Solar Lights

What is Solar Light?

Solar lights are an innovative product that integrates all solar components into just one solution. There is a highly efficient solar panel, several LED bulbs, a rechargeable solar battery (lithium-ion), a mounting structure, and other small solar accessories. These lights are significantly more efficient and reliable in operation as a family of next-generation solar luminaires that work on the photovoltaic effect. Solar lights work independently without a grid and don’t require heavy wirings, making them extremely safe and convenient

The solar light has a compact design to let you handle it most efficiently. There are many advancements in solar light technology in the last few years. Every technological breakthrough has improved the efficiency and reliability of these lighting. The popularity of these lights is getting increase day by day because of their wide applications and huge benefits. Solar lights can be used at any place whether as an interior or as an exterior.

How does solar light works?

As the name suggests, solar lights run on solar energy. To generate this solar power, a solar panel is connected to the solar light. The panel absorbs the sunlight during the daytime and convert that sunlight into electrical energy which is stored in a solar battery. At night time the solar light starts automatically and consumes the electricity already stored in the solar battery. In the daytime, the light turns off and starts again battery charging. The system continues its same cycle on daily basis for years and years throughout its lifetime.

Solar light additional feature

Let’s understand it technically. When the sun goes down, the solar panel will no longer generate electricity and so the battery will stop charging. There is an inbuilt charge controller which detects this moment and gives the signal to the light to switch it on. Firstly, the light starts at 30% of power in eco mode. When the Dusk-to-Down/PIR sensor detects a movement, it activates the light to full power at 100%. After any movement is not detected for at least 20 seconds the light power will reset to 30% brightness. The next day when the sun starts to shine, the solar panel starts to give a signal to the controller and the light will be switched off automatically.

Types of Solar Light

Solar lights are no longer limited to the sides of the roads, thanks to advancements in solar technologies. Now you will get to see many types of solar lights. Whether it is your home, any institute, bus stand, or airport, you will find solar lights installed everywhere. After all, how many types of solar lights are there, which are being used everywhere.
