What are LED Lighting Supply Solar Area Lights?

LED Lighting Supply solar area lights are self-sustaining outdoor lighting solutions that operate independently of the electrical grid. They use solar panels to capture sunlight during the day, store energy in rechargeable batteries, and automatically power LED fixtures at night. Our lights are designed for large outdoor spaces like parking lots, pathways, security perimeters, and arenas. Solar area lights provide reliable illumination without trenching or wiring to a power source.

What are Hybrid Solar LED Lights?

Hybrid solar LED lights are lights that are both wired and include a solar panel/battery. These lights are primarily solar lights, but can also use line electricity in the event the batteries are too low to power the light.

What are the Benefits of LED Lighting Supply Area Solar Lights?

There are many benefits to using LED Lighting Supply solar lighting. Here are just a few

  • Lower Operating Costs: LED Lighting Supply area solar lights will eliminate your electricity bills as they are not connected to utility services. It's a cost-effective way of adding lighting to any location that's currently not hardwired.
  • Reduce Installation Expenses: With our lights, there is no need for trenching or costly wiring.
  • Reliable Off-Grid Lighting: Our solar technology ensures illumination even during power outages. This is important when safety is paramount. Our lights will provide bright lighting to areas that need light.
  • Motion Sensors: Our lights will dim when the area is void of activity.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Our lights will reduce the carbon footprint by utilizing renewable solar energy.
  • Lower Maintenance: Our LED lights offer long-lasting performance. Solar panels require only occasional cleaning.

Solar Area Lights FAQs

How Do LED Lighting Supply Solar Area Lights Work?

Using Photovoltaic (PV) panels, LED Lighting Supply commercial solar area lighting captures sunlight during the day. The solar panel, mounted on top of the fixture, absorbs photons from sunlight, generating electrons that convert into DC power. This energy is stored in a rechargeable battery for use at night. At dusk, a built-in photocell sensor activates the LED light. When the sun rises, the light turns off, and the battery begins recharging for the next cycle.

How Long Do Solar-Powered Area Lights Last?

There are two things to consider when discussing the lifespan of solar street lighting or municipal solar area lights:First is the lifespan of the light fixture. The lifespan of LED outdoor solar area lights will usually be in the range of 50,000 to 100,000 hours of use. Second in the lifespan of the rechargeable battery. They will not last as long as the LED light that they are powering, so they will need to be replaced a few times before the light source reaches the end of its usefulness. On average, expect the batteries to last around four to six years.

How Bright are Solar Power Area Lights?

The brightest Solar Powered Area Light we offer is 100 Watts producing 20000 lumens. This type of light could easily replace a 400-watt metal halide fixture.

Can Solar-powered Area Lights Be Used in All Climates?

Yes, they can but it's important to understand that they may require additional maintenance in harsh climates to keep them working properly. Dust, rain, and snow can accumulate on horizontally mounted PV panels, and when this happens, the panels will need to be kept clear so that they can function reliably. And if you live in a cloudy area, solar-powered lighting may not be the best option.

How Much Sunlight Do Solar Area Lights Need?

Commercial solar LED area lights charge quicker with direct sunlight than with partial or full shade. As a rule of thumb, 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight will fully charge the battery and this should last for 5 to 7 days.

How Do Solar Powered Area Lights Compare to Traditional Area Lighting in Terms of Cost and Efficiency?

The PV panels and rechargeable batteries will add additional cost along with the LED light fixtures. The trade-off is that it's offset by lesser installation costs than traditional LED lighting and zero utility charges. Otherwise, the efficiency of the light source itself will be the same.

How Much Do Solar-Powered Area Lights Cost?

There are two parts to the cost of these lights: the lighting components and the installation. Compared to traditional area lighting, solar-powered LED area lighting components are more expensive, but the installation costs are much cheaper. On average, solar-powered area lights we carry will cost between $500 and $1000 each.
