As the world evolves and develops, you will note that-people too have been amending their ways of life. With the help of solar-powered motion security light, you will find increased security.
Solar power is the most renowned renewable energy source. One of the most many innovations includes; 'Solar Powered Motion Security Lights.'
Yes, they are used for security purposes. But other than that, they do have other discreet purposes too.
Let us look into the benefits of security lights.
The savings are especially essential for businesses, both big and small. Firms can raise profits and reduce costs by cutting down on electricity bills. Solar panels provide energy for years at a low cost.
Moreover, with solar-powered motion security lights, investment risks can be ignored. European Electricity Consumers are likely to enjoy savings of about €200 billion.
Suppose you are a promoter of products and methodologies. In that case, you will find the invention of solar-power systems to be inspiring. The University of Taiwan proved that solar systems have environmental value.
The minds of the 21st century have been moving to environmentally-sound solutions.
Consumers will choose energy-efficient actions and are more willing to buy eco products.
Many businesses display their solar panels instead of trying to cover them up. The result of the higher use of solar systems? Increased efficiency as well as sales, bringing about a higher round of profits.
The government of the US has started a means to increase the use and deployment of solar systems. One of these initiatives includes the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC).
Through the implementation of 'Solar Investment Tax Credit,' the prices have decreased. This has led to the growth of solar installations.
Moreover, the government has extended the implementation of Solar Investment Tax Credit. Instead of being terminated in 2015, ITC will now lead up to 2023.
Solar-powered motion security lights are great conservers of battery life. The issue arises of when and how exactly the motion sensors should determine that the lights are to turn on.
'Motion Sensors' play the role of detecting motion around a certain range. There are three types of motion sensors:
Pro-tip: Check the descriptions of your solar powered motion sensor when purchasing it. Make sure that your solar light includes a motion sensor or photosensor. Otherwise, energy will be misspent- and you will have to bear nuisance trips due to it not being automatic.
It is essential to consider since it determines how far your sensor can detect movement. The use of these solar motion security lights is that the lights automatically turn on.
Choose a motion sensor range that matches with the area you want to cover. Motion sensors pick up movements according to the range, radius, or degree of area. For example- a motion sensor could detect motions on a scale of 120 to 180 degrees, in a radius of 10 meters. Of course, all these numerical vary according to the model and sensor you pick.
Do note that PIR sensors come with one drawback- their range does not pick up movement that is a little far off.
Solar motion security lights can come equipped with four different types of batteries. Let us divide them into two categories- the low powered and the high powered.
Low powered batteries include nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH). Both Ni-Cd and Ni-MH are cheap, light-weight, easy to replace, and appropriate for low powered solar security lights. These low powered batteries- Ni-Cd and Ni-MH are available in two sizes: AA and AAA batteries.
Another battery that solar enthusiasts regard as cheap and low powered is lithium-ion. Yet, its other branches are said to be high powered.
This point brings us to the high-powered batteries. These mainly include lithium iron phosphate or Li-phosphate batteries (the latter being more popular!). Li-phosphate is due to its incredible attributes: light-weight, easy to maintain, apt sizing, high-energy- leading to its life-cycle running up to 2000 cycles. But of course, these factors come at a high price.
The battery capacity refers to the utmost amount of energy a battery can keep contained or stored. The battery capacity can be measured using two units- ampere-hour (Ah) and milliampere-hour (mAh).
The higher the battery capacity- the lengthier its operating time-period. The following batteries are listed- from lowest to largest magnitudes:
Therefore, the positive connection between battery power and battery capacity is evident. The lower the battery capacity-the lower the battery power. The higher the battery capacity- the higher the battery power.
Solar panels come in three different types: Amorphous solar panels, Polycrystalline solar panels, and Monocrystalline solar panels. You can pick a solar panel most appropriate for your use according to their 'cell efficiency.'
Once again, I will start addressing the solar panels from least efficient to most efficient.
Again the cost and efficiency of these solar panels have a positive relationship. Lower the efficiency, lower the price. Similarly, the higher the efficiency higher the price.
Lumens is the unit used to measure the brightness of a light. If the light is alarmingly bright- it produces a higher amount of lumens. If the light is dull and muted- it will generate a lower amount of lumens.
It is also crucial to keep in mind that if the solar lights are producing a higher amount of lumens, the solar light will drain less power. So, you will be saving energy.
Most solar powered motion security lights provide 300 to 1200 lumens brightness. Cheaper versions provide lumens brightness of less than 100. More costly versions provide- 1200 lumens of brightness.
Always aim to buy a solar-powered motion security light of higher lumen ratings.
There are three modes of operations that solar motion security lights can perform. Pick the ones that suit your task at hand.
The solar lights cannot function if their solar panels are not absorbing enough energy.
Thus, it is necessary to make sure that you place your solar panels in such a position that they receive enough direct sunlight.
But, an issue may arise with the solar lights that come attached with their solar panels- you cannot place them in an open area. The best suggestion, in this case, would be to pick out a solar-powered motion light that is detached from its solar panel and can remain connected through wirings or cables.
Like my parents, if you have a huge backyard and live near the outskirts of a forest and often have squirrels and raccoons breaking in and digging around, the 'Aootek 182 Led Solar motion sensor lights' will be perfect for you!
These come equipped with a Lithium-ion battery capacity of about 2200 mAh.
It is also highly popular because you can choose its operational function (as it is adaptable to all three!) Therefore if you only need to keep away undesired creatures- the 'Security Motion' will be most appropriate. However, if you need some protection around your warehouse- 'Smart Brightness Control' will be ideal. We all love a 3 in 1 package deal, right?
The constructors of the motion sensors have upgraded them, and the PIR sensor can now detect any movement in the range of 26 feet.
Not only that, if you live in areas of a harsh climate- these LED installed solar lights will be a perfect match for your needs!
If you live in a particularly shadow-cast area or have a fear of the dark, these 'Litom Original Solar Lights Outdoor' with their Ultra-powered LED lights will be the ultimate reassurance for you.
