Nowadays, garden lights are favored by most people, and the demand for them is growing. Garden lights can be seen in many places. They are generally classified into powered and solar types. More and more people are choosing solar garden lights due to their environmental friendliness and energy efficiency. Solar garden lights are commonly used in urban roads, residential areas, industrial parks, and tourist areas. So, how should we install and maintain solar garden lights? Here is an introduction from the Century Sunshine Lighting editorial team.
Installation of solar garden lights:
1. The light source for solar garden lights should use low power, high-color high-pressure sodium lamps, metal halide lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, and incandescent lamps.
2. Careful attention should be paid to the grounding of solar garden lights. The metal pole and accessible bare wires of the fixtures should be reliably connected to the PEN line. The grounding wire should be set as a single dry line and arranged along the solar garden light to form a loop network. The grounding trunk line should be connected to the grounding device in at least two places.
3. After the installation of powered lights is completed, insulation testing and inspection must be conducted before power-on testing. Once powered, conduct a thorough inspection to check if the light controls are flexible and accurate; whether the switches correspond with the control sequence of the fixtures. If any issues are found, immediately cut off the power, identify the cause, and make repairs.
Maintenance of solar garden lights:
1. Do not hang items on the lights, as this greatly reduces the lifespan of the garden lights.
2. Regularly check the lamp tubes for aging and replace them in time. If both ends of the lamp tube appear red and the tube itself turns black or dark, it indicates that the lamp tube has begun to age and should be replaced according to the light source parameters provided.
3. Avoid frequent switching, as this greatly shortens the lifespan of solar garden lights.
This concludes our discussion on the installation and maintenance of solar garden lights. They are typically suitable for illuminating villas, hotel gardens, landscape gardens, parks, and residential streets. Solar garden lights not only provide basic outdoor lighting but also beautify the landscape and shape the nighttime environment.
