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.
