Advantages of Using Solar Lights

Most solar lights do not require trenching for wires. This is especially important for outdoor lighting such as street lights and garden lights. Typically, traditional outdoor lighting requires long trenches of wire. Sadly, it comes with a high installation cost. However, if you choose solar lights, you don’t need to pay high fees for wire trenching installation.

Solar street lights are completely powered by solar energy and do not require any external power supply. Less energy consumption means fewer carbon emissions. Therefore, every solar street light installation can contribute to reducing carbon emissions. In addition, the light source of almost all solar motion sensor lights is LED. Compared with traditional light sources, LED is also a green light source.

Solar powered lights can save you a hefty amount of money in the long run. Not to mention that the equipment and the installation are also low cost. Here we have listed a table of the cost of solar lights compared to ordinary lights.

Cost of solar lights VS traditional lights Comparation

Typically, traditional lights require wire connections. So you’ll need to hire an electrician to install them. Installing it yourself without adequate knowledge may result in unwanted electrical shock. But outdoor solar lights do not require wiring. You can install them quickly and easily. So you don’t need to worry about the risk of electric shock.

Most traditional light fixtures are connected to 110V to 220V AC power. Electric lights sometimes leak electricity, which can be life-threatening if you accidentally touch them. However, if you choose a solar motion sensor light, you can be sure you and your family will not be shocked because they are battery-powered low-voltage DC sources (typically 3V to 24V DC voltage). Even with electricity, it is safe for the human body to touch its pole.

The main component of solar outdoor lights is a semiconductor. These semiconductor devices have intelligent control functions that are easy to implement. So solar powered lights are more convenient and user-friendly. Generally, most solar lights have the following parts: remote control, light source dimming, automatic timing dimming, and dark-to-dawn dimming.

This topic is more professional. First of all, all solar lights are LED light sources, and LED light sources are the third-generation light sources with the highest light efficiency. By 2022, the LED chip with the highest luminous efficiency on the market can reach about 230lm/w. As a solar light manufacturer, we usually use these high-efficiency LED chips in solar street lights. Secondly, compared with ordinary LED lights, solar street lights do not need to convert high-voltage alternating current into low-voltage direct current. A power supply is installed inside the standard LED lamp, which is used to convert high-voltage AC power into low-voltage DC power supply for the LED chip. And this power supply will lose part of the power during work, about 10%. Therefore, the light efficiency of solar lights is about 10% higher than that of ordinary led lights.

One of the main advantages of solar street lights is that they can be used remotely. Many remote areas, such as mountains and islands, cannot access electricity. The government needs to find a way to afford to install electricity in these areas due to the high cost of electricity. But with solar street lights, they can now install lights in their area. Light up their nights even without electricity.
