As an important part of the outdoor lighting system, the performance and service life of pole lamps are significantly affected by a variety of climate factors. This article will deeply explore the impact of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, wind, rain, and lightning on the performance of high pole lights, and propose corresponding protective measures.
Effect of temperature on performance of high pole lights
In a high temperature environment, the LED chips and other electronic components inside the high pole lamp will encounter significant thermal stress. The LED chip will release heat during operation. If the heat is not dissipated in time, the chip temperature will continue to rise, resulting in uneven distribution of thermal stress. This situation will not only reduce the luminous efficiency of the LED, but may also shorten its service life. In addition, high temperatures can also cause expansion and contraction of materials, especially the expansion coefficient mismatch between LED chip packaging materials (such as silicone or resin) and metal brackets, which may lead to excessive internal stress in the packaging structure, thereby causing wire bonding point displacement. Problems such as enlargement and desoldering of solder joints.
In a low temperature environment, the driving power supply of the high pole lamp may not start normally due to the low temperature. Under cold conditions, the density and activity of carriers of the switch tube decrease, resulting in a decrease in the starting point of the overload protection; the electrolyte of the electrolytic capacitor may freeze at low temperatures and lose the capacitance effect, thus affecting the normal operation of the lamp. At the same time, low-temperature environments may also make internal materials fragile, increasing the risk of material breakage when stressed. As the material shrinks, internal stresses may further intensify, causing damage to the package structure.
Effect of humidity on performance of high pole lights
In a high-humidity environment, the circuits and components inside the high pole lamp are easily affected by moisture, resulting in short circuit or damage to the circuit. Especially when the sealing performance of the lamp is poor, moisture is more likely to invade, thereby accelerating the aging and corrosion of the circuit. In addition, increased humidity will accelerate the aging process of the bulb. Thermal expansion and contraction caused by moisture increases the risk of the bulb burning or cracking, while moisture can also accelerate chemical reactions in the materials inside the bulb, shortening its service life. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that high pole lights have a good moisture-proof design.
The impact of wind, rain and lightning on the performance of high pole lights
When used outdoors, high pole lights need to withstand the pressure of strong winds. If the installation structure of the lamp is not strong enough or the design is unreasonable, excessive wind pressure may cause the lamp to fall off or be damaged. Therefore, when designing and installing high pole lights, the influence of wind pressure should be considered to ensure their stability.
Rainwater erosion mainly affects the casing and sealing structure of the lamp. If the sealing performance is insufficient, rainwater may penetrate inside, causing circuit short circuits or component damage. Therefore, the lamps should have excellent waterproof properties to prevent rain damage. In addition, in areas with frequent lightning, high pole lights need to take effective lightning protection measures. Lightning may enter the interior of the lamp through wires, cables, etc., causing circuit damage or causing safety accidents such as fires.
