Nowadays, the demand for courtyard lights is increasing significantly, and they can be seen in various locations. There are numerous styles of courtyard lights available, catering to a wide range of needs, allowing for style selection based on the surrounding environment. Courtyard lights are generally classified into powered and solar types. More and more people are opting for solar courtyard lights as they are environmentally friendly and energy saving. These solar courtyard lights are commonly used in urban roads, residential communities, industrial parks, and tourist areas. So, what materials are best for solar courtyard lights? In response to this question, the following is an introduction by Century Sunshine Lighting.
1. Strength
Aluminum has a low melting point and high flexibility, which makes it prone to deformation at high temperatures. Compared to steel, its strength is somewhat lower, making it unsuitable for areas with high winds. Steel, on the other hand, can be made thicker, providing greater stability and a support strength capable of withstanding winds of up to 36 km/s and earthquakes above magnitude 8.8.
2. Price
The manufacturing process for cast aluminum is complex, and its material cost is high due to several advantages, including unique shapes. Therefore, it is normal for the price of solar courtyard lights made from cast aluminum to be several times higher than those made from steel. In terms of design, cast aluminum solar courtyard lights are not necessarily the most beautiful or unique; beautifully designed solar courtyard lights can also be made from steel.
3. Craftsmanship
The craftsmanship of cast aluminum and cast iron is significantly more complex than that of steel. Taking aluminum as an example, the process begins by melting aluminum into a liquid form, which is then shaped using specialized molds. Various patterns are carved onto the aluminum rods, and after drying, they are galvanized and powder-coated. This process takes longer and is more complex than that for steel, which primarily involves cutting steel sheets into required conical sections and rolling them into light poles using a plate rolling machine. After welding, polishing, and other procedures, the finished products are also galvanized and powder-coated.
In conclusion, the materials best suited for solar courtyard lights have been shared here. Solar courtyard lights do not require complex and expensive wiring; their layouts can be adjusted easily. They are safe, energy-efficient, and pollution-free, utilizing intelligent control for the charging and on/off process with automatic light control, requiring no manual operation, ensuring stable and reliable operation, saving electricity costs, and needing no maintenance.
