Solar garden lights are widely used in villas and gardens, saving electricity and easy to install. Even in remote areas where the power grid cannot be set up, solar garden lights can ensure normal lighting. Therefore, many places have chosen to install solar street lights, but we find one issue. Most solar energy sources are far away, yet the vast majority use LED lights as the lighting source for solar garden lights. Why is that?
Solar street lights typically consist of LED light source, solar panels, lithium battery packs, controllers, and light poles. LEDs are the main lighting devices. Let’s discuss their advantages today.
Installing LED lights as a light source is very convenient and can be done directly. Other light sources can be very inconvenient to install, often requiring more than four hours to set up a single lamp.
Another reason why LEDs are the main force in solar garden lights is that LED light sources come in various colors, such as white and warm yellow. This allows them to create the best effects in different usage scenarios and ambient environments, and can also meet customer demands for a wide range of dynamic changes, even displaying various patterns.
Another significant advantage of LED light sources is their low energy consumption. The efficiency of LED light sources is 20 times that of high-pressure sodium lamps, meaning that for the same level of illumination, LED lights consume less electrical energy and have better efficiency than traditional light sources.
LED light sources are a type of directional lighting source, which determines that their lighting effect is better than that of ordinary high-pressure sodium lamps. Standard lighting fixtures do not diffuse enough to achieve the intended effect.
LED light sources also have a very long lifespan, as they have low light decay—only 3% per year. Such low decay allows solar street lights to operate for over 50,000 hours, significantly reducing maintenance costs.
Additionally, LED light sources are environmentally friendly, non-radiative, and produce minimal glare that could cause light pollution. For these reasons, LED light sources can be considered the preferred lighting source for solar garden lights.
