As an environmentally friendly and energy-saving lighting solution, outdoor solar wall lights have been widely used in the field of outdoor lighting because of their advantages such as no need for external power supply and easy installation. However, to fully exert its effectiveness, it is crucial to choose a suitable installation location.
When choosing an installation location, you first need to consider the lighting conditions of the solar panel. The light source of the solar wall light depends on the energy conversion of the solar panel, so ensuring that the panel can receive sufficient and continuous sunlight is the key to a successful installation. For northern regions with higher latitudes, the optimal lighting angle of the panel is usually 45 degrees; while in southern regions with lower latitudes, it is recommended to adjust the angle to 30 degrees. This is because the solar altitude angle varies with latitude, and a reasonable installation angle can maximize the efficiency of light energy absorption from sunrise to sunset.
In addition, the orientation of the solar panel is also extremely important. It should face south, because in most parts of my country, the sun rises from the east and the southern sky has the most sunlight. The south-facing installation method ensures that the panel receives direct sunlight for most of the day. At the same time, avoid installing the panel in a shaded area, such as under a large tree or under the eaves, to prevent blocking the light and affecting the efficiency of photoelectric conversion.
In addition to lighting conditions, the installation location of outdoor wall lights should also be coordinated with the needs of daily activities. Outdoor wall lights not only provide lighting functions, but also beautify the environment and create an atmosphere. Therefore, when choosing the installation location, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the lighting needs and aesthetics. Generally, the optimal installation height of outdoor wall lights is 1.8 to 2.5 meters, which can not only meet basic lighting needs, but also avoid the discomfort caused by direct light to the human eye. At the same time, the coordination between the wall light and the surrounding environment, such as wall color, plant landscape, etc., should be considered to achieve the best visual effect.
Safety and stability are also factors that cannot be ignored during the installation of outdoor wall lights. Due to the complex and changeable outdoor environment, the installation location of the wall light should ensure stability and reliability to avoid falling off or damage under severe weather conditions such as wind and rain. During the installation process, the base of the wall light must be firmly fixed to the wall using the included screws and expansion tubes and other accessories. At the same time, the wall surface of the installation location should be checked to see if it is flat and solid to ensure the installation quality of the wall light.
For solar wall lights with human body sensing function, the choice of installation location also needs to consider the frequency of human flow activities. This type of wall lamp usually has a built-in human body sensor, which can automatically light up when someone passes by and turn off after leaving. Therefore, it is recommended to install wall lamps in areas with frequent human activities, such as courtyard entrances and garden paths, so as to give full play to its sensor control and intelligent and convenient features.
