Traps to Avoid When Purchasing Solar Street Light

With the rapid growth of the global economy, energy demand has increased significantly, and the contradiction between supply and demand has become prominent. In recent years, China's electricity consumption has also grown rapidly, and outdoor lighting generates a large amount of electricity bills every year. At present, our country mainly uses coal-fired power supply, and the pressure of coal supply is relatively high. Nowadays, new energy-saving products, solar street lights, have been widely promoted. Due to the increasing demand for solar street lights, many solar street light manufacturers have emerged in the market. The quality of these street lighting fixtures varies, and the prices are also uneven. Some unscrupulous manufacturers provide customers with inferior products in order to sell their products. For customers who do not understand, it is easy to buy products of poor quality at high prices. Therefore, before buying solar street lights, be sure to keep your eyes open. In this article, we will introduce some traps to avoid before buying street lights.

1. Exaggerate configuration parameters

The fierce competition in the solar street light outdoor market has also led to many inferior manufacturers' false standard parameters, such as power false standard and reduced thickness of light poles. Or reduce the capacity of solar panels and batteries, resulting in solar street lights unable to support the continuous rainy day lighting promised in the design. This is the main method used by unscrupulous manufacturers to reduce prices and disrupt the market. It is difficult for customers to find that the configuration of solar street lights with motion sensors has been lowered, so it is best to find large manufacturers with strong brands to buy solar street lights. Large manufacturers usually have their own factories, and the quality of their products is guaranteed.

2. Chip brand and quality.

The LED chip directly determines the performance and price of the lamp! The LED light source is unidirectional, and the lighting effect is better than ordinary lamp holders, the color rendering index is also high, and there will be no diffusion phenomenon; and the LED light source is a low-energy product with high luminous efficiency. Most high-quality solar street lights use led light sources. Some unscrupulous merchants take advantage of their customers' unprofessionalism and use chips from small manufacturers to pretend to be large-brand chips, or low-grade chips from the same manufacturer to pretend to be high-quality chips to deceive consumers. As the use time of low-quality LED light sources increases, the light decay will gradually become serious, which will affect the service life of solar street lights.

3. Sacrifice scientific light distribution system design in order to reduce costs.

To reduce cost, inferior manufacturers change or even cancle the light distribution system which will seriously affect the lighting effect. Cause problems such as black under the lamp and uneven illumination. If you are not a professional, it is difficult to find these problems.

4. Poor heat dissipation design

In terms of heat dissipation design, every time the PN junction temperature of the LED chip increases by 10 degrees, the service life of the semiconductor device will be reduced by multiples. Due to the high brightness requirements of LED solar street lights with motion sensors, the use environment is relatively harsh. If the heat dissipation is not solved well, it will quickly cause the LED to age and reduce the stability.

The above traps to pay attention to when purchasing solar street lights are shared here. Fierce competition will inevitably lead to price wars, and it is inevitable that inferior manufacturers will cheat consumers, so you have to be careful of these "traps" when purchasing.

Shenzhen EXC-LED Technology Co., Ltd., established in September 2009, is a national high-tech enterprise integrating LED intelligent lighting products and cloud control system design, R&D, production, sales and service. It is committed to provide reliable outdoor lighting solutions for global customers. After ten years of struggle, the company was successfully listed on the Shenzhen Growth Enterprise Market in September 2020, becoming the first listed company in the field of outdoor led lighting.
