Greenshine Continues to Develop Solar LED Streetlight

published: 2014-09-02 11:52

Proper lighting is essential to safety, security, life quality and many aspects. The Department of Public Works in the City of Blythe realized this and decided to work with Greenshine to light this facility up and get their security issues in order.

Lots of power and light

It took two 100W LED fixtures on each steel pole to begin the process. Each pole had four 150W solar panels affixed to it. The panels need a place to store the electrical energy after conversion and so four 200Ah gel batteries were mounted onto the pole. The batteries were placed in stainless steel boxes that are lockable. The solar LED streetlight poles therefore are able to produce enough lighting for security, safety and productivity.

Accuracy and Flexibility

It is important to note that installation of lights is dependent on a number of factors to ensure that they are effective. Photometrics is used to find out how light gets disbursed. This will give the optimum position to place the poles for proper distribution of light.

It is easy to install a solar streetlight -- just read the manual and do it yourself without the help of any technician or contractor. It also takes a relatively short time so very little time is wasted. What’s more, the lights installed are powerful and can ideally run the whole night. As soon as the sun begins to set the photosensor in the streetlight takes note of it and the light goes on. It will stay on until the sun comes out again the next morning unless there is any problem or the lights have been set to switch off at a certain time, probably when they are in minimal use.
