Will Solar Light Street Lamp Take Place Led Street Light?

Solar light street lamps and LED street lights are the core two types of outdoor lighting products. LED street lights are more commonly installed on urban and rural roads. Although the penetration rate of LED street lights is less than half, it will be the mainstream of China future lighting. In fact, not only China, but the world is promoting LED street lights to replace high-pressure sodium lamps that consume a lot of energy and pollution. The energy-saving and environmental protection of LED street lights is the biggest advantage. With the development of new technologies and the reduction of costs, the advantages of LED street lights will be further amplified.

Solar light street lamp is a road lighting solution that has emerged in recent years. In fact, it also uses LED lamps, but its most prominent feature is solar power generation, which does not require electricity supply. LED street lights are definitely the mainstream in the future, so can solar light street lamps replace LED street lights? First of all, we have to make a comprehensive analysis of these two types of lighting fixtures.

1. LED street light

Simply put, LED street lights are street lights that use LEDs as the light source. They have unique advantages such as high efficiency, safety, energy saving, environmental protection, long lifespan, fast response, and high color rendering index. They are of great significance to urban lighting energy saving. Traditional street lamps often use high-pressure sodium lamps, resulting in a huge waste of energy. With the development of technology, LED light sources with the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, and long life are gradually being applied to the street lamp industry. LED street lights are gradually replacing traditional street lights and become an important choice for energy-saving transformation of road lighting.

2. Solar light street lamp

Solar light street lamps can be said to be an upgraded version of LED street lights. Traditional LED street lights need to rely on power supply for lighting. Solar light street lamps use solar energy as energy source and LED as light source. During the day, the solar panels absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy and store it in the battery. At night, the battery powers the LED light source. Solar light street lamps are energy-saving and environmentally friendly, with low investment costs. If you want to install traditional street lights, you not only need to dig holes and lay the cables, but the electricity bill is also high. A lot of manpower and material resources were wasted. However, the installation of solar light street lamps still has certain limitations. First of all, we need to consider the local climatic conditions and whether there is sufficient sunlight. If the local weather is rainy all year round, then solar light street lamps can't fully absorb solar energy, so good lighting effects will not be achieved. Moreover, solar light street lamps are not suitable for places that require high-intensity lighting, because the price of solar light street lamps is determined by its configuration. High-intensity lighting means high configuration and high price. Many people can't afford the solar street light price.

From the above analysis, we can understand that solar light street lamps can be a combination of LED light source and solar energy. Although solar light street lamps have more advantages than LED street lights. It is also impossible to completely replace traditional led street lights.
