Core Performance and Output

Delivering 7000 lumens at 70 watts, this solar area light achieves an efficiency of 100 lumens per watt. The Type 3 beam angle provides broad coverage, suitable for illuminating large areas such as streets and parking lots. The fixture operates with a power factor greater than 0.98 and maintains a total harmonic distortion of less than 20%, ensuring stable electrical performance.

While the light is effective for typical mounting heights, excessive output may occur if installed at low heights, potentially leading to glare. It is recommended to consider the mounting height to optimize light distribution and minimize any potential issues.

Adjustability and Control Options

This solar street light features an integrated motion sensor and photocell, allowing for intelligent lighting control. The motion sensor adjusts the light output based on detected movement, enhancing security and energy efficiency. The photocell ensures the light operates only during nighttime hours, further conserving energy.

The fixture does not support dimming, but its intelligent mode allows for varying light levels based on time and motion detection, providing flexibility in operation.
