“It is important to stay at the forefront of website technology in order to provide the best possible customer service. We continually try to improve and expand our website based upon client feedback,” says Principal, Darcy Braun of DX3 Enterprises Ltd.

“With our array of Canadian-made technology specifically designed for each region globally, we’re able to offer a range of solar powered street lighting products to meet everyone’s needs. Our mission is to provide light anywhere, anytime, and with our latest advances, we can do just that,” Says Principal, Dallas Wilm of DX3 Enterprises Ltd.

About DX3 Enterprises Ltd.

DX3 Enterprises Ltd., is the designer, manufacturer, and supplier of solar-powered lights for use in Northern Canada all the way to Southern part of Australia. All of our products are dark-sky compliant, and manufactured and assembled in Canada.

Many people might think we’re a bunch of oil-wrangling cowboys out here, with not much regard for Mother Nature. Nothing could be further from the truth. As professional engineers, we are taught to think of every challenge as an opportunity to solve a problem. As electrical engineers, we have a prescribed interest in alternative energy – anyone who can read will tell you that there is a finite end to the way we currently harness energy from our natural resources.

So, in the vast, somewhat-frozen expanse that is our homeland, we were left with this challenge – how do we make solar energy work, north of 49°? We get some beautifully long days in the summer months, but for much of the year, it’s dark when we leave for work, and dark when we come home.

So, harsh conditions, limited light to draw from, solar what?? Sounds improbable. That’s the kind of skepticism that we engineers love, and usually fuels us to look harder and deeper for an answer. In our case, we were able to leverage a highly stable solid-state battery – a Lithium-Polymer masterpiece, capable of holding a lot of juice, but not subject to the same physical fluctuations as a conventional battery cell, because it’s a solid piece, not a series of fluid-filled chambers. Additionally, we had to have a light source that was bright enough to illuminate for long hours in the darkness, and store as much power as possible during the hours of limited daylight. In comes our LED. Now, LEDs are not hard to come by. The difference for DX3 really lies in the way you bring power from a source to an LED, and the logic and circuitry required to make that light robust and sustainable, without using too much of that power.

So, with all that time to think during the winter, we have been able to solve the question of sub-arctic solar lighting. Naturally, our technology has many other applications, and several different industries that it applies well to, but the biggest challenge was, of course, Old Man Winter…

DX3 Enterprises Ltd. is proud to provide a high-quality Canadian product for international use. Our DX3 Solar Street light system is reliable, capable, and cost-effective.

The focus of the Alberta Primetime news segment highlights the need for innovative Canadian technologies for use worldwide. We are looking forward to improving the quality of life for third-world countries, and reducing the impact of lighting on the environment for the rest of the globe.

DX3 Enterprises Ltd. analyzed the core systems of an LED street light system and started with a clean slate design to fully optimize the efficiency of component parts and their interactions. By using the latest cutting edge technology for LEDs, controls, and solar power DX3 has created a highly efficient, compact, solar powered street light that contains everything required for fully autonomous use.
The DX3 Solar street light is perfect for third-world countries where electricity is either unreliable or unavailable. It provides 3 nights of autonomous light. (ie. 3 full nights of light even if the solar panel didn’t charge the battery.) DX3’s solar powered street lighting can be used for roads, bridges, parking lots, commercial buildings, substations, and almost any outdoor application where light is wanted, but electricity isn’t available.

The simple installation makes it straightforward for almost anyone to apply DX3 Solar street lights. There is no external battery box or solar panel. Everything is contained within the lighthead itself; simply use the universal mount to attach the light to any standard lighting pole, and you have instant lighting. Because there is no connection to the electrical grid, the installation is safer and easier than regular street lights.

“We have come up with the ultimate lighting tool. Its reliable, easy-to-install, usable wherever there isn’t electricity, and simple. The irony is, that as a Canadian company, this technology isn’t meant for Canada. Because it contains a battery and solar panel, this technology is best suited for equatorial, tropical and sub-tropical applications where the temperature doesn’t drop below -10C very often,” Says Dallas Wilm, Engineering Manager of DX3 Enterprises Ltd.
