Solar street lights are not as bright as traditional street lights. Why is this? Solar street lights have characteristics such as safety, hazard-free operation, energy efficiency, no consumption, environmental protection, simple installation, automatic control, and maintenance-free usage. These benefits provide a clear advantage for building sales and municipal engineering construction. However, some people still believe that solar street lights are not as bright as traditional street lights. What is the reason for this? This phenomenon is problematic and can easily lead to misunderstandings and misconceptions about solar street lights. In this century, let’s explore why solar street lights are not as bright as traditional street lights.
Reasons why solar street lights are not as bright as traditional street lights:
1. Improper installation location:
Some solar street lights are not installed in appropriate locations, and obstacles around the solar street lights, such as leaves or building eaves, as well as various shadows, can diminish the functionality of solar panels in absorbing sunlight, reducing conversion efficiency, and leading to insufficient lighting.
2. Poor quality of solar street lights:
With the favorable market prospects for solar street lights, many manufacturers have entered the market. However, driven by profit, some malicious solar street light manufacturers intentionally compromise on quality. For example, if solar panels, controllers, and LED bulbs do not meet national standards, this can result in solar street lights failing to light up like traditional street lights.
3. Incorrectly configured solar street light controllers:
Perhaps the person installing the solar street lights did not set the controller correctly. Due to a lack of expertise or failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, the controller may not operate properly regarding lighting time and wattage, leading to unusual lighting performance.
The above explains the reasons why solar street lights in rural areas may not provide the same illumination as traditional street lights. If you have purchased solar street lights that also exhibit inadequate lighting compared to traditional lights, adjustments are necessary to fully utilize the capabilities of solar street lights. Additionally, proper maintenance in the future will not affect the performance of solar street lights.
