The buried type is mainly related to the battery type. Solar street light batteries are mostly colloidal and lead-acid batteries, which are larger and heavier, and cannot be placed inside the lamp head or suspended, but only buried. Moreover, the battery should be kept at the most stable temperature possible. Both high and low temperatures can affect all kinds of batteries, especially lead-acid batteries because liquid and gel electrolyte batteries have very low performance and high losses at low temperatures. In addition to this reason, there are 3 other benefits of burying the batteries of ..read more

CCT CCT is defined in degrees Kelvin; a warm light is around 2700K, moving to neutral white at around 4000K, and to cool white, at 5000K or more. Luminous flux In photometry, luminous flux or luminous power is the measure of the perceived power of light. It differs from radiant flux, the measure of the total power of electromagnetic radiation (including infrared, ultraviolet, and visible light), in that luminous flux is adjusted to reflect the varying sensitivity of the human eye to different wavelengths of light. The&n ..read more
