Brightness isn’t just about lumens—it’s about delivering the right light for the task while maximizing energy efficiency. Let’s decode how to choose solar lights that balance brilliance and battery life.
Lumens vs. Wattage: What Matters
-
Lumens: Measure of brightness (e.g., 100 lumens = 1 traditional candle).
-
Wattage: Power consumed. Modern LEDs produce 80-100 lumens per watt (vs. 15 lumens/watt for incandescent bulbs).
Recommended Brightness by Application
-
Ambient Garden Lighting: 50-300 lumens (soft glow for pathways).
-
Security Lighting: 700-1300 lumens (motion-activated floodlights).
-
Task Lighting (e.g., camping): 200-500 lumens (adjustable modes).
Light Color Temperature
-
Warm White (2700K-3000K): Cozy, inviting—ideal for patios.
-
Cool White (4000K-5000K): Crisp visibility—perfect for driveways.
-
Daylight (6000K+): Bright and alerting—used in security lights.
Maximizing Efficiency
-
Opt for lights with motion sensors or dimming modes to conserve energy.
-
Check the lumen maintenance rating (e.g., 80% after 50,000 hours).
