Conventional solar street lights VS all in one solar led street lights
In this chapter, we will go through a concrete example by presenting a comparison table between them, so you can figure out the pros and cons more easily.
| Traditional solar street lights | All in one solar LED street lights | ||
| basic | type | Split type | All-in-one type |
| Light source | MH (Metal Halide) | LED (Philips 3030 SMD) | |
| energy saving mode | no | yes | |
| installation | connect to the electricity grid | grid-tied | off-grid |
| cables | With cables | No cables | |
| request wiring skills | yes | no | |
| performance | autonomy days | 3 days | 3 days |
| brightness | 3000 lumens | 3000 lumens | |
| consumed power | 50 watts | 17 watts | |
| light efficacy | 60 lumens / watts | 180 lumens / watts | |
| working hours | 10 hours per day | 10 hours per day | |
| battery type | sealed lead-acid | lithium-ion | |
| battery size | 156 Ah | 27 Ah | |
| solar panel size | 280 watts | 50 watts |
the same brightness, working hours, and days of autonomy,
But it is obvious, the upfront cost of all in one solar led street lights is fairly low,
it only needs 27Ah battery and 50 watts solar panel, whereas traditional solar street lights require 156 Ah and 280 watts, let alone other extra wiring costs that are entailed in installation.
