Tips to Make Solar Powered Street Lamp Brighter

Solar energy is developed and widely used in various industries. Unlike fossil fuels, the solar energy won't cause pollution to the environment, it's clean and energy-saving. To minimize the pollution on the earth as well as the energy consumption, solar energy has been successfully applied in the outdoor lighting-solar powered street lamp. The lamp provide high efficient illumination for the streets, roadways, highways, parking lots, etc. Even in off-grid areas, the solar powered street lamp can be installed. As long as there is sunlight, the lamp can generate electricity to achieve lighting. Lighting effect is what people concerned most. Some people think that solar street light is not bright as traditional street light. What can we do to make solar powered street lamp brighter? Follow us to find the answer.

1. Confirm the lighting requirement before purchasing

Some friends only pay attention to the quality and price control when purchasing solar powered street lamps, but ignore the requirements for brightness and wattage. Before buying, we must have a clear understanding of the brightness of solar street lights we need. Buy on demand, and use it later to meet our needs. The lighting effect will be slightly different if the LED Chip used is different. In order to prevent some friends from thinking that the street lamp is not as bright as they thought after receiving the street lamp, you can place a sample order first. After receiving the samples, you can buy them in bulk if you think it is appropriate. Outdoor lighting project usually requires a lot of solar powered street lamps.

2. Configure the solar powered street lamp properly

From the perspective of solar powered street lamp configuration, we must first understand the light coefficient, road width and height of the area and other information. The height of the lamp pole should be suitable for the brightness of the lamp holder, and the power of each period of use and the number of rainy days in this area should be suitable for the battery capacity. Choose the power of the battery that suitable for the storage capacity of the battery. After careful calculations, a suitable solar powered street lamp can be configured. If the street light is configured, the battery board power is too small, which will cause the battery to be unsatisfactory. It was normal at first use, but after a few rainy days, the light began to dim. It was completely dark in less than a year, which is more common.

If the battery capacity is too small, or the setting of the solar powered parking light controller is not in line with the actual local conditions, it will also cause the brightness to decrease significantly after more than 3 rainy days. This situation is prone to problems when there are many rainy days. Other times are normal. However, if the number of local rainy days often exceeds the setting of the controller, it will bring a huge burden to the battery, cause the battery to age, and affect the service life of the street lamp. Therefore, in order to ensure that the solar powered street lamp achieves the lighting effect required by the user, when configuring the street light, the manufacturer must configure it according to the specific local conditions of the user.

3. Choose proper installation height

The higher the street lamp, the wider the range of illumination, and the lower the illuminance per unit area. If the solar street lamp is installed too high, people naturally feel that it is not so bright under the street lamp. However, if the solar street light is installed too short, it will easily cause a waste of resources. In order to achieve the most suitable lighting effect, a professional solar powered street lamp manufacturer is required to give professional installation suggestions on the wattage of the street light.

4. Install the solar powered street lamp in right place

If solar powered street lamps are installed on both sides of the road, you must consider whether there are green plants on both sides of the road. Because solar street lights mainly rely on absorbing solar energy to convert electricity to power the street lights, once they are blocked by green plants, the conversion of electricity is restricted. Then the brightness of the solar street light to fail to meet the requirements. If this happens, you must adjust the height of the solar street light pole according to the actual situation or find a way to remove the green plants so that the solar panel is no longer blocked.
