An LED solar light is an outdoor lighting system that uses a solar panel to convert sunlight into electricity, which then charges a battery to power LED lights at night.
Specifications
- Power Output: Varies by model, from around 40W for smaller lights to 800W or more for larger streetlights.
- Lumens: A measure of brightness. Can range from 1,500-3,000 lumens for smaller units up to 12,800 lumens or higher for high-power models.
- Solar Panel: Typically made of high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon. Specifications include wattage and physical dimensions.
- Capacity: Measured in mAh (milliampere-hours or WH (Watt-hours).
- Charging Time: The time it takes to fully charge the battery, often requiring strong sunlight. This can be anywhere from 6 hours upwards.
- Lighting Time: The number of hours the light can stay on after a full charge. This can range from 4-10 hours to 15+ hours, sometimes with support for multiple rainy days.
- Color Temperature: Measured in Kelvin (K). Common options are cool white (6000K-6500K) or warm white (3000K).
- Waterproof Rating: A standard like IP65 indicates resistance to dust and water spray, making it suitable for outdoor use.
- Control: Features can include light control, motion sensors, and remote controls.
Other specifications
- Lifespan: The expected lifespan of the LEDs and other components, with some solar panels designed for 20-25 years.
- Installation: Can be mounted on a pole or wall. The diameter of the light pole is a common consideration, with a range of 50mm to 114mm being typical for many streetlights.
- Operating Temperature: The range of temperatures in which the light will function correctly.
