waterproof ip rating luxman light solar based products

The higher the waterproof rating, the better outdoor solar light is?

/in /by

Waterproof is the basic requirement for Outdoor Solar Lights products.

Outdoor solar lights are commonly used as outdoor applications. Water is inevitable cannot be avoided in outdoor locations. Therefore, a relatively higher level of waterproofing is required in order to achieve better performance in such environmental conditions. Often, we come across the label of IP65, IP66, and even IP67 in product packing. So, is the higher the waterproof level, the better for the product?

(1) Waterproof is Necessary for Solar Outdoor Products

For the above question, first, we need to understand why waterproofing is needed. During the long-term use of outdoor solar lamps, some liquid usually will condense on the solar-powered products due to the influence of day and night temperature changes. As we know that from middle school, when gas or vapor condenses or is condensed, it changes into a liquid.
In addition, the water of rainfall will splash directly onto the solar light product. If typhoons or hurricanes patronize to an area, then strong storms will bring water to try to destroy products exposed in unsheltered place. Therefore, there must be a sufficiently strong level of waterproof for the outdoor lighting system.

(2) Understand Waterproof Standards to Facilitate Product Selection

In this regard, we need to understand what the standard of waterproofing is. What kind of impact can each level of waterproof protect against for outdoor solar lighting?

For example, there is a product with IP65 label. Let’s see the meaning of IP, 6, 5 respectively.

The IP (INGRESS PROTECTION) protection level system was drafted by the IEC (INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION), which classifies electrical appliances according to their dust and moisture resistance characteristics. The IP protection level mark is composed of two numbers.
The first number indicates the level of the appliance to prevent dust and foreign objects from invading. The foreign objects include tools, fingers of human beings, and other small objects. All these objects can not touch any area that contains electricity insider the electrical appliance, outdoor solar LED lights, to avoid electric shock.
The second number indicates the tightness of the appliance against moisture and water. The higher the number, the higher the protection level.

LUXMAN - waterproof ip rating luxman lightAs an example, IP65 Solar LED Street Lights – IP rated as totally dust particulate protected and against water projected from a spray nozzle.

(3) General Advice When Selecting the Product Waterproof Level

High waterproof rating means a high manufacturing cost naturally. In order to deal with extreme weather that may encounter, expensive outdoor solar lights products with high waterproof rating are the utmost choices.
A) If there is not much storm and rain in an area and it is not a place often by typhoons/hurricanes, you can choose a solar outside lights product with a lower waterproof level of course. In desert zone of North Africa and the Middle East, the waterproof rating can be relatively low. All our products can meet the weather conditions in these places. For example, the S2 series can easily handle the conditions.
B) If it is in the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, or the Pacific Islands, then high grade waterproof products need to be considered.

Waterproofing can reduce the risk of corrosion caused by water infiltration. However, according to our industrial experience, corrosion protection is the biggest issue for products used by the sea. After the metal is corroded, the water resistance is deemed to be poor, Waterproof becomes meaningless, regardless of how high the waterproof level has been made previously.

For this reason, it is critical that we shall choose the proper raw materials of the product and control the following manufacturing process. Efforts to this end, we have also particularly strengthened our investment in materials and processes to ensure that the products can meet the different applications of users. For instance, the battery case is water-resistant with an IP68 rating. Other companies will not put so much effort into adopting high standard process in components that cannot be seen by the naked eye of customers. Our S2 and S3 series solar powered led outdoor lights products are equipped with an IP68 waterproof batteries box as standard.

From this point, waterproof rating is a momentous aspect of product selection. But it is not the only criterion for selection. Comprehensive consideration of all aspects of the product is always the safe way. As for how to better choose the suitable solar led lights product, we are happy to provide our expertized solution in this regard.

5 Tips to Make Solar LED Lights Last Longer

/in /by

It is important to properly position and maintain luminaires or lighting fixtures in order to make Solar LED Lights last longer.

By doing this, we let Solar LED Lights absorb as much solar irradiance energy as possible for longer periods of lighting.

1. Regular Cleaning of Solar Panel

Solar LED street lights for outdoor need solar panels to absorb radiant energy. Cleaning helps solar panels to maintain the maximum energy absorption of solar radiation and provide long-term illumination.

During the production in our factory and the following on-site installation of solar light fitting, we have considered optimizing the product to keep it clean enough and avoid attracting too much dust and debris. For example, the installed solar panels usually keep an inclined angle to prevent birds from resting on it. Bird droppings, leaves, and other debris can hinder the solar panel’s ability to collect sunlight.

You also need to pay attention to the degree of cleanliness. If air pollution in some areas are serious, or some cities are near the desert, then the dust is more than other places, you need to wipe the panel surface regularly.

Obviously, stacked snow on Solar lights panel will affect the absorption of the solar irradiation energy. As a result, the lighting system does not have a peak performance if you are in an area that is cover with large amounts of snowfall, be prepared to take them down for the winter.

 

2. Place Lighting Luminaries in an Unobstructed Place

Make sure that they are in a place with the strongest sunlight throughout the day and not blocked by the shadows of plants or buildings. Plants are not possibly blocking the panel all the time, but it reduces the time of direct sun shines on the solar panel. It means that the length of lighting available at night will be reduced. Take necessary measures to adjust the installation distance, or trim the branches to ensure sufficient sunlight.

 

3. Improper On-site Parameters Setting Resulting in Shorter Lighting Time

According to many on-site feedbacks, some construction workers respond that they have not been informed of the specific function and use of the remote control of solar lamp outdoor. They are only responsible for lighting up the lamp and care about nothing else. In such cases, the parameters may be set incorrectly which is causing abnormal lighting, excessive battery consumption, and reducing lighting hours. The remote control of LUXMAN luminaire with a humanized control method design is simple and convenient. You can switch to the best mode that suits your needs. Before installation, confirm with us for selecting the best mode for your location and make sure it is the correct mode during installation.

 

4. Long Time Rainy Days Reduce Hours of Illumination

If the weather forecast says it will rain for a long period of time and exceed the maximum designed lighting time of the product, you can choose to turn off the solar led lights with switch. This method is mainly to avoid inefficient charging on rainy days and extend battery life.

 

5. Malfunctions of Solar LED Street Lights Reduces the Lighting Time

According to the indicators of solar light, our users can identify whether the problem belongs to the solar panel, the LED bulb, or the battery. Check for the possible hidden problems and troubleshoot to ensure that the lighting time can reach the desired length.

Some split solar panels have longer distances between solar panels and lamps，and the long distance has caused unexpected problems. Extending the solar panel connecting wire at will may cause line loss, lower charging efficiency, and affect lighting time. There is also one reason that the user might purchase wire with poor quality.

Another typical problem is the aging problem of the product. With the accumulation of service hour, the battery quality naturally ages, especially the lead-acid battery which is used in earlier products. The number of charge and discharge is relatively small for a lead-acid battery. The battery needs to be replaced when it expires or out of performance. Just change it and restore long hours of lighting.

solar light charge on a cloudy day

Can Solar Lights Charge on a Cloudy Day?

/in /by

Did you ever think that Solar Light could charge on Cloudy Days?

 

A question often mentioned is whether Solar Lights for roads can be charged on cloudy days or without the sun. The answer is yes.

SOLAR CELL CHARGING UNIT IS SENSITIVE TO LIGHT DENSITY

Because the charging components on the solar panel are very sensitive to light density/luminous intensity. As long as the light density is sufficient, the solar panel can collect energy and begin its charging process to the solar lights for outdoor.

solar lights charge on cloudy days

LIGHT DENSITY STILL EXIST IN CLOUDY DAYS

Although the direct sunlight will be blocked on cloudy days, the solar-based lights are still receiving a charge. The clouds are diffusing the strength of the sunlight but solar irradiance is still transmitted from the sun to the earth. So, the solar power system still charges during cloud cover.

Furthermore, when puffy cumulus clouds cover the sun, from time to time the sunlight will penetrate holes in the clouds. Once it happens, the solar panels absorb not only the direct sunlight but also the sunlight reflected by the cloud.
In cloudy conditions, the sunlight or the luminous intensity is sufficient for charging in most cases.

CLOUDY CITIES SOLAR STREET LIGHTS MARKET ARE BOOMING

Cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, and Boston are famous for their cloudy and cool weather and do not have the same sunshine condition as Las Vegas. However, the solar street light markets are booming simply because that the cloudy days can also provide solar street lights with considerable charging.

CHARGING EFFICIENCY DURING CLOUDY DAYS

Although it can be charged on cloudy days, the charging speed will be slower. The irradiance on a cloudy day or in shadow may only get 1/2 or 1/5 than what it is on a sunny day.

The good news is that charging efficiency might be better during cloudy days. When charging, the temperature of the solar panel is high when there is direct sunlight, and the charging efficiency decreases. On the other side, the temperature is much more likely in the interval where the solar panel charging is highly efficient when cloudy.

In summary, the solar-powered lights system can be charged on cloudy days. Even there are continuous cloudy days, most solar-powered lights provide lighting with the stored energy. If you live in a cloudy and cool area, you can still buy solar systems such as solar-powered lights for yard, walkway, garden.

News Reveals that Electricity Insufficiency Areas Need Solar Outdoor Lights

/in /by

Economic Activities Reveal that Electricity Insufficiency Areas Need Solar Outdoor Lights

From recent economic activities news, we learn that there are still electricity insufficiency places like Africa and other tropical areas. For that kind of area, solar outdoor lights are more practical for people living there.

Chinese Companies Partner with Ebonyi Government on Producing Solar Lights

The sun illuminates and heats the earth especially in the tropical zone and Africa. It is regarded as a huge resource for those areas no matter in ancient times or modern times. Nigerian people take great advantage of the resource for the past years. For instance, Ebonyi state attracts Chinese companies to help in construction, manufacturing of sandals and solar lights.

 

According to the news report, some Chinese companies have built up a partnership with technology transfer for sustainable development of the state through investing local market.

 

LED lights are just a good example of the products that are related to technology. Light Emitting Diodes (LED) that are used for street light will be assembled in the state.

 

Groupe Filatex & Canada’s DERA Energy build Solar Power Plant for Madagascar

Madagascar’s largest employer Groupe Filatex employs around 15,000 people. It initiates a solar project with Canada’s Dera Energy. The solar plant will generate 100 megawatts. However, power is still insufficient for local people. Current generation capacity in the country is 500 megawatts which only satisfies 15% of the population. There is still a large amount of population who are in need of electricity.

 

With an average of almost 2,800 hours of sunlight a year, Madagascar deems to have a bright future to enjoy the benefit of solar energy.

 

As solar plant only solves the needs of a small portion of people, other people prefer to buy standalone solar outdoor light fixture.

 

Solar Outdoor Lights are Much More Practical for Electricity Insufficient Area

People in developed countries have a mainstream opinion that coal-fired generation plants cause coal ash, Particulate Matter (PM), Sulfur dioxide (SO2), and NO x pollutions to air during the power generation process. For most of the areas that lack electricity, coal resources are insufficient as well.

 

The oil-fired power plant is a choice for some countries like Nigeria, Angola, Indonesia, and countries with plenty of oil. The problem is that mercury and other toxic air pollution may exist. The alternative energy supply may be hydropower.

 

Hydroelectricity is clean. But the environmental impact is inevitable to happen to nature and people. For example, a small dam that creates a reservoir may obstruct fish migration. A large size dam generates more power, but the earthquake may follow due to its scale. Ecosystem health is becoming complicated after a water power plant is set up for a long period of time.

 

After comparing many types of power generation, the alternative energy of solar energy comes out as a natural choice as a power supply.

 

Solar projects that generate megawatts provide scaled power to the mass in a large area. Solar outdoor street lights that are standalone design can meet the flexible needs of the people in various areas.

For years, the Nigerian market has been providing with our high quality solar outdoor lights which fully utilize local sunlight radiation. We, Shenzhen Luxman Light Co., Ltd., have a deep understanding of the Nigerian market. The truth is that the electricity insufficiency areas need solar outdoor lights which is more practical currently as the investment fee is low for its standalone design.

Sales Revenue Hits a Record High Because of Exclusive distributor

By the end of the year, our customers are celebrating their anniversary party for the coming holiday. Through social media, many of them are delivering messages that 2019 is a successful year. At the same time, we are reviewing this year’s sales revenue internally. So far, we figure out that our agents contribute an indispensable part of our business.

 

As you can imagine, most Chinese firms do not rely on agents or distributors to represent their business in international markets. We are just one of them who do not expect too much from agents or distributors at the beginning. Is there any miracle?

 

How Does Mr. Santos Become a Distributor?

There is a saying, that “nothing is consistent but change.” In the year 2017, we came across a person who is called Mr. Santos from South America. During the conversations, the guy was showing more and more interest in becoming our sole agent in his region.

 

We are inspired by the enthusiastic action of Mr. Santos, though we believe that we have sufficient resources and value-added service to support Mr. Santos to scale up the business and reassure him with solid quality of solar LED street light.

 

In fact, Mr. Santos has his own personal experience and local knowledge regarding solar street light. At the city he is living in, he saw some solar street light had encountered rust problem. It was merely a quality issue as some nearby products did not get rusted. The malfunctioned indicator is just another kind of quality issue that he had met. He decided to try our product when we show our professionalism and expertise regarding product and troubleshooting.

 

Mr. Santos placed a small quantity trial order in the year 2018 to get to know more about our product. As per Mr. Santos, our hardware is solid and software is easy to use. The experience has been proven pleasant. Mr. Santos has a wide connection locally which enables him to catch opportunities and get favorable orders.

 

As part of the tender process and order fulfillment, we went through with Mr. Santos by supporting documentation, certificates, and sampling. Actually, we have been fighting together to secure an order. Consequently, we will be reaching a record high sales revenue this year.

 

Sole Agent & Exclusive Distributor of Solar Lights

For years, we have built the brand Luxman in the field of solar lighting. The reputation is gained through continuous efforts of service and solid performance of the product. It is the power of a brand that makes Luxman go as far as we can imagine.

Solar Powered Security Light Reduces Crime Rate in Johor Bahru in Malaysia

Solar Powered Security Light Reduces Crime Rate in Johor Bahru in Malaysia

/in /by

Malaysia is a hot choice to travelers for a long time, do you have any idea about the coverage of solar-powered security light over there?

Bahru Needs Solar Powered Security Light to Attract Investment

 

Bahru of Johor is famous for a Forest City project in Chinese thanks to a real estate development project by Mr. Yang GuoQiang, a Chinese tycoon who runs a company named Country Garden. Seldom Chinese know about the city until the promotion of the project is introduced to the public in the past years. Not to mention the crime status of Bahru over there. Although it is a kind of small probability event to thousands of travelers, it is a total disaster for one who encounters a crime. Because most of the people visit the city by the advisement that Bahru is a city nearby prosperous Singapore, just like Shenzhen is nearby to Hong Kong, the people simply cannot accept the fact that a city nearby Singapore may have such kind of unpleasant thing happened. Both residents and travelers need solar security lights over there.

 

Solar Powered Security Light Reduces Crime Rate in Johor Bahru in Malaysia

Measures to Fight Crimes

 

It is a great challenge that 35 police officers have to take care of the safety of 100,000 people in residential communities every day. Daily patrol seems a mission impossible to accomplish. In order to combat crime, city councilors have promoted the installation of solar-powered security light schemes in-home and alleys. At the same time, civilians are encouraged to use the mobile phone APP of Volunteer Smartphone Patrol (VSP) to prevent crimes.

 

Residential areas have their congenital advantages which are the people living there. Residents are all neighbors in the same community who can get easier communication and strengthening cohesion. Hence, people are likely to cooperate and monitor the community together to prevent crimes from occurring in residential areas.

 

Apart from the VSP app, people also set up the WHATSAPP group in the same community for prompt action against suspicious activities, Obviously, nearby neighbors can proceed with an on-site checking faster than police miles away.

 

In this way, people in Bahru do not need to pay a high price for hiring more police officers for community safety to get a good public order.

 

Solar based Security Lamp Can Do More

 

With the help of a solar security lamp, public order and peace are resumed.

 

There are old houses in cities around the world. Most of them are fenceless with multiple entrances and exits. These kinds of unfenced communities need solar powered security lights very badly. Installation of security light with camera in the rear lane can illuminate the place at night. It is a good way to deter crimes or keep a criminal record if happened. In addition to this, police mobile phone application, civilian patrol, mobile phone group alert and other necessary methods have made communities even stronger!

 

Shenzhen Luxman Light CO., LTD. is proud to be in the line of solar security light products and is supplying customers with solar lights for years with solid performance.

solar outdoor light helps to rural renewal in china

Solar Outdoor Light Makes its Unique Contribution to Rural Renewal in China

/in /by

Solar outdoor light drives away the darkness in the rural area which allows people to expand their activity footprint.

 

Solar Outdoor Light enriches people’s lives in rural areas!

 

  • Rural Renewal in China

In recent years, China has been making huge progress in economic development. The remote area and countryside are still less developed, although rural areas are catching up. Unlike other countries that are focusing on urban renewal, China’s renewal plan focuses on the rural area as the urban area has built up many modern architectures thanks to the great development of the real estate.

 

Dazhu county is a western county in Sichuan province. The county is taking rural revitalization as a starting point to improve the environment. The breakthrough has happened on the railway, highway, and rural roads which are easier to be checked with the eyesight of visitors. The rubbish is collected by garbage room with garbage sorting box, and guidelines of sorting and disposing of garbage have been kept spreading by various means like traditional media, social media, and the like. These methods reduce the rubbish and improve the environment along the roads.

 

At the same time, decentralized sewage treatment facilities have been greatly promoted. Non-hazardous sanitary toilets are supported to be built inside the private house. These methods help to reduce the domestic sewage discharge from the source and realize recycling use.

 

On the other hand, lighting-up people’s life shall be fulfilled by bright things. As part of the program, restoration of the old houses, installation of the solar street lamp, hardened pavement, and green recreation space have been built. All these efforts have contributed to the quality of life of people.

  • Changes Happened After Renewal

It works. The people find that the village is getting more and more beautiful. Rubbish is getting less and less. Ruins of the wall, broken latrines, and broken houses are disappearing. Roads, highway, and railway are becoming clean and pleasant landscapes.

 

According to some villagers, they have no place to play but gathers together and play poker or mahjong in the spare time off work before rural renewal. Now, with sufficient lighting, friends and relatives can go to the green recreation space for dancing, take a walk along the riverfront corridor, and see the changes of riverside banks. They all admit that the new installation of facilities truly helps a lot. Their lives have been changed both physically and mentally.

 

  • Important Role of Solar Outdoor Lamp in Rural Renewal

From the above example, the new facility helps change people’s daily life. If there are no solar lights outside, people may gather for gambling inside the house instead of taking a walk in the evening time. With open green space, more options of activity become possible. Let’s say, solar street light is improving the quality of life in China and it can also improve in your country.

Use Smart Solar Security Light with Camera. Be Prepared to Theft at Construction Sites’ Dormitory!

/in /by

Why we shall use smart solar security light with camera? When the new year is coming to us, the theft is also coming out at construction sites. At this point, we need it.

 

Smart Solar Security Light with Camera Helps!

 

(1) Be Alert to Theft

At present, construction sites are blooming in almost every city in the world due to the development of real estate, urban renewal, and decoration projects. A hidden danger is that public security is underway as the construction site is not being guarded carefully.

 

A number of stolen cases of workers in construction site dormitories have occurred unexpectedly. A victim lost money stored in the dorm after suspect theft broke the glass of the window and enter into the room in the daytime. A victim’s bag with case and ID card inside were stolen early in the morning.

 

(2) Reasons Why Stealing Happened

  1.  People are not alert to stealing and is not aware of prevention which leads case and valuables is hidden under the bed sheets or pillows in the dormitory. No one is left in the dorm area during the day time. In addition, the door is unlocked or worker forgets to close the window that will seduce theft to come.
  2.  The security guard is missing for the dorm area. The dorm is usually built beside a construction site which means it is a little bit far away from eyesight and there is a lack of people guarding. Furthermore, workers may change if a construction project lasts for a period of time. It increases the difficulty of personnel management and self-monitoring internally.
  3.  Technical surveillance is missing. Some project investors want to save costs and do not carry enough measures to protect workers’ property. The surveillance facility and responsible person seems to be a burden under this situation.

 

(3) Prevention of Theft

outdoor light with camera

  1. To educate people is a kind of management work. It belongs to the superior people of those projects. At least, prevention knowledge shall be publicized. The responsible person shall pay enough attention to this issue. Cash and valuables shall be stored properly. The door and window shall be closed once leaving the dorm. Doors and windows shall be closed at night especially those alongside the corridor.
  2. Security methods can be various. The security guard may be arranged. An identification check for incoming and outgoing personnel is recommended. Crossing patrol helps to reduce the chance of criminal cases.
  3. All the above measures require extra manpower and cost. There is a low-cost way to deal with the situation. We suggest that a smart solar security light with camera can be put into use. In addition to the basic lighting function that meets construction sites’ need, it also provides surveillance function.

User can get alarmed if motion is activated and detected. The smart surveillance camera sends an alert to your smartphone and records a short video clip into the memory card. This is a low-cost measure to prevent theft from entering into the construction site dorm. And, it is also a good way to trace theft if anything happens as a video can provide many pieces of evidence.

Top 3 factors to choose outdoor solar lights properly

/in /by

Users or consumers often find there are lots of key factors in selecting outdoor solar lights，hence, we figure out top 3 factors here.

Top 3 Factors to Choose Outdoor Solar Lights

We all understand that we shall make a good quality product for our users across the world. No matter they are coming from Malaysia, Saudi, UAE, Sweden, Brazil, Australia, South Africa, Namibia, Uganda, or elsewhere, they will all be treated with a high standard quality product. Mostly, the solar-powered street lights are all in one type in the market. All in one is actually three in one type. Three means three major parts for solar street lights, i.e.  solar panel, LED light, and battery. Therefore, I am recommending use to take a look at these top 3 factors before buying solar-powered street lights. Let’s begin.

 

1 – EFFICIENT SOLAR PANEL FOR OUTDOOR SOLAR LIGHTS

copper-mountain-Nevada-Solar_PANEL-field-largest-photovoltaic-plant-top-3-factors-outdoor-solar-lights

Barack Obama in the largest photovoltaic plant in Nevada

 

It took around two decades for photovoltaics (PV) or solar PV to become a mainstream electricity source from small scale applications. Price in the past could only be accepted by users like military and aerospace who don’t really care about the cost too much. Now, the price has dropped to a level that is affordable to civil users.

Solar panel energy has been developed for many years. Technically speaking, the product is mature enough. Usually, the high-efficiency solar cell will come with an MPPT controller for stable performance. The controller also takes care of light absorption in summer and winter.

As regards to the efficiency, monocrystalline solar panels are higher efficiencies and sleeker aesthetics than polycrystalline solar panels. Doubtlessly, polycrystalline panels are sold at a lower price.

Both monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels serve the same function in the solar PV system: they capture energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. The technology is so powerful that it can even work and provide lighting under weak light conditions. This is especially helpful in wintertime for high latitude areas like Sweden and Canada. Our customer in Sweden is continuously buying solar-powered street lights from us which is a great honor to us. It is sure that we have installed a special component unit for Sweden market which need complementary power in winter.

As mentioned, the solar panel industry has been developed for so many years. The solar panel itself is guaranteed with at least 20 years lifespan in most cases.

 

2 – OPTIMIZED LED LIGHTING SYSTEM

LED-bulb-colorful-diode-light-technology-electricity
The top 3 factors for outdoor solar lights go number 2. LED chips are various and different chip vendors provide respective lighting solutions. Bridgelux, Cree, Lumileds, Nichia, OSRAM and Philips are common choices of solar lights factories who cherish their product quality and reputation.

For example, when we choose Bridgelux, we will take into consideration of LED power and lumen efficacy into consideration after comparison between brand and brand. Bridgelux has great performance regarding ESD protection. ESD protection devices (anti-static components) protect a circuit from Electrostatic discharge (ESD). The value of ESD for Bridgelux can be as high as 3000V. The product of the brand has high stability because it has a double electric shock structure and has 6 protective films on the surface. The factory is easier to operate in the downstream production process while the product yield is better controlled. At the same time, the light decay is less.

As a whole, other brands are also being picked for use when we produce a specific item since we need to consider the system output performance.

 

3 ENHANCED BATTERY UNIT EMPOWERS SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

Lithium-ion-Battery
The battery unit is outsourced from battery vendor. If an outdoor solar light manufacturer wants to use a low-cost component, then a lead-acid battery is possibly being used. The lead-acid battery has one of the lowest power-to-weight & power-to-volume battery designs in existence, making it big and heavy for the total amount of power it can put out.

In past years, quite many off-grid energy systems are equipped with lead-acid batteries. Now, most of them are defunct or replaced. People are turning to the solution of LiFePO4 lithium-ion battery.

LiFePo4 battery pack with 2000 times long life circles which is 3 times longer than Lead-Acid battery. When you browsing on the internet shopping site for outdoor solar lights, some vendors will indicate the warranty time of the product. Some warranties are so short that you will question yourself for what circumstance a customer will buy and question sellers for what kind of product they are selling at such a low price.

Moreover, please be aware of some suppliers who are using second-hand batteries taking down from electric vehicles.

Above the top 3 key factors are of fundamental importance as they are the main parts of outdoor solar lights.

We are carefully selecting our battery vendor and use the lithium battery product that can support a longer lifespan which is beneficial to both customers and us.

For more details, please check our web site or just send a query to us for a prompt and professional response.
