It has been a while since many people have asked me that between solar cells street lights like this and floodlight for spotlight Solar cells like this What are the differences? And How do we choose between these two for wour house? In this video, I will point out that what we should take into account when choosing these two types of solar cell lights Then I will show you how to install these two solar cell lamps. up on the same light pole and will demonstrate clearly. how difference they are For you to be able to choose right one for your home. A while ago, I have got this floodlights . This one is brand MODI from XML Solar. 200W model. it come with a solar panel like this And I just got a new solar cell street lamp. This is a mid-end street lamp . Also MODI brand from XML Solar . This one is 150W model. which come with wall/pole mounting kid along with this solar panel. For this 200W model floodlight. I got it for 1,799 baht. For this 150W model street lamp, 1,890 baht. You can see that both of them are about the same price. Street lights is about 100 baht more. So, How are the differences? Let's look at the specification first. According to the specification that I have summarized in this table. You can see that the spotlight 200W model. It has a higher specification than a 150W model street lamp. But from the experience that I have used both types of solar cell lamps in the past. Both of them have quite different indications. which I will summarize in the next step. What we can clearly see is that This spotlight The lamp body and the solar panel are separated. Usually, they will provide a cable about 2 meters long. which the lamp and solar panel can be installed separately It will result in a more flexible installation. for example We can put solar panels on the roof. Then drag the cable to install the spotlight under the roof. or we can attach them to the wall Let the solar panel block the sunlight for the lamp. Like this With the installation kit, it only has a mounting kit like this. make the installation on the pole Whether it's a round pole or a square pole Can be quite difficult to do. which from the last video I had to apply angle iron and u-bolt. on on the pole to help the solar cell lamp to be able to be mounted on pole. This time, let's take a look at the street light set. For the supplied mounting kit It will have advantage. We are able to turn the solar panel. quite independently. at the installation site We will be able to turn the solar panel. to face the direction of the sunlight . It also has a angel locking set for the solar panel. right here We may set it to tilt forward like this. Or tilt backwards like this. And this leg We were able to attach to the wall as well. In which in the set, they also have steel anchors as well. Then another highlight of this installation kit. That it can be mounted the pole. easily as We don't have to do workaround. Therefore, if we compare street lamp with a spotlight lamp This street lamp will be much easier to be mounted on the pole. The next step we will go to installation. Then let's look at the differences in usage. What's the differences between these 2 lamps? The pole that we will use in this video is 1.2 mm. Galvanized square Steel . Size 2 x 2 inches, 3 m. long. at the base part we will drill holes where one hole is at 24 cm. from the bottom When drilling, we use a concrete nails. tap it to the mark the drilling point first It will be easier to drill. Then we use the step drill bit. Noted that 12 cm. holes and 24 cm. holes must be on different side. In summary, drill 4 holes. In order to insert the rods through like this And then iron rods. the long one is 27 cm. and the short one is 23 cm. and at the top I took the angle steel Thickness 1.8 mm. Length 40 cm. and weld it here and you can see it has holes here We took.....aluminum tape and seal the holes Then we sprayed it with matte black acrylic lacquer especially where we drilled to prevent rust as well We prepare a plastic canvas. and laid it on a relatively flat surface. And this is an 18 liter bucket. that I use regularly when casting the pole bases. We put the bucket in first. And then iron rods. The short one on the top holes And then the long line... put it in the bottom holes and put the pole in the middle of bucket we will see The rods will be a cross each other. Then we took 4 bamboo sticks to support around it. We use clear tape here and wrap it around to secure it. and wrapped it many rounds Then adjust it to perpendicular on both sides. this side with this side as well After setting it up We are going to cast cement at the base of pole. Now I'm going to mix the mortar. We use 1.5 buckets of mortar. 1.5 buckets of sand 2 buckets of gravel 1 bucket of water Pour it down to the same height as the top iron. Smooth the surface. We will leave it like this for 24 hours. And tomorrow we'll see. It rains a lot these days. We should put plastic to cover it. after drying it will be like this This time we will remove the bucket. You have to shake it a bit. We can still move it here. We can also take out the bucket. By pressing the bucket flat Take note that we cannot use the pole like this We must bury it in the ground. to make it stable enough You can now see that if we are going mount the spotlight We have to do workaround as the installation kit. to be able to mount spotlight lamp on the pole. Well, you may cast cement at right in the hole at site. but mine It's in a pretty difficult spot So I cast it here first. and then I will move it to bury at the site After mounted it, we connect the cable . And then we press the button right here. to turn it on After we press the button The light will come on for a moment. Then the light will turn off. and then at night It will turn on automatically. To mount street lights on the pole will be much easier. because of its ready-to-use installation kit We can install it on 2x2 inch square steel poles. or a round pole size 2.5 - 3 inches This is an important difference. If that happens that we are going to buy a solar cell lamp to mount on a pole. You may have to consider that It comes with installation kit or not After the installation is done Then I let it shine on each side. On my left is street light. On the right side is a spotlight. I will show you the differences in area coverage. of each lamp and how is it different I will turn off the spotlight first Now only the street lights is left. You will see that the street lamps cover the area behide the pole about 1-2 meters. The area coverage at the front is about 3-4 meters around Then I change to maximum brightness. Let's try to measure Lux value. Lux value at a height of 3 meters. It's at 32 Lux now. which is considered much brighter than normal street lights This time I will change to a spotlight. now you can see the difference. I turned the lamp face all the way down. You will see that the spotlights It cans cover only a little area behind the pole. But at the front, This is considered very far. Here, it's about 10 meters. Lux vale is 82. This is not surprising at all. Because the specification of the spotlight is higher than the street light . If compared to the o Lux values . It's equal to the brightness of walkway in the building. I think it's very bright. But there is another point that must be taken into account . Although the spotlights can shine farther and take up more space. But if we walk towards the lamp The light will shine right into the eyes. It makes us dazzle easily. for this point Street lights have advantageous. because the angle of light is shining down to the ground Therefore, it will be less dazzle When we walk towards the light I summarize as follows. If you want a light that covers a lot of space. But rarely use that area at night. for example In this garden You may choose a spotlight or floodlight like this. but if you I want a light that covers an area of 3-4 meters. Easy to install on the pole and install in the area that we use at night as well For example, at front gate or walk way in the house We may consider to buy a street light like this. because when we drove in Or walk into the house. We will see the area more clearly. Now The battery of the spotlight lamp is at 3 points. As for the street lights, the battery remains at 4 points. Let's see in the morning around 5.00-05.30 am. And see if they are still on? It is now 5:04 am. The light is still on well . Let's look at the amount of battery. The street light has 4 points left. The spotlight has 3 points left. Both lamps still have quite a lot of power left in the battery. It's more than 50% both. and the light is still cover to area well. It is now 5:34 am. Then both of them were turned off. For when I do actual installation I will put the pole into the hole. Then install the two lamps Separated from each other. for these two solar cells lamp I will put a link in the description under the video. and pin it in the comment as well Please consider LIKE SHARE and SUBSCRIBE to Daddy's Tips Channel That is all for today See you in the next video.
