WHAT ARE SOLAR FLOOD LIGHTS, THEIR USES AND
ADVANTAGES?

• Zrika Lights

What are Solar Lights?

• These lights are powered by sunlight instead of
  electricity!
• Though the technology is quite advanced, in
  simple words, the solar panel gets to work the
  minute the sun is out and converts the sunlight
  into energy which is stored in the batteries,
  later this energy is used to power up the lights
  from dusk to dawn. A good quality solar light can
  run up to 10 hours!

• Solar LED floodlights are relatively new in the
  market and provide a convenient alternative in
  areas without access to an electrical outlet.
• The main components of Solar LED Flood light
• ? LED light source
• ? Solar Photovoltaic Panel
• ? Motion sensor (optional)
• ? Battery
• ? Controller
• ? Poles (for mounting street lights)

Solar Led Flood Lights

• Depending on the performance they can be divided
  into motion-based lights and continuous bright
  lights.
• The motion-based lights will have a human motion
  detector attached, which will increase the light
  to full brightness when it detects any movement
  and will remain dim otherwise. While this may be
  optimal to conserve energy it may not be the best
  choice for areas that need lighting.
• Continuous bright LED lights are chosen to keep
  in mind the area to be lit and the brightness
  required. Lumens are a way of measuring the light
  output from a lamp or a light source (while watts
  measure the energy output). The higher the lumen
  rating the brighter the lamp will appear. For
  e.g., 1100 lumens have the brightness of a

• 75-watt energy bulb.

• Application of Solar Flood lights in Public
  Spaces
• Buildings viz. sports stadiums, tourist
  attractions
• Stations, airports, ports, gas stations,
• Highways, roads,
• Bridges, tunnels,
• Landscape lighting, etc.

• Application of Solar Flood lights in Residential
  Spaces
• Walkways
• Driveways
• Gardens
• Playgrounds
• Parking lots, etc.

Solar LED Street lights

• They are raised lights mounted on a pole used to
  illuminate any type of pathway and the solar
  panel can be integrated into the pole or mounted
  on the light itself.
• LEDs are used as the primary lighting source in
  street lights due to their higher luminosity and
  lower energy consumption. The lack of warm-up
  time in LEDs also makes them more efficient if a
  motion sensor needs to be additionally attached.
• Each Solar LED Street light can have its own
  independent photovoltaic panel or a number or
  panels can be installed at a central power source
  which can be used to light up a number of street
  lights.

• The advantages of Solar LED Street lights are
• They reduce electrical energy consumption
• Operation costs are minimised
• They require less maintenance compared to regular
  lights
• The components are easy to transport
• Since they require no wiring, it is easy to
  install in any remote area
• As they are controlled by high-tech controllers,
  the intensity of light can be adjusted in
  accordance with need based on location/time of
  day
• They are water-resistant and weatherproof
• Nowadays with advancements in technology they
  have a stable output for around 10 years and can
  generate electricity for 25 years or longer.

8

• So, to conclude as we all know solar energy is an
  inexhaustible and clean form of energy.
• We should plan on switching to solar-powered
  lighting.
• After all who doesn't love sunbathing?
• The Solar lights definitely do!
