With the depletion of fossil fuels and the increase in energy bills, LED solar lights are becoming more and more popular. The high energy efficiency of LED lights is well-established. LED lights can save up to 80% more energy consumption than traditional light sources. The long lifespan and low maintenance make LED lights cost-effective. Solar energy is renewable and safe. It not only shrinks the carbon footprint but also reduces the strain on water resources. The combination of LED technology and solar power help property owners cut down on electricity bills effectively. Therefore, LED solar lights are great alternatives for illuminating streets, gardens, parks, pathways, parking lots, etc.

ASIMO lighting provides the best LED solar lighting solutions. Batteries are the key factors that affect the lasting time of LED solar lights. With large capacity batteries, our LED solar lights can support long lasting times. Fitted with a durable and resistant structure, our luminaires can handle harsh outdoor environments. Our products also feature high efficacy, offering high lumen output while using less energy. Optional sensors and smart controls allow you to save energy cost significantly as well as achieve flexible control.

What are benefits of LED solar lights 

LED solar lights are advantageous for both the environment and property operators. Compared to standard LED lights, there are three main benefits of LED solar lights: eco-friendly, cost-effective, and easy to install.

Eco-friendly

LED solar lights are powered by solar energy, which means they do not consume fossil fuels or other energy sources in short supply. Solar energy is renewable. So using solar energy will not aggravate the resource shortage. It is clean and safe as well. Using LED solar lights can reduce carbon footprints. Therefore, LED solar lights eco-friendly.

Cost-effective

Solar energy is free. LED solar lights convert sunlight into electricity, and provide illumination. Thus, property owners can save energy cost effectively. Except for the lower energy cost, LED solar lights also feature virtually zero maintenance. Electrical grill or cables is needless for LED solar lights, saving the labors and installation cost.

Easy to install

LED solar lights are easy to install. There is no need for electrical grills or power sources, making the installation easier. Moreover, LED solar lights eliminate the process of wiring and trenching. You can set your LED solar lights anywhere there is sufficient sunlight without worrying the light source or wiring.

What are the different types of LED solar lights?

According to applications, there are solar street lights, solar urban lights, solar bollard lights, etc. The most common types of LED solar lights are LED solar street lights. They are divided into vertical solar PV type streetlight and flat type solar streetlight. Vertical solar PV modules solar streetlight is a new type of solar streetlight which integrates solar photovoltaic technology onto a column lighting system. It is so called vertical solar PV poles streetlights. Flat type solar street lights are of all-in-one design with integrated flat solar panels and batteries. These two types of LED solar lights have their own disadvantages and advantages. Contact us and discover more.

Do LED solar lights charge on cloudy days

Yes, LED solar lights continue to charge even on cloudy days. All LED solar lights are constructed with solar panels. Solar cells on solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. Direct sunlight will be blocked and diffused in cloudy days. However, daylight is still transmitted through solar irradiance. Solar panels can convert the solar irradiance to electricity. Although clouds diffuse strength the sunlight, solar panels can still charge by converting the solar irradiance to electricity. Therefore, LED solar can charge on cloudy days. But it takes longer for LED solar lights to achieve fully charged on cloudy days.

How long do LED solar lights last 

So many factors will affect the lifespan and run time of LED solar lights. Location, battery, and cleanliness are three key factors related to the lifespan and run time of LED solar lights.

Location

The more direct sunlight LED solar lights receive during the day, the longer nightly run time. If LED solar lights are located in places without sufficient sunlight, LED solar lights may not stay on as long.

Battery

Quality and capacity of the battery of LED solar light also affect the lifespan and operating time. Large capacity batteries are able to store more electricity and support the lighting fixtures for a longer time. Take our LED solar lights as an example. Our LED solar lights use reliable a LiFePO4 battery. It can last up to 7 rainy days.

Cleanliness

Cleanliness is also important for the lifespan and run time of LED grow lights. Accumulated dust on the solar panels will not only affect the conversion from solar energy to electricity, but also affect heat dissipation. Over-heat can shorten the lifespan of LED solar lights.

How long do LED solar lights need to charge

LED solar lights convert solar energy into electricity during the day, and then release the electricity stored in battery to power fixtures at night. Therefore, LED solar lights require rechargeable batteries. But the time for fully changed depends on various factors, including the amount of solar energy LED solar lights receive, the battery capacity, the type of LED solar lights, etc. In general, it takes about 6 to 8 hours to be fully charged.
