Glare is a common challenge in the design of solar street lights. Excessive direct light or improper optical distribution can cause visual discomfort to pedestrians and drivers, and even cause safety hazards.

Main sources of glare

Direct glare: LED light sources are exposed or lens design is improper, and light directly hits the human eye.

Reflection glare: Strong light is reflected by the ground or surrounding objects (such as glass and metal).

Light pollution: Light is scattered to non-target areas (such as residential buildings and the sky).

The anti-glare design of solar street lights is mainly achieved through the following methods:

Optical lens design: Specially designed optical lenses are used to evenly distribute light and reduce the intensity of direct light, thereby reducing the glare effect.

Reflector and sunshade: Installing reflector and sunshade can effectively control the propagation direction of light, prevent light from directly entering the eyes, and reduce glare.

Secondary optical distribution: Through secondary optical design, the light is redistributed to make it evenly distributed on the ground and reduce the area of strong light directly irradiated.

Anti-glare coating: Using anti-glare coating on lampshades or translucent materials can reduce the reflection and refraction of light, thereby reducing glare.

These design methods can not only effectively reduce glare, but also improve the efficiency of light utilization and provide a more comfortable lighting experience.
