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.

Do LED lights use a lot of energy?

LED lights require significantly less wattage to produce high lumen outputs compared to traditional lighting technologies like incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. This means solar lighting systems equipped with LEDs can achieve brighter light while consuming less 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 many lumens does a LED light need?

Higher lighting requirements of highways and parking lots start around 25 Watts / 2600 Lumens and go up to 70 Watts / 6500 Lumens. Note: The lower the wattage, the less the LED fixture has to work to produce the lighti.e. lower wattage can, at times, equal higher lumen per watt output.
