Hybrid LED lamps
Hybrid LED lamps are use a solar panel on top of the lamp to generate and store energy during the day. When the lamp senses that it`s getting dark, it will turn on automatically and starts to emit light until the batteries are empty. Then, the lamp will switch to the main power supply. This helps LED lamps to save even more power on top of the savings they already provide.
Solar LED lamps
And then there are solar LED lamps. These lamps work for a 100% on solar energy thru the solar panel on top of the lamp. The biggest pro of these lamps is that they don`t need any power from the main power supply. This means they can be placed anywhere, even the most remote places. A con is that the lamps might have problems in the winter with the amount of daylight they get.
Luckily, there have been solutions found to co-op with the cons. First, the lamps can be delivered with motion sensors. When there`s no motion, the lamp will go to 10, 30 or 50% of the maximum capabilities it must save light for when there is motion in front of the lamp. Then, the lamp will go to its 100% capabilities. A second option is a timer. The timer can be set to, for example, make the lamp emit just half of its power between the ours of 2 and 5 to save energy for the ours, when people are much more on the road. Outside of the set ours, the lamp will emit 100% of its potential. These solutions help the solar lamp to get to the end of the night. A remote control can be used to control both kinds of lamp to set the right settings.
Both hybrid- and solar lamps as well as attributes like lamp poles are available at Vocare. We deliver professional advice for the choice between the two lamps and are happy to help you.
LED`s do it!
