In recent years, solar street lamps have received much more attention in outdoor road lighting projects. These street lights are energy-saving, environmentally friendly, easy to install, and able to bring excellent lighting effects. Good solar street lights are not cheap, they have to withstand extreme weather such as storm, hurricane. How to further extend the lamp’s service life is very important.
It is well known that most street solar lamps adopt LED light sources in order to reduce energy consumption and ensure long service life. If you want to improve the lifetime of LED lamp, It should be ensured that street lamps run at constant current and heat dissipation is good.
To get longer life of solar street lights, you must choose new lithium battery and avoid overcharging or over-discharging through technical control. The temperature of battery should be controlled, not too high or too low. In addition, the energy storage module should be sealed well to prevent rain and dust from entering.
High efficiency solar panel which are not easily ashed should be used, too. If solar panels accumulate too much dust, the charging effect will be affected. With insufficient supply of electrical energy for long time, the lamp will be dimmed or even worse can’t light up for one whole night. In this case, it’s necessary to clean solar panels.
Solar controller, as an important part, is often overlooked in led street lights components. A good solar controller can ensure system a more stable operation and protect all modules from potential damage, which determines service life and economic cost of solar street lighting system.
Compared with traditional street lights, solar street lamps do not need to layout cables, but the lines connecting above components should be payed attention. Loose connections or aging of lines should be avoided. Road Smart is dedicated to providing high quality photovoltaic lighting products to the world.
