Solar street lights are gradually becoming the mainstream choice in the field of urban lighting. As a green, environmentally friendly and energy-saving lighting equipment, solar street lights have attracted much attention. However, in order to ensure the quality and safety performance of solar street lights, it is very important to carry out CE certification.
1. Product performance analysis.
As an independent lighting device, the performance of solar street lights directly affects its effect and safety during use. Therefore, before applying for CE certification, the performance of solar street lights needs to be analyzed.
1.Luminous flux: The main function of solar street lights is lighting, so luminous flux is one of its important performance indicators. Measuring the luminous flux is mainly carried out by optical power measurement to evaluate the illumination effect of solar street lights.
2.Color temperature: The color temperature of solar street lights directly affects the comfort of lighting, and the detection of color temperature can be carried out by the spectrum analyzer.
3.Operating temperature: Solar street lights are used outdoors and need to be able to adapt to different weather conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to check its operating temperature to ensure that it can work properly and has good stability.
2. Testing items and standards.
According to the European regulatory requirements, solar street lamps need to carry out a series of testing items when applying for CE certification. The following are common tests:
1.Safety performance test: The safety performance of solar street lights is one of the important considerations. These include aspects such as electrical safety, protection classes and lightning protection.
2.Shock resistance test: Solar street lights need to be able to withstand all kinds of external shocks and vibrations when used outdoors. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out impact resistance tests.
3.Waterproof performance test: Since solar street lights often face various weather conditions, their waterproof performance directly affects their actual service life and safety. Therefore, water resistance testing is indispensable.
4.Optical performance test: The optical performance of solar street lights is the key to their lighting effect. Common test items are light scattering, beam angle, etc.
5.Electromagnetic compatibility testing: Solar street lights need to meet the requirements of electromagnetic radiation and electromagnetic induction to ensure that they can work properly with other electronic devices.
During the CE certification process, solar street lights need to comply with relevant standards and regulations. The following are common standards in Europe:
EN 60598-1:2008 (General requirements and tests for fixed lighting installations).
EN 60598-2-3:2019 (Special requirements for lighting fixtures – Independently installed street lights).
EN 61347-2-13:2015 (Performance requirements for self-ballasted electronic transformers used under AC or DC power supply).
EN 62493:2015 (Method for measuring optical radiation and permissible illuminance of lighting products).
