Technical FAQs 4

Do solar lights need wattage?

For solar lighting, focusing on lumens rather than wattage is key to ensuring you get the brightness you need without overburdening your energy system. Efficient solar lighting systems are designed to produce high lumens with low wattage, using advanced LED technology to achieve bright light while consuming minimal energy.

How many lumens does a solar light need?

Solar lights with 15–30 watts and 1000–3000 lumens provide enough light to cover larger areas while ensuring security and visibility. For Streets and Roadways: Street lighting requires even more brightness, with wattage ranging from 30–60 watts and lumen outputs between 3000 and 6000 lumens.

How do I choose a solar lighting system?

When planning a solar lighting system for a city, park, or commercial property, several factors can help you optimize both wattage and lumens for energy-efficient performance: Solar Panel Sizing: The wattage of your light fixture will determine the size of the solar panel needed to power it.

What is solar lighting wattage & lumen rating?

Low Wattage: Reduces energy consumption, leading to longer battery life and fewer solar panels needed to power the system. High Lumens: Ensures optimal lighting performance, providing bright and effective illumination in outdoor spaces. When comparing solar lighting options, understanding wattage and lumen ratings is crucial.
