Project Overview
A solar street lighting project in Malaysia called for bright, reliable lighting on main roads without trenching, grid connections, or monthly electricity costs.
The client needed a system that could reach arterial-road brightness from tall poles and keep performing in a hot, humid tropical climate.
SIGO New Energy recommended the GSHM Series Split Solar Powered LED Street Light, mounted on 8–12 meter high-mast poles. The split design separates the LED lamp head from the solar panel, so each part can do its own job. The lamp is angled for the best road coverage, while the panel sits on top of the pole to capture the most sunlight.

Why It Suits This Project
- High-efficiency LEDs: At 180–200 lm/W, the chips produce more light from every watt of stored solar energy.
- Bat-wing distribution: Light spreads wide along the road instead of pooling under the pole, which allows longer spacing between poles.
- Daylight-white output: 6000–6500K light improves visibility and helps drivers and pedestrians see clearly at night.
- IP66 protection: The fixture guards against dust and heavy tropical rain.
- Simple installation: The lamp fits a 60 mm light arm with screw fixation, and the solar panel mounts on the pole top with a support bracket.
Meeting Customer Requirements
The client's main question was simple: will it be bright enough for a main road? Our measured data gives a clear answer.
At a 10-meter mounting height, the GSHM light delivers more than 20 lux of central illuminance at an actual power of just 50–70W.
| Mounting Height | 51W | 61W | 71W |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 m | 20.4 lx | 24.0 lx | 27.5 lx |
| 9 m | 24.8 lx | 30.3 lx | 36.3 lx |
| 8 m | 31.0 lx | 36.2 lx | 42.6 lx |
Measured central illuminance of the GSHM solar street light at different mounting heights and operating power levels.
An average illuminance of 20 lux is the benchmark for Class I expressways and arterial roads under the CJJ 45-2015 urban road lighting design standard. That means the GSHM Series fully meets the client's requirements for main road lighting.
The light also reaches this level well below its 150W rated power. Running at 50–70W reduces the daily energy draw on the battery. This supports more stable lighting through cloudy days and puts less strain on components over time.
Recommended installation spacing: about 35 meters. This falls within the product's 28–40 meter guideline. It balances even road coverage with fewer poles per kilometer, which helps keep total project costs down.
Product Quality & Longevity
For municipal and commercial buyers, a solar street light is a long-term asset. Here is how we build the GSHM Series to last.
Automotive-Grade LiFePO₄ Batteries
Each system uses two brand-new, automotive-grade lithium iron phosphate battery packs with Grade A cells from Gotion, a first-tier battery brand. Capacity options are 102AH or 120AH.
The cells are rated for over 3,000 charge cycles, or more than 5 years of nightly operation. LiFePO₄ chemistry is also known for its thermal stability, a key safety advantage in hot climates.
Waterproof Independent Smart Controller
The controller is sealed and housed separately, which keeps the system stable and makes servicing easier.
Automatic day/night recognition and smart control switch the lights on at dusk and off at dawn, with no manual input.
Monocrystalline Solar Panels
Monocrystalline silicon delivers high conversion efficiency, so the panel captures more energy in the same space.
A thick, heavy-duty aluminum frame adds strength against wind and resists corrosion in humid, coastal conditions.
The result is a lighting system that cuts maintenance visits, avoids electricity bills, and delivers dependable performance year after year.
