- Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tightened.
- Inspect for corrosion, cracks, or surface damage on lights and panels.
- Check the foundation for any signs of tilting or weakness.
2. Solar Panel Evaluation
- Confirm correct direction and optimal tilt based on location.
- Ensure panels are clean, dust-free, and securely mounted.
- Inspect cable routing for exposure or damage.
3. Battery System Check
- Verify battery type and correct installation.
- Check insulation, waterproofing, and proper ventilation.
- Test battery voltage and charge/discharge controller function.
4. LED Light Fixture Operation
- Confirm brightness and light distribution at night.
- Test automatic sensor and timer functions.
- Ensure consistent illumination throughout the night.
5. Wiring and Electrical Safety
- Inspect all cable connections and junction boxes.
- Check for exposed wires or overheating signs.
- Test voltage using a multimeter and verify surge protection.
6. Environmental and Safety Compliance
- Ensure the lighting does not obstruct paths or signage.

Battery fundamentals and basic terms
What is the electrochemistry of NiMH batteries?
Nickel-metal hydride batteries use Ni oxide as the positive electrode, hydrogen storage metal as the negative electrode, and alkaline solution (mainly KOH) as the electrolyte, when charging nickel-metal hydride batteries:
Positive reaction: Ni(OH)2 + OH- → NiOOH + H2O-e-
Negative reaction: M+H2O +e-→ MH+ OH-
Nickel-metal hydride battery discharge:
Positive pole reaction: NiOOH + H2O + e- → Ni(OH)2 + OH-
Negative reaction: MH+OH- → M+H2O+e-
Public Gardens and Landscape Lighting
