Without competent lighting, even an ornate garden garden will look uncomfortable and even frightening in the evening. You can install swings , benches , statues or a fountain here, but all these wonders will be hidden in the darkness and unseen to the owners or their guests. Of course, if in each corner to attach a regular lantern and illuminate with electric light all night their estate, then this beauty will cost people at the end of the month in a very decent amount. But a good alternative solution is street lights, in which the battery is charged with sunlight. Such devices are not very expensive and can have the most fantastic form, it's not for nothing that they are now willingly bought up by all owners of country cottages.
The principle of work of a flashlight on a solar battery
Space technologies are increasingly being introduced into the lives of ordinary people. If the first solar cells and batteries were very cumbersome, then modern devices have greatly diminished in size. This made it possible to create a mass of inexpensive lanterns, powered by the accumulated solar battery charge, which can be easily installed directly in the house or around residential buildings. Also a big breakthrough was the appearance of very economical LED lamps, not inferior in brightness to conventional devices, but consuming fewer times the power.
Special panels absorb solar energy throughout the daylight and, at the same time, are engaged in converting it into convenient electric energy. When the star travels beyond the horizon, the response time of the sensitive sensor sets in. With the advent of twilight the relay switches on and the wall or ground street lamp on the solar battery starts to work. Usually there are several light-emitting diodes with a power of about 0.06 W, which are enough to illuminate the adjacent territory.
Reliability of solar street lighting fixtures
Weather conditions at night on these devices do not have much influence. The main thing is to have enough daylight to charge the right amount of energy. Usually, the hermetic case does not withstand heavy showers, snow, dew, severe frosts (up to -50 °) or heat (up to + 50 °). To take care of such practically invulnerable lanterns is almost unnecessary, they do not need prevention or refueling with some kind of fuel, special wiring. It is enough simply to wipe the dirt periodically on the protective glass, thereby increasing the radiation efficiency. The household nickel-cadmium battery is designed for 15 years, and LEDs have a resource of 100 thousand hours, which should be enough for more than 20 years of normal operation. True, this can only be said about high-quality street lamps on solar panels, cheap devices of unknown manufacturers fail usually much faster.
What do solar streetlights do?
The most common are devices made of glass, bronze, plastic, light steel alloys. In addition, you can find appliances made from eco-friendly rattan, bamboo, various types of wood of European origin. All this allows you to make very decorative-looking lanterns, capable of decorating the estate in any style.
Design of household lamps on solar batteries
Such devices can now look very diverse. At the cottages are widely met by powerful street lamps on a solar battery, located on high poles near the entrance to the estate and near the front door. Also, various small flashlights on short supports are popular. The latter type of equipment has a relatively small cost and it is convenient to install them in a large number along the tracks, the pool, along the perimeter of the manor. Always very decorative look at street lamps of balls on solar batteries, which have different colors and sizes. In addition, now well-sold instruments in the form of funny animals and fairy-tale creatures - frogs, chickens, gnomes, butterflies, birds. Such flashlights are very beautiful and can decorate the interior even in the daytime
