Organic Lighting has launched FortaCast Drive-Over Inground Lighting, a system engineered to simplify vehicular or pedestrian pavement installation complexities with a proven, futureproof design. FortaCast spawns a new era of lighting possibilities, with glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) sections that allow for continuous straight lines, circles, squares, intersections or curves.

FortaCast can be installed as easily as standard pavers, Organic Lighting officials note. The system boasts a high durability level, supporting over 10,000 psi loads, and suits high-traffic areas. It operates efficiently across extreme temperatures, from sub-zero conditions to above 50°C, and features IP68 certification for long-term submersibility. Maintenance is straightforward, owing to a clamshell service point design and slide-in track for each LED strip. The FortaCast system is illuminated by the encapsulated, diffused Aqueon LED, rated as floodproof, chemical-resistant, and vibration-proof.
