Solar Street lights

The installation should be done in a location with sufficient sunlight and no shielding (such as walls, ground or poles) to ensure that the solar panels can fully receive light. During installation, fix them with screws or brackets according to the model to ensure stability without shaking. At the same time, attention should be paid to the orientation and angle of the solar panel. It is usually recommended that the installation angle be close to the local latitude. For example, in areas with a latitude of 30°-40°, the angle can be set at about 35°-45°, which allows the solar panel to receive as much sunlight as possible in different seasons throughout the year. Specific adjustments can be made according to the local latitude; the higher the latitude, the larger the angle can be appropriately.

Clean the solar panels regularly to keep their surfaces clean, so as to improve charging efficiency; check the battery status regularly to ensure that the battery is fully charged, and replace the battery in time if it is aging or damaged; at the same time, check all parts of the lamp regularly, and repair or replace them in time if internal faults are found.

Solar lights use solar energy to generate electricity, so they do not need to be connected to the power grid, which can save electricity bills. They are flexible to install and not restricted by the layout of wires, making them especially suitable for remote outdoor areas. They do not produce carbon emissions during use, so they are more environmentally friendly. In addition, their maintenance costs are relatively low and they have a longer service life.

 It may be that the battery is dead (e.g., due to long-term rainy weather or the solar panel being blocked). You can place it in direct sunlight to fully charge it and then try again. It could also be caused by a damaged LED bulb, poor wire connections, or a faulty controller. You can first check if the wire connections are secure. If there's no issue with the connections, contact a professional to inspect the bulb and controller.

The waterproof rating is usually indicated by an IP code, such as IP65, IP66, etc. The first digit after IP represents the dustproof rating, and the second digit represents the waterproof rating. For solar lights used outdoors, it is recommended that the waterproof rating be no less than IP65. Such lights can effectively resist rain washing and spraying, and are safe for normal outdoor use, but they should be avoided from being soaked in water for a long time.

It is generally not recommended. Because the intensity and duration of indoor light are usually insufficient, it will lead to insufficient charging of the solar panel, affecting the lighting effect of the lamp and the service life of the battery. If it is really necessary to use it indoors, it is necessary to ensure that the solar panel can receive sufficient natural light or strong light irradiation.

Not necessarily. It may be that the light control sensor is blocked (such as by leaves, dust, etc.), causing the sensor to mistakenly judge it as night; it could also be that the light control sensitivity is set improperly or the sensor is faulty. You can first clean the debris on the surface of the sensor. If the problem still cannot be solved, it is recommended to contact after-sales service for inspection.

Regularly (it is recommended to do it 1-2 times a month), wipe the surface of the solar panels with a soft cloth or sponge dipped in clean water to remove dust, leaves, bird droppings and other debris. If there are stubborn stains that are difficult to clean on the surface, you can use a small amount of neutral detergent to wipe, then rinse with clean water. Avoid using hard objects to scrape, so as not to damage the panels.

Yes, it needs to be replaced. The service life of lithium batteries commonly used in solar lights is generally 3-5 years, and that of lead-acid batteries is 2-3 years. When it is found that the lighting time of the lamp is significantly shortened (for example, from the original 8 hours to less than 3 hours), and other faults are ruled out after inspection, it may be that the battery is aging, and it is necessary to replace it with a battery of the same model and parameters in time.
