Alrouf Triton vs QH Series: Which Solar Street Light Fits Your Project?

Choose Triton if your project needs a 30W–50W model or a choice of optical distributions. Evaluate QH if it needs more than 150W, a higher maximum light output, or IK09 impact resistance. Both are integrated solar street light series with solar panels, LiFePO4 batteries, LED luminaires and lighting controllers.

The best choice still depends on the required light levels, road or area layout, pole arrangement, nightly operating schedule and available sunlight. This guide compares the published specifications so you can shortlist a series before a project-specific lighting assessment.

When Should You Consider Triton?

The Alrouf Triton Series offers eight models from 30W to 150W. Its 30W, 40W and 50W options provide lower-output choices that are not available in the QH range. They may be worth evaluating for pathways, private roads, gates or other areas with suitable lighting requirements.

Triton’s stated efficacy is 195 lm/W. It also offers several optical distributions, allowing a lighting designer to evaluate how light is directed across different site layouts. Its 120W and 150W models have extendable solar panels; expected charging performance must still be assessed for the installation location.

The series has IP66 protection, IK08 impact resistance, a specified operating range of −30°C to +50°C, and a published five-year warranty. Available lighting modes depend on the controller configuration supplied with the selected model.

When Should You Consider QH?

The Alrouf QH Series offers seven models from 60W to 250W. It is the option to evaluate when the project calls for a 200W or 250W integrated luminaire. The 250W model has the highest stated output in this comparison at 47,500 lumens.

QH uses a Type II light distribution, and its LED modules can be adjusted up or down by 15°. The series has IP66 protection and IK09 impact resistance. Its published operating-temperature range is −25°C to +65°C.

The QH catalogue also provides preliminary mounting-height and pole-spacing recommendations by model. These are useful starting points, but the final layout should be checked against the project’s required light levels and uniformity.

Which Series Produces More Light at the Same Wattage?

At the four wattages shared by both series, Triton has slightly higher stated lumen output:

PowerTriton outputQH output
60W11,700 lm11,400 lm
80W15,600 lm15,200 lm
120W23,400 lm22,800 lm
150W29,250 lm28,500 lm

This reflects Triton’s stated efficacy of 195 lm/W, compared with 190 lm/W for QH. QH provides the higher maximum output because its range extends to 200W and 250W.

These figures do not, by themselves, show which light will perform better on a particular road. Optical distribution, mounting height, spacing and the required illumination must also be considered. For the wider selection process, see our guide to choosing solar street lights for roads.

How Do Protection and Controls Compare?

Both series are rated IP66. QH has the higher published impact rating at IK09, compared with IK08 for Triton. QH also has the higher published maximum operating temperature, while Triton has the lower published minimum temperature. Check the expected conditions at the installation site against the rating of the selected model.

Both ranges describe automatic and programmed lighting options. Triton’s product information includes dusk-to-dawn, motion-sensor and staged dimming controller options. QH documentation describes timer, microwave-sensor and mixed modes. Confirm the controller and available modes for the exact configuration quoted rather than assuming every mode is supplied with every model.

This table narrows the options; it does not replace a lighting design. A low-wattage model is not automatically suitable for a low pole, and a high-wattage model is not automatically suitable for a wide road.

What Information Is Needed for a Final Recommendation?

To select a model and estimate quantities, provide:

  • Project location and application
  • Road or area width and layout
  • Required light level and uniformity, if specified
  • Proposed pole height, spacing and arrangement
  • Required nightly operating hours
  • Expected vehicle or pedestrian activity
  • Shading and site conditions
  • Required operation during low-sunlight periods
  • Estimated quantity and any applicable project specifications

A project-specific lighting calculation can then assess the model, optical distribution and pole arrangement. The solar panel, battery and operating schedule should also be reviewed against the site’s available sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Triton or QH more efficient?

Triton has the higher stated luminous efficacy: 195 lm/W, compared with 190 lm/W for QH. The best option for a project also depends on where the light is directed and whether the complete system can meet the required operating schedule.

Which series has the highest lumen output?

QH has the highest-output model in these ranges. Its 250W version is stated at 47,500 lumens; the highest-output Triton model is 150W at 29,250 lumens.

Can either series work without a grid connection?

Both series offer integrated solar lighting for off-grid applications. Confirm the configuration and installation requirements in the project quotation.

How long will the light operate during cloudy weather?

Operation depends on stored battery energy, available sunlight, model selection and programmed brightness. The QH catalogue publishes a cloudy-weather support figure, but the expected autonomy should be calculated for your site and operating schedule.

How much does a Triton or QH installation cost?

Cost depends on the selected model, quantity, poles, installation conditions and project requirements. Request a quotation using the site details and required lighting performance rather than comparing wattage alone.

Request a Solar Street Lighting Recommendation

Triton offers lower-wattage choices and multiple optical distributions. QH extends to higher outputs and has a higher published impact rating and maximum operating temperature. The right selection is the one that meets your project’s lighting and energy requirements.
