What is solar lights?
Solar lights use solar energy as its powered source and don not rely on the power grid.
What are the types of solar lights?
What are the application scenarios of solar lights?
Solar Portable Lighting System
- outdoor camping
- outdoor construction sites
- temporary markets or event locations
- small-scale remote operation bases
- emergency rescue command centers
- clipping above the desk to serve as a desk lamp
- clipping near the cradle for convenient care of the baby at night
- clipping inside the closet for easy finding of clothes
- doorstep
- park
- campus
- parking lot
- serve as a bedside lamp for night reading and lighting when getting up at night
- the pull chain eliminates the frequent need to search for the switch in stairwells, corridors, storage rooms, and balconies, etc.
What does a solar lighting system consist of?
- solar panel
- controller
- battery
- LED: such as bulb, light tube, light strip, etc.
How do solar lights work?
Input: Most of the solar lights operate based on the principle of the hybrid solar system.
- When the sunlight is sufficient, the solar panels collect energy from the sunlight and convert it into DC (direct current). The controller converts the DC into usable DC and stores some power in the battery.
- When the sunlight is insufficient, you can connect the controller to a USB to charge the battery. There is an AC/DC module that converts the AC (alternating current) from the power grid via USB into usable DC.
Output:
- When switched on, the DC flows through the light bulb, illuminating it.
- When switched off, the light goes out, but the battery keeps charging until it reaches its upper limit.
Do solar lights work without electricity?
Yes. As a hybrid solar system, solar lights can accept both AC (alternating current) energy from the power grid via USB and DC (direct current) energy from the solar panels. When using the latter energy source, there is no need for electricity.
How can I make my solar lights work?
There is a switch on the solar lights or solar lighting system. By pressing the switch, you can turn on the solar lights.
As long as the cables between the solar panels, the controller and the battery are connected, the solar panels operate and the battery continues to be charged until it is fully charged.
How long do solar lights take to charge?
It depends on the battery capacity and the model.
- Commonly, for small-sized batteries within the range of 1000 to 3000 mAh, the charging time is between 6 and 8 hours.
- For larger-sized batteries within the range of 3000 to 5000 mAh, it is between 10 and 12 hours.

Is it okay to leave solar lights on all night?
Yes, if the battery is fully charged, the solar lights can last for up to 8 hours.
How long can a solar light stay on?
It depends on the battery capability of each solar light. Take Pull Chain Wall Light as an example. There are 2 modes:

How many years do solar lights last?
Usually, the lifespan of solar lights ranges from 3 -10 years. However, it varies depending on the working conditions, the quality of the products, and the frequency of use of each solar light.
Do solar lights need sun or just light?
Solar lights need the sun to operate. They can also function on cloudy days, but the efficiency is slightly lower.
Can you replace batteries in solar powered lights?
Some battery are built-in, such as Solar Clip-on Light, Solar Street Light, and Solar Pull Chain Wall Light. You can open the out structure frame to replace the battery. You can open the outer frame to replace the battery.
Can I put normal batteries in solar lights?
In principle, you can. But it is not recommended. Because normal batteries cannot be long-term compatible with the solar panels and will affect the operation of the solar lights.
Do solar lights still charge when turned off?
Yes, solar lights are charged when turned off (the switch). As long as the cables between the solar panels, the controller and the battery are connected, the solar panels operate and the battery continues to be charged until it is fully charged.
Does rain damage solar lights?
No, the rain will not damage solar lights.
The solar lights are IP65 waterproof designed and manufactured with high quality sealing techniques to ensure their resistance to water. This means they can withstand normal rainfall without adversely affecting their performance or functionality.
What damages solar lights?
- Strong impacts
- Poor-quality chargers
- Corrosive substances invasion
- Being placed in a corrosive environment for a long time
