Which is preferable: an integrated solar street light or split solar street light?

Because solar street lamps use solar energy to generate renewable resources, do not cause pollution, and can provide electricity continuously, solar street lamp products adopt lighting design schemes, with high brightness, easy assembly, stable work, no laying of cables, and no need Consumption of conventional energy and other advantages, and in recent years, various countries have accelerated urban construction and new rural construction, so it is widely welcomed by all walks of life around the world.

However, there are many types of solar street lights, the most important ones are split solar street lights and integrated solar street lights, so people will have doubts when purchasing. I will introduce the difference between the two clearly in this article. Things to pay attention to when purchasing.

◆Difference between integrated street lights & split street lights?

The working principle of the integrated solar street light is basically the same as that of the traditional solar street light. Structurally, the integrated solar street light puts the lamp head, battery board, battery, and controller in one lamp head, which can be equipped with a light pole or a pick arm. The battery, LED lamp holder, and photovoltaic panel of the split solar street light are separated. This kind of solar street light must be equipped with a light pole, and the battery is buried underground.

The design and installation of the integrated solar lamp are easier and lighter. It saves the cost of installation, construction, and commissioning, as well as the cost of product transportation.

The maintenance of solar-integrated street lights is more convenient, just remove the lamp head and send it back to the factory. The maintenance of split solar road lights is much more complicated. When there is damage, the manufacturer needs to send technicians to the local area for maintenance. During maintenance, it is necessary to check the faults one by one from the battery, photovoltaic panels, LED lamp holders, and wires.

In this way, do you think that solar-integrated streetlights are better? In fact, which one is better, integrated solar street lights or split solar lights, depends on the installation occasion. For roads with high demand for lightings, such as large roads and expressways, integrated solar LED lights can be installed. For streets, residential areas, factory areas, rural areas, county streets, village streets, etc., integrated solar street lights are recommended. Of course, which kind of solar lights to install should also take into account the budget.

◆How to choose a satisfactory street lamp?

If you want to choose a suitable solar street light, there are many factors to consider, such as weather, local temperature, where the street light needs to be installed, the height of the light pole, and local policies and economic budgets.

1. The height of the light pole

The height of the light pole is generally selected according to the width of the road. It is best to choose the height of the light pole that is the same as the width of the road or slightly larger than the width of the road.

Generally, single-lane rural roads choose 3-4 meter light poles;

For two-lane rural roads choose 5-7m light poles;

Choose 8-12m light poles for four-lane or main traffic roads;

Courtyard or other scene lighting is selected according to the lighting range.

2. LED lamp head wattage selection:

The wattage of the street light should be determined according to the purpose of the street light, the height of the light pole, and the lumen value of the LED street light (TUWR solar street light uses the industry's top Japanese Nichia [210 lumens/watt] LED patch).

Generally, roads and scenes with less pedestrian traffic can choose LED lamp heads with slightly lower wattage, and roads and scenes with more pedestrian traffic can choose LED lamp heads with slightly higher wattage. According to the actual situation, you can choose a double LED lamp head street lamp.

15-20 watt LED lamp holders are recommended for 3-4 meter light poles;

30-50 watt LED lamp holders are recommended for 5-7m light poles;

50-100 watts LED lamp holders are recommended for 8-12 meter light poles;

3. Installation distance and location of solar street lights:

According to the construction drawings and the geological situation of the survey site, in the place where there is no sunshade on the top of the street lamp, the installation position of the street lamp should be determined based on the distance of 20-50 meters between the street lamps, otherwise, the installation position of the street lamp should be adjusted appropriately.

Generally, the road width is about 3-4 meters, the light pole is 3-4 meters, and the LED lamp head is 15-20 watts. The installation distance should be 20-25 meters;

Generally, the road width is about 5-7 meters, the light pole is 5-7 meters, and the LED lamp head is 30-50 watts. The installation distance should be 30-40 meters;

Generally, the road width is about 8-12 meters, the light pole is 8-12 meters, and the LED lamp head is 50-120 watts. The installation distance should be 30-50 meters.

All in all, both integrated and split solar streetlights have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the most important thing is to choose the one that suits you.
