Although our country has achieved household electricity access, outdoor lighting is still insufficient. Therefore, when installing outdoor lighting, the first consideration should be whether the power supply is adequate. However, using solar street lights eliminates this concern, requiring only the digging of a foundation pit, which simplifies the process. Thus, if the electrical infrastructure is lacking, solar street lights are preferable. However, many consumers report that solar street lights can sometimes have inconsistent brightness. What are the reasons for this flickering? The following is an overview of the issue.
Main reasons for solar street lights not shining:
1. The selected battery capacity may be too small, leading to insufficient power supply; or the solar street light controller may not be waterproof, resulting in failure and poor contact during prolonged rainy days. This situation burdens the battery, potentially causing it to age prematurely.
2. The solar panel may have insufficient power, preventing timely charging of the battery. This issue generally appears after some time of use, leading to gradual dimming until it is nearly unlit after about a year.
3. It may also be caused by the LED lamp head having too high a power rating, which can lead to excessive battery discharge and premature aging.
Solutions:
When choosing solar street lights, long-term considerations should be taken into account. To save costs, one should avoid collaborating with non-professional manufacturers to purchase cheap solar street lights assembled by amateurs. Instead, one should work with manufacturers to select solar street lights that are suitable for local conditions based on road width, sunlight exposure, and weather characteristics. After adjustments of power and lighting duration by the manufacturer, regular maintenance and inspections should be conducted to detect issues early. If there are specialized problems that cannot be resolved by general personnel, the manufacturer should be contacted for on-site solutions. Casual disassembly by non-professionals can damage other circuits or components, leading to unnecessary losses.
This concludes our discussion on the reasons for the flickering of solar street lights. We hope this article is helpful. If you have other questions regarding solar street lights, please follow the manufacturer or leave a message. We look forward to discussing with you!
