Overview of Solar-Powered Road Markers

Solar road studs are effective tools for improving safety at regional rail crossings and intersections, offering guidance and hazard warnings to drivers in low visibility conditions such as darkness and bad weather. Here are the detailed features:

  • Body Material: Made from high-pressure casting aluminum alloy, ensuring durability and strength.
  • Power Supply: Equipped with a mono-crystalline solar panel, providing a power output of 2.5V/0.2W for efficient energy conversion and sustainability.
  • Size: Dimensions are L123W133H22mm, with an additional height of 55mm, ensuring visibility while remaining compact.
  • LED Colors: Available in red, yellow, green, and blue to cater to various signaling needs and enhance visibility.
  • Life Span: Designed to last more than 3 years, ensuring long-term functionality and reliability.

Description

Introduction to Solar Road Studs: Solar road studs, also known as cat eyes, are innovative devices that significantly enhance road safety. They are particularly effective at regional rail crossings, intersections, and other critical areas by providing guidance and hazard warnings, especially under poor visibility conditions such as darkness or bad weather. These devices harness solar energy, thereby reducing environmental impacts and operational costs.

Manufacturing Excellence: With over 15 years of manufacturing experience, our solar-powered cat eyes are competitively priced and recognized globally for their quality and durability. We offer a wide range of cat eye road markers to meet diverse requirements in the traffic road safety market.

Working Principle:

  • Daytime: Solar panels on the studs absorb sunlight, converting it into electrical energy, which is then stored in the built-in batteries or capacitors.
  • Nighttime or Poor Weather Conditions: The stored electrical energy is automatically converted into light energy through LEDs, controlled by photoelectric switches. This process starts automatically at dusk or during inclement weather, providing bright, flashing lights that effectively alert drivers.

Installation Guide for Raised Solar Road Stud:

  1. Marking and Drilling: Identify and mark the placement spots. Using a core drill, create holes of 35mm in diameter and 55mm in depth.
  2. Cleaning: Remove all debris from the drilled holes.
  3. Applying Epoxy: Pour epoxy into the holes as per the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the holes are straight and adequately sized for the epoxy to surround the stud shaft.
  4. Setting the Stud: Place the solar stud into the hole, adjusting the angle for optimal visibility. Ensure that the epoxy adheres evenly and that the bottom of the stud is in firm contact with the installation surface, preventing any surface float.
  5. Curing: Allow the epoxy to cure for 6-8 hours before removing any installation barriers.

Recommended Spacing:

  • Highways and Expressways: 5-6 meters (7-8 yards)
  • Dangerous Entrances and Exits: 2-3 meters (4-5 yards)
  • Hospital and Parking Lot Access/Exits: 0.5-2 meters (0.5-3 yards) Note: Adjust the spacing based on specific site conditions and requirements.
