With the development of outdoor road lighting, solar street lights and LED street lights are used in many areas. Solar street lights are generally used in new rural roads, while LED street lights can be applied to any road and are generally used in urban areas? Many people think that the price of solar street lights is more expensive than LED street lights, but it is not necessarily true. Let me explain it for you below.

The price of solar street lights is mainly determined by the power of solar panels, battery capacity, light poles and light source power. The price of LED street lights depends on the poles, the LED chips and drivers in the light source.

For example, for the same 6-meter LED street lights and 6-meter solar street lights, the price of solar street lights with low configuration may be less than 700 yuan, but the price of LED street lights with high-quality drivers and LED chips is higher than 700 yuan.

Therefore, at the same wall thickness and height, the same light source power and LED chip, the price of solar street lights is generally higher than that of LED street lights, but only at the same height and same power, the price of solar street lights is not necessarily higher than that of LED street lights. Mainly depends on the style of the lamp housing used in the LED street lamp, the internal chip brand and the driving brand, and the price of different brands is different. However, solar street lights are maintenance-free, a one-time investment, no electricity bills, and the benefits brought by the latter are much higher than LED street lights. The disadvantage is that general solar street lights are not full-power lights. Compared with LED street lights, the brightness will be darker, and the natural conditions for installation are better, and there is no shade. Therefore, it is generally not applicable to cities.
