Application of Different Types of Solar Street Lights

Solar street lights are an essential part of rural road illumination. They provide safety for people traveling at night and enrich nighttime activities. Therefore, choosing the right solar street light and the right solar lamp factory is important. However, there are many types of solar street LED lights, and their applications vary. So, how do you choose the right solar lights and avoid being misled into buying unsuitable ones? Shenzhen Beatles Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (JKCSOLAR) tells you how.


Split-Type Solar Street Lights


Split-type solar street lights do not have specific lighting occasions; they are the most common and widely applicable. From South to North, from squares, streets, to residential areas, regardless of the installation environment, they can meet any different configuration requirements. In areas with long rainy days, the configuration requirements are higher, the solar panel area and battery capacity should be larger. In places with good lighting conditions, the configuration requirements are lower, the solar panel area and battery capacity can be smaller.


We classify split-type solar street lights into lithium battery solar street lights, lead-acid battery solar street lights, and gel battery solar street lights. The battery of the former is hung on the light pole or the solar panel bracket, while the latter two types require underground installation. Lithium batteries are superior to lead-acid batteries in performance, transportation, and installation, and are usually the preferred choice.


The components of split-type solar street lights exist independently of each other and can be combined as needed. They have strong adaptability, diverse designs, and can quickly blend into any installation environment.


All-in-One Integrated Solar Street Lights


All-in-one integrated solar street lights are in contrast to split-type lights. What does all-in-one mean? It means the light source, battery, and solar panel are integrated into one unit.


A single light head of an all-in-one integrated solar street light includes the solar panel, lithium battery, controller, and light source. Its installation is convenient, the appearance is simple and elegant, and it doesn't require complex assembly or wiring. It can start working by simply being mounted on a light pole or hung on a wall.


All-in-one integrated solar street lights have an internal intelligent radar sensing system that can automatically turn on based on moving objects. This design not only saves battery power, enhancing the street light's endurance but also underscores the concept of smart street lighting.


All-in-one integrated solar street lamp series are high-end and stylish. However, the size of the solar panel and lithium battery configuration is limited by the size of the light head, making them more suitable for areas with lower configuration requirements.


P.S. The range of split-type and all-in-one solar light is broad. Other types of solar lights can also be categorized into these two types based on installation methods and internal structures. For example, both types can be wall-mounted, hoop-mounted, and installed on light poles, providing a wide range of installation environments, better effects, and more market applications.


Solar Flood Lights


Solar flood lights are suitable for rooftops, garden gates, courtyards, open-air balconies, and corridors. Their small size allows them to be matched according to the scale of the building, creating a beautiful ambiance. Solar flood lights do not take up space, are easy to install, and are affordable, making them suitable for rural areas. Using flood lights for courtyard lighting is a cost-effective choice, especially in places with abundant sunlight.


The solar system comprises a bracket, an LED light head, a solar light controller, a battery (including a battery insulation box), and a light pole. The solar panel components generally use monocrystalline silicon or polycrystalline silicon solar panels; the LED light head generally uses high-power LED light sources; the controller usually has light control, time control, overcharge and over-discharge protection, and reverse connection protection. More advanced controllers can adjust lighting time according to the seasons, halve the power, and have intelligent charging and discharging functions. Solar lights work automatically without the need for trenching and cabling, but the light pole needs to be installed on embedded components (concrete bases).
