This summer has arrived, bringing not only heat but also heavy storms. Even in severe weather,
solar street lights remain steadfast. All road lighting systems are subjected to rigorous quality inspections at the factory. However, over time, unexpected issues may arise, and public facilities such as solar street lights and LED street lights may experience increasing failures due to rising temperatures and climate changes.
So, the question arises: how should we respond to the issues faced by solar LED street lights in summer? Here is a guide to help:
1. Most regions in our country belong to a subtropical monsoon climate; during summer, they are often hit by typhoons and strong winds. These strong winds pose significant challenges to tall and weakly anchored street lights, frequently causing issues like the falling of solar panels or fixtures, leaning poles, or even toppled lights. Such problems not only hinder normal lighting but also present great safety hazards for pedestrians and vehicles on the road. Therefore, we must conduct safety inspections and preventive maintenance on solar and LED street lights ahead of strong winds.
It is essential to check the solar lights on-site to see if the panels or lights are shaky, whether the poles are leaning, and if the foundation bolts are secure or loose. If any issues are found, they should be addressed promptly to prevent accidents.
2. With the sharp rise in temperature, the energy storage of batteries is also affected. We should regularly check the previous batteries and replace those that cannot meet operational requirements in a timely manner to ensure normal functioning.
3. Inspect the waterproof performance of the systems. Open the door at the bottom of the solar lights and take out the controller to check for poor contacts, water ingress, or tape coming off. If any issues are discovered, make necessary adjustments promptly to eliminate safety hazards. Due to heavy rainfall in summer, although rainwater generally won’t enter the light poles, condensation from water vapor can cause short circuits. Additionally, summer storms may lead to unusually deep water accumulation, making it essential to be proactive in preventing potential issues.
