Why Installation Height and Distance Matter for SSL-SOLAR-AL-PRO 🌞💡
When installing a solar light, many people focus on only lumen output. however, installation height and lighting distance are just as important. Installing a solar light outside its recommended range can reduce brightness, create dark spots, or even affect a long-term performance.
Below, we explain why the recommended installation guidelines for SSL-SOLAR-AL-PRO should be followed for best results.
Recommended Installation Guide
| Model Output | Installation Height | Lighting Distance |
|---|---|---|
| 300 lumen | 3 metres | Up to 8 metres |
| 600 lumen | 4 metres | Up to 12 metres |
| 900 lumen | 5 metres | Up to 14 metres |
These guidelines are designed to balance brightness, coverage, and efficiency.
1. Light Spread Depends on Height 📐
The higher a light is installed, the wider the light spreads. If a lower-lumen light is installed too high:
- The light becomes weaker at ground level
- Illumination spreads too thin
- CCTV imahes may appear dark or unclear
2. Distance Coverage Is Not Unlimited 🚶♂️
Each lumen level has a maximum effective lighting distance. Installing the light too far from the target area can cause:
- Uneven lighting
- Dark zones at the edge
- Reduced effectiveness for security monitoring
Following the recommended distance ensures consistent illumination across the intended area.
3. Better CCTV Image Quality 📷
For security applications, lighting directly affects CCTV performance.
- Correct height reduces glare and overexposure
- Proper distance improves facial and vehicle recognition
- Even lighting helps cameras capture clearer details
Incorrect installation often leads to washed-out images or excessive noise at night.
4. Efficient Use of Solar Power 🔋
Solar lights rely on stored energy. When installed outside recommended parameters:
- Lights may drain battery faster
- Brightness may drop before sunrise
- System lifespan may be reduced
Proper height and distance help the light operate efficiently throughout the night.
5. Avoid Light Waste and Complaints 🌙
Over-installing height or distnace can cause light spill into unwanted areas:
- Glare into neighbouring houses
- Light pollution
- Reduced lighting effectiveness where it is actually needed
Correct installation keeps light focused on the intended zone
Conclusion✅
The recommended installation height and distance for SSL-SOLAR-AL-PRO are not arbitrary numbers.
They are carefully designed to ensure:
- Optimal brightness at ground level
- Clearer CCTV images
- Efficient battery usage
- Longer product lifespan
