About solar garden lights, it has:
Solar panels: mostly made of monocrystalline silicon/polycrystalline silicon materials, responsible for photoelectric conversion, with a conversion efficiency of 15-22%.
Batteries: common lithium batteries or gel batteries, the capacity determines the battery life (generally 3-5 days of lighting can be maintained on rainy days).
Controller: intelligently regulates charging and discharging to prevent overcharging/overdischarging, and some high-end models support APP remote control.
LED light source: energy consumption is only 1/10 of incandescent lamps, and the life span can reach more than 50,000 hours.
Lamp body structure: cast aluminum, stainless steel or engineering plastics, both waterproof (IP65 grade) and corrosion-resistant.
Workflow:
Absorb sunlight during the day → solar panels generate electricity → energy storage → photosensors trigger night lighting → battery power supply → cycle the next day.
What about the difference between LED and SOLAR?
, while LED garden lights rely on grid power. Solar systems eliminate wiring costs and avoid complex trenching for underground cables.
. They produce no light pollution or harmful radiation, unlike some LED systems.
. LED lights require fixed wiring and grid connectivity.
Low Maintenance & Durability
Solar lights have fewer components (no wiring or transformers) and typically last 5–10 years with minimal upkeep. Batteries may need replacement every 4–6 years, but modern systems are increasingly reliable. LED lights depend on grid stability and may face higher maintenance costs for wiring repairs.
