Can LED lights be used as street lights?
Yes, LED lights are perfectly suited for use as street lights. As a vital component of public infrastructure, street lights enhance visibility and safety at night. Traditional street lights consume significant energy and can be costly to maintain. Switching to energy-efficient LED street lights can help municipalities reduce electricity costs. The advantages of LEDs include their long lifespan, high energy efficiency, and superior lighting performance. Furthermore, LED street lights feature flexible control options, including timers and smart systems that adjust lighting levels and color temperature, which further conserves energy.
How long do LED street lights last?
LED street lights typically last between 15 to 20 years, depending on factors like the operating environment, LED quality, and fixture materials. Premium LEDs can operate for up to 50,000 hours, equating to more than 10 years of use if operated for 10 hours daily. The lifespan is also influenced by components such as heat sinks, which manage and dissipate heat to prevent damage. For solar-powered LED street lights, the battery quality, such as LifePO4 batteries, plays a crucial role in extending lifespan, offering about 2000 to 2500 charge cycles.
CPS Lighting ensures all our LED street lights are crafted from high-quality materials and undergo rigorous testing before hitting the market. Most of our LED street lights also come with a 5-year warranty.
How do LED street lights turn on?
LED street lights are equipped with sensors, timers, and smart lighting controls that automate their operation. Commonly, a cadmium sulfide photo-resistor detects light levels; it turns the lights on when it’s dark and off when it’s light. Additional features like timer dimming and smart control systems enable remote monitoring and adjustments through central management software, enhancing energy savings and reducing carbon emissions. For those interested in smart street lighting control, CPS Lighting offers advanced solutions.
Can LED street lights be dimmed?
Yes, the dimming capability of LED street lights is one of their standout features, allowing for flexible lighting control and energy conservation. Dimmable LEDs can adjust their brightness based on ambient light conditions or in response to motion sensors, promoting energy efficiency and extending the fixture’s lifespan. CPS Lighting provides dimmable LED street lights with a range of control options, including timers, DALI, and photocells, for a more efficient lighting system.
Do LED street lights affect wildlife?
The design of LED street lights plays a significant role in their impact on wildlife. Properly designed LEDs minimize light trespass and reduce disruption to wildlife’s circadian rhythms. For instance, excessive light pollution can disturb sea turtle hatchlings on beaches. CPS Lighting offers shielded LED street lights with professional optics and smart control systems that minimize environmental impacts while balancing nighttime lighting needs for human and wildlife populations.

What is the solar street light?
Solar street lights utilize crystalline silicon solar panels for electricity generation, employ maintenance-free valve-regulated sealed batteries (gel batteries) for energy storage, and use ultra-bright LED lamps as a light source. These are controlled by an intelligent charge and discharge controller, serving as a sustainable alternative to traditional public electric lighting.
All in one Solar Street Light
All-in-one solar street lights, also known as "Integrated solar street lights," combine a high-efficiency solar panel, lithium battery, LED modules, and smart controller, along with a PIR or motion sensor. They are easy to install and transport.
All-in-Two Solar Street Light
The battery, controller and light source of the luminaire are integrated to form a unified unit. Additionally, the solar panel is separated, creating a two-piece system. Of course, the all-in-two approach is designed around lithium batteries, leveraging their advantages of small size and lightweight to achieve efficiency.

Lithium Battery
The majority of lithium batteries in solar street lighting systems are either ternary lithium batteries or lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. While more expensive, lithium batteries offer a longer lifespan compared to lead-acid types. Ternary lithium batteries excel in cold resistance, whereas lithium iron phosphate batteries are better suited for high temperatures, making them the preferred choice in warmer climates. Common voltages for lithium batteries in solar street light systems are 3.7V, 3.2V, 6.4V, 11.1V, and 12.8V.
Lead-acid Battery
Lead-acid batteries, including valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) and gel-type lead-acid batteries, are primarily used in split solar street lamp systems and are typically buried underground. They are larger and less expensive but have fewer life cycles compared to lithium-ion batteries. Most lead-acid batteries operate on 12V or 24V systems.
Monocrystalline Solar Panel
Monocrystalline silicon solar panels have a photoelectric conversion efficiency ranging from 18 to 24 percent, typically around 18 percent. These solar cells boast the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency among all types and can last up to 25 years. However, their production costs are higher compared to other types.
Polycrystalline Solar Panel
The production process for polycrystalline silicon solar panels is similar to that of monocrystalline silicon solar panels, yet polycrystalline panels have a lower photoelectric conversion efficiency, approximately 16%. However, they are less expensive than their monocrystalline counterparts.
PWM Solar Controller
PWM solar controllers, representing second-generation technology, are prevalent in the market today. They operate using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control. Compared to standard solar controllers, they offer significant improvements and can address issues of battery undercharge. While their charging conversion efficiency is about 70%, they do not fully utilize the solar panels.
MPPT Solar Controller
The MPPT solar controller is a third-generation technology featuring "Maximum Power Point Tracking." It is an advanced version of the PWM solar controller. The MPPT controller continuously monitors and tracks the voltage and current of the solar panel, ensuring maximum power (P=U*I) for optimal battery charging. With a tracking efficiency of 99% and a system power production efficiency of 97%, it provides excellent battery management.
