1. Solar panels: capture sunlight

the core of solar floodlights is its solar Panels, usually photovoltaic (PV) cells made. These cells absorb sunlight during the day and convert it through the photovoltaic effect. Direct Current (DC) Electricity.

  • monocrystalline silicon solar panels(Higher efficiency and longer service life)

  • polycrystalline panel(Lower price, slightly lower efficiency)

solar panels are usually installed on the top of the lamp or placed separately to maximize the reception of sunlight.

2. Rechargeable battery: energy storage

the electrical energy generated by solar panels is stored in rechargeable battery in, usually lithium ion or lead-acid battery. This ensures that the lamp can work normally at night or on cloudy days.

    • battery capacity(In milliamperes or ampere hours) determines the duration of the lamp.

    • deep cycle battery are preferred because they can withstand repeated charging and discharging.

    3. LED lights: efficient lighting

    solar floodlight useLED (light-emitting diode) bulb because they are energy-efficient, have a long life, and emit bright light with very low power consumption.

    • Lumens (lm) represents brightness (the higher the lumen value, the brighter the light).

    • color temperature(in Kelvin) affects the light hue (warm white, cool white, daylight).

    4. Light sensor and controller: intelligent operation

    one photocell (light sensitive sensor) it can detect the brightness of the ambient light, turn on the light automatically at dusk, and turn off the light automatically at dawn. Some advanced models include the following features:

      • motion sensor(Human body infrared sensor) for security lighting.

      • Timing Settings used to control run time.

      • Remote controller for manual adjustment.

      5. Principle of system collaboration

        • daytime: Solar panels charge the battery.

        • Night: The light sensor uses the stored electrical energy to activate the LED light.

        • Optional Motion Activation: If equipped, the lamp will brighten when movement is detected.
