More and more deck builders and fence contractors are choosing solar post cap lights for their projects. These lights not only shorten project lead times but also eliminate safety issues associated with AC power wires.

However, are you aware of the potential disadvantages of solar post cap lights? At Luxdeckin, we address these common issues to provide superior solutions.

Common Disadvantages of Solar Post Cap Lights and Luxdeckin’s Solutions

1. Battery Life

Many solar post cap lights sold at major retailers use Ni-Cd batteries, which contain poisonous cadmium and typically last only 1-2 years. At Luxdeckin, we use environmentally friendly Ni-Mh batteries for lower brightness requirements. For higher brightness and longer lifespan, we offer LiFePo4 and NCM lithium batteries.

2. Low-Quality Materials

Cheap plastics like PET or PP, commonly used in hot-selling solar post caps, degrade quickly under UV light, leading to cracks and discoloration within a year. Luxdeckin uses durable ABS and UV-resistant materials, with PC material for lampshades, ensuring a lifespan of 3-5 years.

3. Incorrect Dimensions

Many solar post caps on the market have incorrect dimensions, making them difficult to fit properly on wood, vinyl, or metal posts. Luxdeckin has developed precise installation bases to match various post types, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your projects.

4. Lower Brightness

Some solar post cap lights offer insufficient brightness, typically only 3-5 lumens. For effective lighting, we recommend at least 10-15 lumens. Luxdeckin achieves this by using higher system voltages (3.2V and 3.7V) and adding reflector lenses to the LEDs.

5. Maintenance

Most solar post cap lights need to be replaced after a year when the battery dies. Luxdeckin designs easy-to-replace battery compartments, doubling the service life of our lights.
