Solar LED street lights play an important role in our lives. However, some customers have reported that newly installed LED solar street lights have failed after a period of use. Isn’t this a waste of costs? How can it be said to have such advantages? So, what factors actually affect solar street lights? This is certainly a concern for many users. Next, I will briefly introduce this. You can identify the reasons why LED solar street lights do not light up based on the following factors!
1. Light source: Generally, street lights use light sources such as low-pressure sodium lamps, low-pressure mercury-free lamps, and LED lights. LED solar street lights use LED light sources. Assuming they are used for 10 hours a day, their lifespan is at least 10 years. LED light sources are more expensive than ordinary light sources, but they are reliable in quality. They not only save energy but also can reduce the overall configuration cost of solar street lights.
2. Controller: The function of the solar controller is to control the solar panel’s charging of the battery and provide power for the solar street light. A stable solar controller plays an important role in the battery’s lifespan: it can not only achieve the expected effect but also protect the entire system. The usage environment of the street lights determines the protective strength of the controller itself. For instance, being protected from external moisture or rain can increase the lifespan of the entire system.
3. Battery: The quality and performance of the battery directly affect the lifespan of the street light. Generally, batteries with stable quality are chosen, which makes them more expensive than those from ordinary manufacturers. Good batteries last longer. Especially in northern regions where winters are cold, considering the environment’s effect on battery discharge, using gel batteries ensures a long lifespan and good discharge performance even in temperatures as low as -40 degrees.
The above three battery components are crucial, so it’s essential to take note of them!
