We all know that good things should be cherished.
We hope that items purchased for thousands of dollars will be worth the investment and can be used for a long time. However, we cannot solely rely on the manufacturer’s quality to ensure the normal operation of streetlights; daily maintenance and management should also be noted:
1. Battery: Select a stable performance battery. The installation must be thorough to prevent water ingress and other unexpected factors, as this can indirectly affect the lifespan of the streetlight.
2. If the solar panels are partially covered or damaged, their work efficiency will be greatly affected. If only 10% of the solar panel is covered, the power generation efficiency will drop by 50%. This means the system’s operating current may not reach the rated working current, resulting in the battery often being in a discharged state, which significantly impacts its lifespan.
3. Lighting Source: Different light sources have varying lifespans. Options include low-pressure sodium lamps, low-pressure induction lamps, LED lamps, and low-pressure fluorescent lamps. Currently, sodium and LED lamps are the most commonly used. Sodium lamps are inexpensive but have a shorter lifespan. High-quality LED lamps can last up to 50,000 hours, meaning that if used for 10 hours a day, they can last for over a decade. Therefore, choosing a good light source is crucial.
LED solar street lights are also very affordable.
4. Light Source Starter: Different starting methods require different ballasts or driver power sources. This aspect significantly affects the light source, especially for LED lights. It is common to use a constant current source to drive LED lights. The quality of the constant current source and whether its parameter settings are suitable for the light source is very important, focusing on constant current accuracy, output efficiency, protection circuits, and parameter ranges.
5. If the solar panels are partially covered or damaged, their work efficiency will be greatly affected. If only 10% of the solar panel is covered, the power generation efficiency will drop by 50%, meaning the system may not reach the rated operating current, causing the battery to often be in a discharged state, which significantly affects its lifespan.
