According to the physical structure of the entire solar street light, we can divide the solar street lights on the market into all-in-one solar lights and all-in-two solar street lights. Which of these two types of lights is the best? How should we choose? I believe that after looking at the characteristics of each type, we will naturally be able to combine our own needs and choose the one that is most suitable for us.
All-in-two solar street lights integrate the battery, controller, and light source within the fixture, forming a single unit, and when combined with a separate solar panel, it makes up the all-in-two solar street light. The all-in-two solar street light solution is mainly based on lithium batteries, leveraging their small size and light weight to achieve this design.
Easy Installation: Since the light source and battery are pre-connected with the controller before leaving the factory, the LED light only has one wire for the solar panel. Just connect the interface wire to the solar panel.
High Cost-Effectiveness: Simple installation reduces labor costs.
Multiple Power Options and Broad Applicability: With the increasing popularity of all-in-two solar street lights, various solar street light manufacturers have introduced their molds, making the choices increasingly varied in size. This means there are many options for light source power and battery sizes. Thus, small areas like home gardens, medium areas like rural roads, and large areas like main roads in towns can all find solutions within all-in-two solar street lights, providing great convenience for project implementation.
Though all-in-two solar street lights are gradually becoming the main force of solar lights, they inevitably have some limitations.
Large System Limitations: The battery compartment size is fixed when the light fixture is molded, so with high-power light sources and high demands for working time and rainy days, the battery compartment may become inadequate. One has to compromise or balance these three aspects—power, working time, and rainy day support—to derive a more balanced system.
Restrictions in Very Cold Areas: As the lithium battery is fixed within the light fixture and the compartment size is set, it is impossible to solve the battery temperature issue through underground installation in very cold areas. Only special low-temperature batteries can ensure normal low-temperature operation, but these are relatively expensive, adding some inconvenience for use in such regions.
The all-in-one solar light integrates the battery, controller, light source, and solar panel all into the light fixture. It is more thorough in integration than the all-in-two solar street light.
Advantages of All-in-One Solar Lights
Easy Installation and No Wiring Needed: All-in-one solar lights have all wires pre-connected, so customers don't need to do any wiring, which is a great convenience for them.
Easy Transportation and Freight Savings: All components are concentrated in one box, reducing volume and saving on shipping costs.
Suitable Areas: Low-latitude areas with very good sunlight. Good sunlight can alleviate solar power limitations, and low latitude can solve the solar panel angle issues. Therefore, you'll find that all-in-one solar lights are mostly exported to regions like Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
Usage Places: Courtyards, paths, parks, residential areas, and other pedestrian-dominated roads. These small roads mainly serve pedestrians who move slowly, so the lighting requirements are low, and all-in-one solar street lights can meet these needs well.
If you are looking for an efficient and environmentally friendly lighting solution, Shenzhen Beatles Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (JKCSOLAR)'s all-in-one solar lights and all-in-two solar street lights will be your ideal choice. JKCSOLAR's all-in-one solar lights integrate the solar panel, battery, and light fixture into one, easy to install and compact in structure, making them perfect for residential communities, rural roads, and other areas, being both energy-saving and aesthetically pleasing.
On the other hand, the all-in-two solar street lights separate the light fixture and solar panel, suitable for places with higher lighting range and brightness requirements like squares, parking lots, and urban roads. This design ensures lighting flexibility and efficiency, providing users with stronger illumination coverage. Whether you choose the all-in-one solar light or the all-in-two solar street light, Shenzhen Beatles Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (JKCSOLAR) offers high-quality and durable products to create a green and smart lighting experience for you.
