The emergence of solar street lights has brought more warm protection to rural areas where it is not convenient to lay cables, and has given people who are busy at night or come back late a little peace of mind. It has also played a role in beautifying rural roads. However, it costs a lot to install solar street lights, so you must be careful in controlling the quality of solar energy. When buying, you should avoid the following misunderstandings:
1. Judging quality by brightness
When many people buy solar street lights, the first thing they say when they get to the merchant is to look at the brightness of the solar street lights, thinking that the brighter the better. In fact, this is a bit of a generalization. Most solar street lights use LED street lamp heads, which are many times brighter than traditional street lights. However, just looking at the brightness cannot tell whether its quality is the best, but it depends on the overall configuration.
2. Simply look at the price
Many people always choose the lowest price when buying solar street lights, but you get what you pay for. Is the lowest price really good? Is its quality really guaranteed? The lower the price, the lower the configuration. The higher the price, the higher the configuration to a large extent. In short, it is not appropriate to simply look at the price of solar street lights, because you need to understand its overall configuration, then compare prices and choose the right street lights.
3. Ignore the radiator
When buying solar street lights, you will pay attention to the brightness, efficiency, lighting time and other aspects related to the lighting effect, but you will often ignore the problem of heat dissipation. If you don’t pay attention to this aspect, it will affect the service life of the solar street lights.
Solar street lights often have three ways of heat dissipation:
The first is heat dissipation by heat conducting plate, which conducts the generated heat to the outside of the lamp head through a conductor, which is equivalent to increasing the heat dissipation area and dissipating the heat source;
The second is heat dissipation by heat sink, which is installed on the lamp head, but it is an additional device after all. Although it has a heat dissipation effect, it also increases the weight, and there is a risk of being blown off in strong winds and other weather;
The third is needle heat dissipation. This heat dissipation device is small in size and not easily affected by the external environment. The heat dissipation effect is about 15% lower than that of ordinary ones. It is also very waterproof and has a very good effect. Nanlai solar street lights mainly use this heat dissipation device, which can effectively guarantee the service life of street lights.
4. Different power usage
Because solar street lights can be intelligently controlled, their power can be manually adjusted according to their needs at different times, so the rated power used is different.
5. Disregard after-sales service guarantee
As long as it is a street lamp, there will always be a time when there is a failure. These street lamps fail not only because of the quality of the street lamp itself, but also depend on the local weather. No one wants the solar street lights they buy to break down, and even if there are any, they don’t want to pay for the repairs themselves, right? In this case, we cannot underestimate the after-sales service guarantee of solar street lights. When purchasing solar street lights, we must choose a merchant with a good reputation.
The above misunderstandings about purchasing solar street lights are shared here. In short, if you want to choose a solar street light with a high cost performance, you must know the above 5 points, so that you can choose the right model according to your actual needs to avoid waste or affect the use.
