Henan traffic light manufacturer talks about the materials and maintenance of traffic lights
In fact, there are many factors that affect the lifespan of traffic lights, such as shell materials and daily maintenance. This article will introduce the shell materials of traffic lights, which can be mainly divided into the following four categories in China.

1. PC material
This mold has low cost, is lightweight, and is convenient for high-altitude operations. It is one of the cheaper materials with good safety, requiring no additional lightning protection measures. The mold is easy to form, assemble, and install, with good waterproof and dustproof effects. If anti-ultraviolet materials are added to the PC shell, it can extend its lifespan.
2. Die-cast aluminum material
It is not easy to rust and has good weather resistance among several materials. The mold can be formed in one go, making assembly and installation very convenient. Its lifespan is the longest among the four materials, with better waterproof and dustproof effects. However, the cost of the mold is high, so proper lightning protection measures should be taken. Due to its heavier weight, it is not convenient for high-altitude operations.
3. Profile aluminum material
The mold cost is low, and its weight is between die-cast aluminum and PC material. Its weather resistance is better than that of PC material but lower than that of die-cast aluminum. The profile can be cut freely, and changes in shape and size are simple, making it suitable for frame traffic lights. The corners of aluminum profiles need to be connected with PC material, making assembly inconvenient due to multiple joints, and its waterproofing is not as good as the first two.
4. Sheet metal materials
No mold opening is required, which can meet the customization requirements of traffic lights; however, the cost is high, the spraying process is poor, it rusts easily, requires lightning protection measures, and waterproofing and dustproofing are difficult.
In summary, the above four shell materials each have their advantages. Users can choose the shell material for traffic lights according to their needs; of course, they can also consult our company.
Henan traffic light manufacturer: Let's take a look at the maintenance of traffic lights.
Here I remind everyone not to neglect inspection and maintenance after installation:
1. Do the components of solar traffic lights meet specifications? If the specifications do not meet standards, internal wiring may short-circuit or even lead to more serious issues. Therefore, it is essential to check whether all components meet specifications and ensure that the position of the lamp post is appropriate.
2. Is the angle and tilt of the solar traffic light battery component installed correctly? It should be noted that there should not be too many obvious obstacles between these two parts, and its lamp pole needs to be at a vertical angle to the ground so that the solar traffic light does not easily tilt. Additionally, all settings in the controller need to meet requirements; otherwise, it may lose control and exhibit abnormal phenomena such as lights not flashing or flickering.
3. The lamp pole is a very important part of the entire traffic light system; therefore, it must be installed very securely so that its brightness remains relatively balanced. Moreover, its surface must not have any damage.
4. Since solar traffic lights are relatively cost-effective items, they are likely to be stolen or maliciously damaged by others; thus, anti-theft measures also need to be taken to extend their lifespan.
The Henan traffic light manufacturer will not elaborate further today; I hope the above introduction has been helpful to everyone. If you need customized traffic lights, please contact our manufacturer.
