2023 Five-Star Review Solar Street Light

As an employee in the solar street lighting industry for over a decade, I recently evaluated a one-star (black exterior) solar street light in our last assessment. This time, I have reviewed a five-star (silver-gray exterior) solar street light.

Here, We will compare them and inform everyone why I ultimately give such scores. At the same time, I also welcome everyone to learn about various types of solar streetlights.

The following is a comparison：

1. Have a Brighter and better light distribution

This five-star rated solar street light（left one)  is brighter than others

 

The following are the display effect pictures of the two types of solar street lights.

▼The actual situation of light shining on the road with the other type of solar street light.

 

It can be seen that the light distribution of this solar street light is not even.
There are bright and dark, and it is dangerous for us to walk or drive at night.

▼The actual situation of light shining on the road with this solar street light with five-star reviews.

We can see most of the light more evenly,  there are no black spots and we are safer both walking and driving.

2, Real product description, not false marking wattage

There are some solar street lights labeled 1000 watts，1000 watts!!!  Do you believe it? I don’t believe it!
Solar street light has true luminous flux, solar panel, and battery capacity. These are very important information. It would be nice if it could tell us how many hours it can operate based on a full output of lumens.

I know this can be calculated based on its capacity, voltage, and current, but how? It’s too hard for the end user!

3 . Very good waterproof performance

Many solar street lights have very poor waterproof ability, no rubber ring, and no glue, which greatly affects the life of solar street lights. But the Solar Street Light with Five-Star Review
The solar panel is located between the luminaire and the housing and fixed with glue, very safe. On the other side, the transparent PC cover is located, between the luminaire, and the housing, which is also filled with silicone. It has a very good waterproof function.

4. Better quality and materials

First: Solar street light Battery type

A-class LiFePO4 Lithium> B-class LiFePO4 Lithium>Ternary Li-ion Lithium> Broken Lithium detached from the electric car（D-class）, over 90% of Solar street light manufacturers use broken lithium battery which is detached from Electricity car, lifespan less than one year.

If you want to buy high-quality solar street lights, Belinda suggests you choose an A-class A-class LiFePO4 battery or a B-class Lifepo4 battery, Although their cost is higher than other batteries, their lifespan will be extended by more than three to five years. if you need to install solar street lights in places where the sun is not particularly sufficient, we can also choose to use a Ternary lithium battery.

Second: Solar street light Solar panel size Case and Bracket Material

Quality solar street lights use a customized die-casting aluminum mold, The advantages of die-casting aluminum mold are lightweight, strong corrosion-resistant, and anti-rust. Making it able to resist a strong wind load of up to 130MPH, stainless steel screws are used as fasteners to protect against any harsh weather. The die-casting aluminum mold is elegant and characteristic.

Lower quality solar street lights just use mold and rough craft, the installing structure needs support by Knighthead, to recover the structure strength issue, making installation more complex, lack of stability, and not anti-strong wind.

Third: Whether heat Dissipation between solar panels and light

In summer, the solar panel is as hot as 90°C, and 70°C inside the solar lamp body. (We have tested )

Hot will damage the battery and LED source, so we separate the hot solar panel and it has a shadow, makes solar street light cool, and enlarges the lifespan of the battery and LED source.

Conclusion:

In recent years, many customers often complained that the solar street lights they bought do not work properly or do not work even in less than six months. Because some suppliers are looking for quick profits in a hurry but do not pay attention to the quality standard of their brand products. A very good quality solar street light can last more than 5-8 years.

Solar street lights systems are project products, usually, a project needs dozens to thousands of sets of solar street lights, if you accidentally choose a low-quality solar street light, you will suffer huge losses, so I recommend customers choose carefully, do not just focus on low-cost products, and I hope that my summary of choose quality solar street light experience can give you some help.
