The suitability of streetlight types varies significantly depending on the application scenarios, such as rural roads/courtyards, urban main roads/squares, and remote off-grid areas.
- For rural roads and courtyards
Recommended types: Small-to-medium power solar-powered LED streetlights and low-voltage LED courtyard lights
These streetlights are ideal for rural settings for several reasons. Solar-powered LED models require no complex wiring, which saves construction costs and adapts to the relatively scattered layout of rural roads and courtyards.
- Their moderate brightness (typically 10–30W for courtyards and 30–60W for rural roads) is sufficient to ensure safe nighttime travel and daily lighting needs without causing light pollution.
- Low-voltage LED courtyard lights, on the other hand, are safe to install and operate, making them perfect for residential courtyard areas where safety is a priority.
- Both types feature low energy consumption and minimal maintenance requirements, aligning with the operational needs of rural areas with limited maintenance resources.

- For urban main roads and squares
Recommended types: High-power high-lumen LED streetlights and smart integrated LED streetlights
Urban main roads have high traffic volumes and require bright, uniform, and stable lighting, while squares need wide-area illumination with good color rendering.
- High-power LED streetlights (80–200W for main roads, 150–300W for large squares) deliver high luminous efficiency, excellent color rendering index (CRI ≥ 80), and long service life (up to 50,000 hours), reducing long-term replacement and maintenance costs for urban management departments.
-
Smart integrated LED streetlights take it a step further, with functions like dimming control, motion sensing, and remote monitoring. They can automatically adjust brightness based on traffic flow (e.g., reducing brightness during off-peak hours) to save energy, making them a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice for modern urban infrastructure.

- For remote areas without electricity access
Recommended types: Off-grid high-efficiency solar-powered LED streetlights and wind-solar hybrid streetlights
These areas lack a stable power grid, so streetlights must operate independently.
- Off-grid solar LED streetlights are equipped with high-efficiency photovoltaic panels and large-capacity lithium batteries, which store solar energy during the day for nighttime use. They are suitable for remote regions with abundant sunlight, such as mountainous pastoral areas and border posts.
-
For areas with insufficient sunlight but ample wind resources, wind-solar hybrid streetlights are a better option.
- They combine wind turbines and solar panels to generate and store electricity, ensuring stable power supply even in harsh weather conditions.
- Both types are fully self-sufficient, require no grid connection, and have low long-term operational costs, making them the optimal lighting solution for off-grid remote areas.
