Purchasing Instructions for Solar Led Street Light

Many cities now use solar led street lights for road lighting, which can not only meet the current low-carbon environmental protection requirements, but also bring long-term benefits. Even in continuous rainy days, solar led street lights can be used as usual. The installation of solar led street lights is very simple. For investors, it can not only save a lot of installation costs, but also save a lot of electricity and maintenance costs. As long as the solar led street light is used normally, the service life can basically reach 8-10 years. Therefore, government departments in many countries are purchasing solar led street lights in large quantities. But solar led street light is a complicated lighting system, or it is a customized product. The customer needs to provide the local sunshine duration and the longest number of rainy days to the street lamp manufacturer, so that the manufacturer can configure the solar street lamp according to the customer's information. So, what should be paid attention to when purchasing solar led street lights?

1. Pay attention to the overall configuration of the lighting system

When purchasing solar led street lights, you should not only pay attention to the quality of the lamps, but also pay more attention to the overall configuration. The main components of solar led street lights are light source, battery, controller, solar panel, light pole and so on. If the configuration of the street light is too small, it will not be able to support long enough lighting on cloudy and rainy days. If the configuration is too high, the price of solar led street lights will also be very high, which is likely to exceed the customer's budget. Including the peak wattage of photovoltaic modules, the capacity of lithium batteries and the stable performance of led street lights, etc. Only when all the problems are taken into consideration can the practical performance of solar led street lights be higher.

2. Pay attention to the heat dissipation

As solar led street lights are in harsh environments for a long time, the requirements for their heat dissipation performance are even more stringent. If there is no good heat dissipation scheme, then, after a period of use, street lights are prone to rapid aging, and the stability will also deteriorate. This is also one of the reasons why many led solar street lights are not used up to expectations. Some street lamps will install heat conduction plates at key heat dissipation positions, and then design the lamp housing into a radiator shape. This is conducive to the heat dissipation of solar led street lights.

3. Pay attention to chip quality

solar led street light sources all use LED lamp beads, so this is another key material. Because the LED lamp has the problem of light decay and the service life, and the quality of the LED lamp bead chip is uneven. If you choose a poor quality chip, it will directly affect the performance of the street light. Some unscrupulous merchants will choose low-quality chips in order to win more profits. If they buy such lighting products, it will seriously affect their subsequent use.

4. Pay attention to the quality of accessories

The solar led street light is composed of multiple accessories, and the quality of the accessories will directly affect the lighting effect of the street light. Especially the capacity of the lithium battery, which is the key to determining the length of the street lamp lighting time. It is recommended to use high-quality lithium batteries for cost-effective solar led street lights. Some manufacturers use poor quality lead-acid batteries or gel batteries in order to save costs. In this way, the service life of the battery is likely to be shortened, thereby affecting the service life of the street lamp. The quality of the light source and solar panels is equally important. The quality of the light source is not good, and severe light decay will directly affect the lighting, such as insufficient brightness, flickering of the light source, and so on. The quality of the solar panel affects its power conversion rate, and the conversion rate is low, so there is less power available for street lights. Therefore, when choosing solar led street lights, you must choose lighting products with good component quality.

5. Pay attention to the wire

We all know that the price of gold wire is very expensive, so many solar led street lights on the market now use copper alloy or gold-coated silver alloy wire instead of gold wire. Although these materials are better than gold wire in some aspects. But after the actual use, the performance is still much worse than the gold wire.

6. Pay attention to the false configuration

The practical performance of solar led street lights is very strong, and the pressure of competition between different solar led street light manufacturers is very high, which also gives many illegal businesses an opportunity to take advantage of. Some unscrupulous manufacturers mark false information on the street light products, including the wattage of the light source, the capacity of the battery, and the materials used for the street light poles. When purchasing, you must verify it before purchasing.
