LED Street Light
A solar street light is a raised light source that uses solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity to power LED or fluorescent lamps. Solar street lights are commonly used in public areas like parks, parking lots, and pathways where traditional grid-powered lighting may not be available or cost-effective.
Here are some features of solar street lights:
Solar panels
These panels are mounted on the lighting structure or pole and convert sunlight into electricity.
Rechargeable battery
The electricity generated by the solar panels is stored in a rechargeable battery.
LED or fluorescent lamp
The battery powers an LED or fluorescent lamp during the night.
Charge controller
This manages the flow of electricity between the solar panel, battery, and LED light.
Time control
The controller can dim or brighten the light at different times of the day.
Solar street lights have several benefits, including:
Low maintenance:
They require less maintenance than conventional street lights.
Cost-effective:
They minimize operation costs because they are independent of the utility grid.
Environmentally friendly:
They produce zero greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to reducing carbon footprints.
Long lifespan:
They typically have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years.
