100-300W Aluminum Alloy Solar Street Light Scenarios

In the popularity of green lighting, aluminum alloy solar street light has become a popular choice for outdoor lighting due to its corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and long-life advantages. However, the adaptable scenes of different power street lights vary greatly, especially the three mainstream power bands of 100W, 200W and 300W. If you choose the right one to accurately meet the lighting demand and control the cost, and if you choose the wrong one, it may lead to the lack of brightness or waste of resources. In this article, we will analyze the dimensions of the power characteristics, adaptable scenes and actual cases, and help you find the one that matches your project the most.

100W Aluminum Alloy Solar Street Light

100W Aluminum Alloy Solar Street Light belongs to the category of low-power, the core advantage of low energy consumption, stable range, without the need for large photovoltaic panels and battery packs, flexible installation and cost-controllable, very suitable for the brightness requirements are not high, the range of illumination of the smaller “light lighting” scenes.

Core Lighting Parameters of 100W Street Lights

The light intensity of 100W street lights is usually between 1500-2500lux, with an effective lighting radius of about 8-12 meters, which, together with a pole height of 6-8 meters, is just enough to satisfy the basic lighting needs without excess brightness or insufficient coverage. This parameter configuration makes it possible to guarantee basic safety and avoid energy waste in low-intensity lighting scenarios. This parameter configuration enables it to ensure basic safety and avoid energy waste in low-intensity lighting scenarios.

Typical Scenarios for 100W Street Lights

100W street lights are suitable for scenarios that focus on areas with low traffic flow and low lighting demand, such as countryside paths, which are mostly 3-5 meters wide, with very little traffic flow and traffic. The soft light of the 100W street light allows villagers to see the road surface without affecting the rest of the surrounding farmers. Courtyard garden needs to take into account the lighting and atmosphere, 100W street light can illuminate the trail and landscape nodes, to avoid destroying the sense of quiet at night; In addition, community recreational trails, factory auxiliary channel and other areas, mainly for pedestrians to pass, 100W street light can fully meet the core needs of the "see the path.

Practical Application of 100W Street Light 

Rural Reconstruction Project purchased 100W aluminum alloy solar street lights in bulk, with 7m high poles and 20m spacing, and set up the mode of “lighting up in the dark and lowering the power after 2:00 a.m.”. In actual operation, the street lights are stably illuminated for more than 10 hours a day, and the lamps are still normally illuminated for 3-4 consecutive cloudy and rainy days, which makes it more convenient for the villagers to travel at night, and compared with the traditional utility street lights, it saves a large amount of electricity and maintenance costs every year, and the investment costs can be recovered in a short period of time.

200W Aluminum Alloy Solar Street Light

200W aluminum alloy solar street light is a middle choice between “brightness” and ‘cost’, the power is double than 100W, the lighting coverage and intensity is also improved accordingly, which is suitable for the brightness of a certain requirement, the coverage of a wider area “medium scale” and “medium scale”. It is suitable for “medium scale” scenes with certain requirements on brightness and wide coverage area, which can avoid the lack of brightness of 100W street light and save initial investment and late energy consumption compared with 300W street light.

The Core Lighting Parameters of 200W Street Light

200W street light can reach 3000-4500lux of light intensity, the effective radius of illumination is extended to 12-15 meters, with the height of the pole of 8-10 meters, the effective coverage area of a single lamp reaches 200-300 square meters, which is about 50% higher than that of 100W, and the light uniformity is higher, and it can reduce the “spot” or “shadow area”. Higher uniformity of illumination reduces “light spots” or “shadow areas”, and uniform illumination can be achieved without dense installation.

Typical Scenarios for 200W Street Lights 

200W street lights are suitable for “medium traffic, medium width” scenarios, such as the main road of a small community (width 6-8 meters), with pedestrians and vehicles on a daily basis, and their light intensity can clearly illuminate the road markings and reduce the risk of collision. Small plaza (area of 500-1000 square meters) for the residents to relax, 200W street lamp with 10-meter pole, 3-4 lamps can cover the whole field.

In addition, the main corridor of the township market, small and medium-sized parks and other areas, due to the moderate flow of people, 200W street lights can take into account the clarity of lighting and cost control.

Practical Application of 200W Street Light

A new community adopts 200W aluminum alloy solar street light for 4 main roads and 2 central squares, the main road poles are 9 meters high with 25 meters spacing, and the square poles are 10 meters high and distributed all around. After the delivery of the project, the monitoring of the main road at night can clearly capture the pedestrians and license plates, and there is no lighting dead corner in the plazas, and the owner's favorable rate of “night lighting” is over 95%. The average daily power generation of the solar energy system covers the energy consumption, and the solar energy system can be continued for up to 5 days in cloudy and rainy days, and there is no need to rely on the utility power, and there is almost no expenditure on electricity in the later stage.

300W Aluminum Alloy Solar Street Light

300W aluminum alloy solar street light belongs to the high power model, the core advantage is high lighting intensity, wide coverage, can meet the high flow, wide area lighting needs, mainly suitable for the “large-scale” scenes with strict brightness requirements and high security needs, is the core choice for the scenes of the city's peripheral roads, large-scale industrial areas and so on. It is the core choice for urban peripheral roads, large industrial areas, etc.

Core Lighting Parameters of 300W Street Light

The light intensity of 300W street light can reach 5000-7000lux, which is close to the standard of urban main road, with an effective lighting radius of 15-20 meters, matching with 10-12 meters light pole, a single cover of 500-600 square meters, and a strong penetration force in rainy and foggy days. However, high power needs to be matched with larger PV panels (above 300W) and energy storage batteries (above 100Ah) in order to ensure stable endurance.

Typical Scenarios for 300W Street Lights

300W street lights are suitable for “high traffic, wide area, high safety demand” scenarios, such as urban secondary roads (width 10-12 meters), pedestrian-vehicle mixing and bus traffic, its brightness can shorten the driver's reaction time and reduce the accident rate. Large parking lot parking space is dense, 300W street light with 12 meters pole, can illuminate the parking space and channel, to meet the monitoring imaging; In addition, industrial parks, main roads, logistics and freight channel due to the passage of trucks, 300W street light can protect the driving and operational safety.

Practical Application of 300W Street Lights 

After the expansion of a northern industrial park, 300W aluminum alloy solar street lights are selected for three 12-meter wide main roads, with 12-meter high poles, 30-meter spacing, 350W photovoltaic panels and 150Ah batteries to cope with the cloudy and snowy winter. In actual operation, the brightness of the street light reaches the standard of “secondary road”, the feedback from truck drivers is clear, and the light is still on for 5-6 consecutive cloudy and snowy days. Though the initial investment is slightly higher, there is zero electricity expenditure in the later period, so the long-term cost advantage is remarkable, and the workload of maintenance personnel is reduced significantly.

100-300W Aluminum Alloy Solar Street Light Selection Guide

Selecting the power of aluminum alloy solar street light, need to be combined with the scene demand, parameter matching, cost budget and environmental conditions to make a comprehensive judgment, blindly choose high power or low power will affect the use of the effect of the following four steps to help you accurately lock the appropriate power.

Clarify the Core Needs of the Scene

First determine the type of scene (pedestrian-only / pedestrian-vehicle mixing, a small range of leisure / large-scale operations), and then analyze the key indicators: high traffic volume, high traffic volume scenes (urban secondary roads, large parking lots) suitable for 200-300W. Low traffic volume scenes (countryside paths, courtyards) to choose 100W. Involved in nighttime operations or trucks pass through the area, you must choose 300W to ensure the safety. Safety.

Check the Lighting Parameters and Scene Matching

Determine the height of the pole according to the scene width (the height of the pole is about 1.2-1.5 times the width of the scene), and then match the power. 100W is suitable for poles less than 8 meters, 200W is suitable for poles 8-10 meters, and 300W is suitable for poles more than 10 meters, meanwhile, pay attention to the intensity of the light, which is ≥ 5000lux for the main road, 3000-4500lux for the community road, and 1500-2500lux for the courtyard. The light intensity should be ≥5000lux for main roads, 3000-4500lux for community roads and 1500-2500lux for courtyards.

Balance the Cost Budget with the Long Term Benefit

The higher the power, the higher the initial investment, the lower the cost of 100W for scenes with low luminance requirement. Must be high brightness scenes (city secondary roads) even if the initial expensive to choose 200-300W, to avoid rework. At the same time, calculate the long-term benefits, solar street lights zero electricity costs, high power, although initially expensive, but more long-term savings, more cost-effective.

Confirm the Suitability of the Installation Environment and Equipment

The average daily sunshine at the installation point should be ≥4 hours, and the area with insufficient sunshine needs to be equipped with larger photovoltaic panels and batteries when choosing high power. 300W street light is heavier (50-60kg), so you need to check the load bearing of the foundation. Choose low temperature resistant batteries for cold areas and high waterproof grade street lights for hot and humid areas to ensure that the equipment adapts to the environment.

100W, 200W, 300W aluminum alloy solar street light is not the higher power the better, but the more adaptable the more practical. 100W is suitable for light lighting scenarios, 200W balances the brightness and cost, and 300W meets the demand for high intensity. When selecting the model around the scene demand core, combined with parameters, cost, environmental judgment, you can let the street light to play green energy saving advantages, accurately match the project needs.
