Solar garden lights come in various forms such as ground lights, lawn lights, wall lights, spotlights, and water feature lights. They are mainly used in places like villas, communities, parks, and squares, adding aesthetic value. Their working principle involves solar panels absorbing sunlight and converting it into electric energy, usually operating below 6 meters to replace conventional garden lights.
Streetlights powered by mains electricity are primarily used for urban or rural road lighting, typically ranging from 5 to 10 meters in height, with a variety of pole types available.
How can solar garden lights be arranged to showcase their charm? Let’s explore the key points of lighting design.
1. In garden lighting, it is advisable to use energy-saving bulbs, LED lights, metal halide lights, and high-pressure sodium lights as warm light sources. Cold light sources or colored light sources are generally not suitable for private gardens. To enhance the softness and comfort of the light, floodlights are commonly selected. In simple terms, these lights have a cover on top that allows light to shine and reflect outward or downward, avoiding direct upward light which can be harsh on the eyes.
2. The style of garden lights should match the garden’s overall style. If there are difficulties in selection, minimalist designs such as square or rectangular shapes are versatile choices. For colors, black, dark gray, and bronze tones are preferred, while white should be used sparingly.
3. Ensure the lighting standards within the area are met; specific data can be referred to in relevant guidelines.
4. Place street or garden lights appropriately according to road size. Roads wider than 6 meters should have lights symmetrically placed on both sides or arranged in a zigzag pattern, with light fixtures maintaining a distance of 15 to 25 meters. For roads narrower than 6 meters, lights should be installed unilaterally, keeping them 15 to 18 meters apart.
5. Garden lights and lawn lights should maintain an illumination level between 15 and 40 lux, with the distance from the edge of the road kept within 0.3 to 0.5 meters.
6. Underwater lights should operate at a voltage of 12V and utilize an isolated transformer.
7. For underground lights, the full burial is recommended, with power ideally between 3W and 12W.
8. Streetlights and garden lights require lightning protection design, using galvanized flat steel not less than 25mm×4mm as grounding electrodes, maintaining ground resistance below 10 ohms.
9. Avoid designing step lights.
The layout method for mains-powered streetlights:
1. Layout method: For road width W ≤ lamp height h: lights on one side; for road width W = 1 to 1.5h: staggered lights; for road width W > 1.5h: relative lights; on very narrow streets with building walls on both sides: hang lights in the middle with a distance of 10 to 20 meters between them. For roads with central isolation strips, a combination of centrally suspended lights with relative lights can be used.
2. Curves should be considered in terms of turning radius.
