1. Prioritize lighting conditions
The energy source of Solar Outdoor Lights is sunlight, so sufficient lighting is the primary consideration. Avoid installing in places with large areas of shadows, such as under the shadows of large trees, tall buildings or large billboards. The ideal installation point is an area with no obstacles around it and can receive direct sunlight from sunrise to sunset. Even in winter when the sun's altitude angle is low, it can ensure that the solar panel receives enough light. For example, when installing in the courtyard, you can choose to install it on a lamp pole in the middle of the lawn, rather than near the wall or fence of the house, because the eaves, corners, etc. may block the sunlight when it is close to the building, affecting the charging efficiency.
2. Consider the use scenario and needs
The choice of installation point should be combined with the purpose of the lamp. If it is used to illuminate the road, the lamp should be installed on both sides of the road at a moderate height to ensure that the light is evenly sprinkled on the road surface to avoid lighting blind spots and glare. Generally speaking, the installation height of about 2-3 meters is more appropriate, and the direction of the lamp should be along the direction of the road. For courtyard lighting, the lights can be installed in the corners of the garden, at the turning points of the paths, or around the leisure area to create a warm atmosphere for the entire courtyard. At the same time, the installation position should be adjusted according to the area and range of lighting required to ensure uniform light coverage.
3. Stability and safety considerations
Solar Outdoor Lights require a stable installation foundation to withstand the influence of various natural factors. If installed on the ground, make sure that the ground is solid and can bear the weight of the light pole and lamps, and will not tilt or collapse in bad weather such as wind and rain. When installing, follow the correct installation method to firmly fix the light pole on the ground, and a concrete foundation can be used to increase stability. In addition, the installation point should be away from flammable, explosive items and water sources to prevent fires or electric shock accidents caused by lamp failures.
4. Maintenance convenience
Choosing a convenient installation point for maintenance is essential for the long-term use of Solar Outdoor Lights. The installation location of the light should not be too high or difficult to reach, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble when you need to clean the solar panels, check the lines or replace the batteries. Generally speaking, it is better to be able to easily reach the installation point of the lamp with the help of simple tools (such as ladders). At the same time, there should not be too many obstacles around the installation point to facilitate the operation of maintenance personnel, ensure that the lamp can be maintained and maintained in time, and extend its service life.
