that allows them to remain lit for up to 20 days under severe weather conditions, including heavy snowfall. Furthermore, they serve as smartphone charging stations during emergencies, showcasing their potential for enhancing community preparedness. The efficacy of 'THE REBORN LIGHT smart' has been recognized with prestigious awards, including the Japan Resilience Award, and has made headlines on major platforms like Fuji TV.

One of the standout features of these streetlights is their patented technology, which enables automatic rebooting when the battery is low, thereby eliminating the need for manual intervention that is common with most similar products on the market. This innovative design has garnered attention from notable delegations, including those from APEC, and has even led to piloting initiatives in cooperation with Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

As part of a broader vision to install at least one of these streetlights in every evacuation center across Japan, the official lighting ceremony in Atsuma Town marked a significant milestone. During the event, Atsuma Town Mayor Miyasaka declared his hopes for the streetlights to become a symbol of recovery for the community. The ceremony was graced by the presence of Atsuma's official mascot, 'Atsumarukun,' as well as various stakeholders from Mirai Labo, the organization behind this project.

Mayor Miyasaka expressed optimism, stating, "I hope this streetlight connects the future of our community," highlighting the importance of 'THE REBORN LIGHT smart' in fostering a resilient and sustainable future for Atsuma.

Mirai Labo is committed to expanding the reach of 'THE REBORN LIGHT smart' and is actively seeking partnerships with local governments and organizations interested in implementing this cutting-edge technology.
