Why Use A Solar Batten Light?

 

What Is A Solar Batten Light?

Commonly seen in use at car parks, sheds, bus stops, industrial or commercial warehouses, garages, tunnels, or even some outdoor kiosks, batten lights are long, extended tubular lighting. These are known for casting even and clean light that spans across large spaces. LED battens replaced fluorescents as the more energy-efficient and eco-friendly alternative. These provided an even, bright, non-flickering lighting and non-toxic lighting solution.

Then came the solar batten light that is highly sought after today. These lights tap into the latest solar lighting technology to either connect several lights to function together or individually, as per requirement.  Generally, a solar batten light either operates with a remote or with the help of passive infrared (PIR) sensors or radar sensors. PIR sensors essentially use pyroelectric sensors to detect heat energy in their immediate environment to enable the switching on and off.

A primary solar batten light is made of a microwave sensor, and a first-class MPPT controller; these scale down higher voltage output obtained through solar panels to lower voltage required to charge batteries, lithium batteries, and a led light source. Another point to note about a solar batten light is its simple plug-and-play installation feature. Other add-on components required with a solar batten light are waterproof connectors, light mounting hardware, and a solar panel mounting bracket.

 

Notable Features Of A Solar Batten Light:

1. Solar batten lights are designed to have a high average of 164 lumens per watt, allowing dependable and vigorous solar-led systems. These use more lumens and less wattage.
2. Using PIR or Radar sensors that a solar batten light employs to save more energy. These sensors are activated effortlessly with any slight movement and are easily adjustable as well. Radar sensors are regarded as more sensitive than PIR sensors in terms of providing a more excellent range for distance and angle. 
3. Certain solar batten lights provide different lighting modes with MPPt controller and remote setting. They allow one to adjust the lighting at any time of the day and adjust the luminous flux of the lights.
4. Like any solar-based lighting solution, a solar batten light does not require leg-work, i.e. wiring, digging, trenching, or construction at the installation time. This reduces the installation and maintenance at the user's end. 
5. The only significant investment that a solar batten light needs are at the initial buyout. Since it derives its power from a single source, the sun, you are saved from paying any electricity bills. It is incredibly cost-effective. 
6. Compared to other lighting fixtures, Solar batten lights sustain themselves for a longer duration before their lumen contents depreciate. Depending on its quality standard, the lamp might need replacing after around 50,000 hours of use, but the actual solar panel has a lifespan of 15-20 years. 
7. It is an eco-friendly lighting solution that does not produce any toxic waste, reducing carbon footprint and benefiting the environment. 
8. Most solar batten lights also feature protection against over-charging, overpower discharge, or possible over-voltage. 

A Solar Batten Light can be a reliable, durable lighting alternative to non-sustainable and energy-consuming lighting fixtures.
