How is the wind resistance of solar street lights?

Because the application range of solar street lights outdoor is very wide, if they are installed at the seaside or on the top of a mountain, people attach great importance to the wind resistance of solar street lights. Solar street lights are usually designed according to different wind resistance standards. The wind resistance level is usually measured by "wind force level." At present, many high-quality solar energy street lights can withstand wind forces of level 6 to 12 (equivalent to medium to strong winds) and can even withstand stronger wind speeds under special designs.

Do the outdoor solar street lights need maintenance?

Yes, but the maintenance of solar street light outdoor is very simple. You only need to clean the solar panels, bulbs, etc. regularly, check the street lights regularly for any damage, and ensure that they are facing the correct direction. Remove any obstacles that may block the direct sunlight of the street lights at any time. In addition, during the use of solar street lights, you should also regularly check the screws and bolts to ensure that they are tightened, and replace any worn or damaged parts in time. In this way, with just a little attention, solar street light outdoor can provide you with many years of trouble-free lighting.

Will solar street lights light up when it rains?

Yes, because solar street lights have a power storage function, so they can light up in rainy weather, However, if you encounter extreme weather conditions, such as long-term rain or snowstorms, the battery may not be fully charged, which may affect the brightness and duration of the light. In addition, we can ensure the best performance of solar panels in any weather conditions by keeping them clean.

Are solar street lights waterproof?

Yes, because solar street lights are installed outdoors, they need to withstand different weather conditions, including rain and snow. For solar street lights outdoor, the waterproof level usually needs to reach at least IP65. In addition, the lampshade, battery box and controller of solar energy street lights are usually specially designed to prevent rain and moisture from entering.

What are the different types of solar street lights?

There are many types of solar street lights, each designed for different applications and needs.
1. Standalone solar street lights: These are completely self-contained systems with the solar panel, battery, LED light, and controller all integrated into one unit, suitable for areas where grid electricity is not available, such as rural roads or parks.
2. All-in-one solar street lights: Compact systems with the solar panel, LED light, battery, and controller all integrated into one unit, used in residential areas, paths, and smaller streets.
3. Solar hybrid street lights: These lights use both solar energy and traditional electricity (grid electricity). If solar energy is insufficient, the grid will supply power. Ideal for areas with uneven sunlight or high energy demand.
4. Split solar street lights: The solar panel and lighting fixture are separate, so the panel can be placed in the best sunlight position, suitable for areas with shading problems or uneven sunlight distribution.
5. 2-in-1 solar street lights: The battery is separated from the lighting fixture, but integrated with the solar panel. The lighting fixture is mounted on a pole and can be used on larger roads, highways, or industrial areas.
6. Smart Solar Street Lights: These are advanced street lights with smart features such as motion sensors, dimming control and remote management, used in smart cities, highways and urban areas with advanced infrastructure.
7. Portable Solar Street Lights: Smaller and portable, they can be moved from one place to another as needed and can be used for temporary lighting at construction sites, events or emergencies.

How far apart are the solar street lights installed?

The installation spacing of solar street lights in different usage environments is also different. It is mainly determined based on the actual application of solar energy street lights, including lighting requirements, light pole height, road width, and light source brightness of solar street lights. When designing a project, professional illumination calculations are usually performed to ensure lighting uniformity and light efficiency. Generally speaking, the spacing of solar street lights is 5 to 6 times the installation height, that is, if the height of our solar street light pole is 16 feet, then the spacing of the lamps is recommended to be 80 to 96 feet. If you are undecided, you can consult the supplier of solar street lights specifically.
