Why is Solar Street Lamp Not Bright As Traditional Street Light?

Installation of solar street lamps can help you see clearly in the night. It's an outdoor lighting solution fully powered by solar energy. During the day, the photovoltaic panel absorbs the solar energy and stores the energy into battery. When the night comes, the battery will power the street light under the command of controller. By using the clean and energy-saving solar energy, electricity bills can be saved. However, some people may reflect the solar street lamp is not as bright as traditional street light. Why? Of course, this is a misunderstanding. But why will some people have such midunderstandings? Let's find the reasons.

1. The solar street lamp is not installed in the proper position

Some solar street lamps are not installed in the right position, and there are obstructions around them, such as the leaves of big trees, the eaves of buildings, and even various shadows, which can reduce the effect of solar panels on absorbing solar energy. When the conversion rate drops, the light emitted is naturally not bright. Because the solar street lamps electricity comes from the solar energy absorbed through solar panels, if you think the solar street lamps are not bright enough, you can check whether the solar panels are installed correctly.

2. The solar street lamp controller is not set

If the solar street lamp is not bright enough, it is also possible that the person who installed the solar street lamp did not set up the controller correctly, and did not follow the instructions of the solar street lamp manufacturer to operate, resulting in the controller not being able to correctly control the lighting time, wattage and other aspects.

3. Poor quality of solar street lamps

The quality of solar street lamps on the market varies. Many solar street lamp manufacturers may provide false parameters, because some users blindly pursue low prices. Solar road lights are composed of controllers, batteries, light sources, solar panels and other accessories. The performance of each accessory will affect the service life of solar street lamps. It can be said that the configuration of solar street lamps determines the price of solar street lamps, so you need to find a professional solar street lamp manufacturer. Only by configuring solar street lamps according to the real needs of users and the local climate can the real needs of users be met. Low price means low configuration, so the brightness of solar street lamps naturally does not meet the original requirements of customers.

4. Solar street lamps are not full-power lighting all the time

The higher the configuration of solar street lamps, the higher the price of solar street lamps. If the solar street lamp has been maintained at 100% power, the price will be very high, exceeding the budget of most customers. Therefore, the current solar street lamps adopt intelligent control mode. When someone passes by, the street light will be on for 10 seconds at 100% power, and the street light will remain dimly bright when there is no one (the power drops to 30%). Some users may see the dim mode of the street light, so they think that the solar street lamp is not bright enough.

How bright is the solar street lamp would be good? The needs of each user are different. As long as the solar street lamp manufacturer configures the solar street lamp reasonably according to the user's needs, the brightness of the street light can fully meet the user requirements. If the solar street lamp you bought is not as bright as the traditional street lamp, you can check it based on the above reasons.
