Split solar street light VS All in one solar street light

Solar street lights consist of solar panels, lighting sources, batteries, and charge controllers. Over time, solar street lights have changed markedly in their design and functionality. At present, there are mainly two types of solar street lights available namely all in one and split solar street lights. Before investing in solar street lights, it is essential to understand the difference between the new-age solar lights and the traditional ones.

All in one solar street lights are a contemporary outdoor lighting solution and have become famous in recent times due to their compact, stylish, and lightweight designs. All the components of all in one solar street lights are integrated together into one single unit. These street lights are available with and without motion sensors. The lights without motion sensors work at maximum brightness from sunset to sunrise. All in one solar street lights with infra-sensory motion sensors dim down their brightness 30 seconds after switching on at dusk and automatically glow up to maximum brightness when any motion is detected. The dim mode is reverted back if there is no movement in the area. This feature helps to save energy and is useful in areas where there is not much people movement.

Installation of all in one and integrated solar street lights is relatively simple and straightforward and can be done with minimal manual assistance and basic equipment.

Due to their small size and integrated design, both lights can be installed onto poles or walls.

Energy-efficient and intelligent control systems used all in one as well as integrated solar street lights help to extend the life of the solar lighting unit by way of motion sensors and dimming features.

The components in traditional solar street lights are the same as the modern lights, i.e., solar panels, controller, luminary, and battery. Unlike their modern counterparts, the battery used in traditional solar street lights is lead acid. Lead acid battery usually requires a battery box that needs to be fixed on the pole as a separate unit or buried underground near the pole to protect it from overheating. The luminary and solar panels are fixed towards the top of the pole and the battery towards the bottom; therefore, long cables are to be used to connect these two.

Transportation of traditional solar street lights is a bit difficult as the lead-acid batteries used are bulky, especially when they need to be carried to remote areas. In addition, these batteries require regular maintenance, which is an additional expenditure.

Installation of a traditional solar light is relatively time-consuming and complicated and demands some amount of professional expertise.

Understanding the pros and cons of traditional as well as modern solar street lights will help you determine which one is worth your investment. Considering the extended lifespan that modern all in one solar street lights can offer, the long-term, benefits of these present-day solar lights seem exemplary and will only keep multiplying in the coming days.
