How to choose LED street lights reasonably

The choice of LED street light fixtures mainly considers reflectivity, illuminance,
and maintenance coefficient. The quality of road lighting can generally be measured
by three indicators of road surface brightness, uniformity, and glare. The quality
of road lighting is expressed in:

1. Brightness level

The average brightness of the road has different brightness requirements according
to the road grade. Generally, express roads and main roads need brightness
requirements above 2cd/m2, while secondary roads and auxiliary roads or residential
roads are relatively low. If the power used by the LED street lamp head is too
large, then the battery may be aging early due to over-discharge. If the power is
too small, the LED street lamp head will not have enough brightness and cause
unnecessary cost waste, so we are choosing LED street lamp heads should also be
carefully selected for their power.

2. Calculation of battery capacity:

When the LED solar street light is designed and configured, if the battery capacity
is too small, problems are more likely to occur during the period of continuous
rainy days, which will bring a huge burden to the battery.

According to the local cloudy and rainy weather conditions, determine the battery
type and the number of storage days for the battery. There are more cloudy and
rainy days in the south, and the storage weather is generally 5-7 cloudy and rainy
days.

3. Calculation of the capacity of solar panels:

When the LED solar street light is designed and configured, the power of the
battery panel is small, which may cause the battery to be unsatisfactory. The
performance is normal at the beginning of use, but after a few rainy days, the
light begins to dim, and it becomes all in less than a year. It's pitch black, this
kind of situation is more common. When we configure the battery panel, the selected
power must be appropriate.
4. The choice of controller:

The controller is generally made of stainless steel, which is beautiful and

durable. The design of the charge and discharge controller takes into account light
control, time control, overcharge, and overdischarge protection, and can realize
secondary energy-saving control, and half-power lighting during the specified
period of time . The battery can choose "maintenance-free lead-acid battery", most
of which are built in the control box with the charge and discharge controller.

5. Average illuminance

The average illuminance refers to the average value of all illuminances on the road
surface. It is the unit of illuminating intensity and is generally represented by
LM.

6. Glare

LED road lighting should strive to limit the glare within a certain range,
generally expressed by G value, under normal circumstances, G=7 4. System 4.
Configuration calculation:

The formula for calculating peak sunshine hours is: Peak sunshine hours=A/(3.6X365)

7. Determination of series voltage:

The DC input voltage of the solar street light source is used as the system
voltage, generally 12V or 24V. When the solar module voltage is 36V, the battery
voltage is required to be no less than 2/3 of the module voltage, so the battery,
controller and light source voltage must be selected 24V.

8. The choice of controller:

The controller is generally made of stainless steel, which is beautiful and

durable. The design of the charge and discharge controller takes into account light
control, time control, overcharge, and overdischarge protection, and can realize
secondary energy-saving control, and half-power lighting during the specified
period of time . The battery can choose "maintenance-free lead-acid battery", most
of which are built in the control box with the charge and discharge controller.
