The Alrouf Triton and QH Series are integrated solar LED street lights designed for roads and outdoor locations with limited or unavailable grid power. Triton offers higher luminous efficiency, flexible beam distributions and wattages from 30W to 150W, while QH provides higher maximum output, IK09 impact resistance and models ranging from 60W to 250W.
Both series combine the LED luminaire, solar panel, LiFePO4 battery and smart lighting controller in a self-contained system. However, their power ranges, optical options, environmental ratings, control modes and recommended applications differ.
This comparison explains those differences and helps consultants, contractors, municipalities and project owners identify the most suitable series for their lighting requirements.
The main difference is that Triton prioritizes efficiency and optical flexibility, while QH prioritizes higher output, modular construction and greater impact resistance.
Triton delivers 195 lumens per watt and is available from 30W to 150W. It is particularly suitable when a project needs lower wattages, multiple beam distributions or flexible lighting-control profiles.
QH delivers 190 lumens per watt and covers a wider high-power range from 60W to 250W. Its strongest model produces 47,500 lumens, making the series suitable for projects that require higher total output, taller poles or broader installation spacing.
Neither series is universally better. The right choice depends on the road dimensions, pole height, required illuminance, installation spacing, solar conditions and desired operating profile.
The Alrouf Triton Series is an off-grid integrated solar street light available in eight configurations from 30W to 150W. It combines Philips Lumileds LEDs, a monocrystalline solar panel, a LiFePO4 battery and an MPPT controller.
Triton delivers a high luminous efficiency of 195 lm/W. Its outputs range from 5,850 lumens for the 30W model to 29,250 lumens for the 150W model.
The 120W and 150W configurations use extendable solar panels. This design increases the available solar collection area for demanding applications that require higher power, longer operating hours or improved charging performance during limited sunlight.
Triton also provides multiple light distributions, including 60×100°, 70×135°, 75×150°, 80×150°, 110° and 150°. This optical flexibility allows lighting designers to select a distribution that matches the width and geometry of the intended area.
The series is protected to IP66 and IK08 and is specified for operation between −30°C and +50°C. A five-year warranty is stated in the Triton product catalog.
The Alrouf QH Series is a modular integrated solar LED street light available in seven configurations from 60W to 250W. It combines Bridgelux 5050 LED chips, monocrystalline solar panels, LiFePO4 batteries and microwave-sensor control.
QH delivers 190 lm/W, with outputs starting at 11,400 lumens for the 60W model and reaching 47,500 lumens for the 250W model.
The series uses modular construction with waterproof connectors to support easier assembly and maintenance. Its LED module can be adjusted upward or downward by 15 degrees, helping installers refine the light direction according to site conditions.
All QH configurations use a Type II beam distribution and offer colour temperatures of 3000K, 4000K, 5000K and 6500K. The series is rated IP66 and IK09, providing greater stated impact resistance than Triton.
The QH catalog also provides installation-height and pole-spacing recommendations for each model. Depending on wattage, installation heights range from 6 to 12 metres, while recommended spacing ranges from 20 to 40 metres.

The specifications in this table describe the general series. Battery capacity, solar-panel rating, dimensions and output vary by model.
Triton produces approximately 2.6% more lumens at equivalent wattages because it delivers 195 lm/W compared with QH’s 190 lm/W.
| Wattage | Triton output | QH output |
|---|---|---|
| 60W | 11,700 lm | 11,400 lm |
| 80W | 15,600 lm | 15,200 lm |
| 120W | 23,400 lm | 22,800 lm |
| 150W | 29,250 lm | 28,500 lm |
This gives Triton a small efficiency advantage when comparing models of the same nominal wattage. Higher efficiency can help maximise the light generated from the energy stored in the battery.
QH, however, provides the greater maximum output because its range continues beyond 150W. The 200W QH produces 38,000 lumens, while the 250W model produces 47,500 lumens.
Therefore, Triton has the efficiency advantage at matching wattages, but QH has the overall output advantage at the top of its range.
Triton is available in 30W, 40W, 50W, 60W, 80W, 90W, 120W and 150W configurations. QH is available in 60W, 80W, 100W, 120W, 150W, 200W and 250W configurations.
Triton is the only option of the two for projects requiring 30W, 40W or 50W luminaires. These lower outputs may be suitable for pathways, sidewalks, gates, private roads or other areas where extremely high illumination is unnecessary.
QH offers 100W, 200W and 250W options that are not included in the Triton range. These configurations expand the available selection for higher-output road and area-lighting applications.
Wattage alone should not determine the final model. A lighting calculation should also consider the delivered lumens, beam distribution, pole height, spacing, road width and required lighting level.
Both Triton and QH carry an IP66 rating. This means their enclosures are designed to prevent dust ingress and resist powerful water jets, supporting outdoor use in demanding environments.
The difference appears in their impact ratings. Triton is rated IK08, while QH is rated IK09. QH therefore provides the higher stated level of mechanical impact resistance.
Their operating-temperature ranges also differ:
Triton extends five degrees lower, which may make it more suitable for exceptionally cold environments. QH extends fifteen degrees higher and may therefore be considered for locations exposed to very high ambient temperatures.
Actual suitability should still be verified against the expected site temperature, installation position and project requirements.
Triton provides a broader documented selection of controller profiles, including constant output, dusk-to-dawn operation, motion-sensor control, five-stage programming and hybrid MPPT controller modes.
In motion-sensor mode, for example, the luminaire can operate at reduced brightness and increase to full output when movement is detected. After the area becomes inactive, it returns to the programmed lower level.
The five-stage option allows different brightness levels to be programmed throughout the night. This helps balance illumination requirements with the battery’s available energy.
QH uses timer control, microwave sensing and mixed-mode operation. One documented timer profile provides three hours at 100% brightness, two hours at 80% and seven hours at 25%, creating a total programmed operating period of 12 hours.
Its sensor profile can provide full brightness when people are detected and reduce the light to 30% after 30 seconds without detection.
The correct operating profile should be selected according to nighttime activity, safety requirements and the required battery autonomy.
Triton may be the stronger choice when the project requires:
The catalog identifies applications including roads, pathways, sidewalks, private roads, farms, campuses, parks, railway yards, docks, remote areas, security perimeters, gates and jogging paths.
Its broader optical selection can be valuable when the lighting designer needs to adapt the distribution to different road widths or site layouts.
QH may be the stronger choice when the project requires:
The 60W and 80W models are intended for installation heights from 6 to 9 metres. The 100W and 120W models cover approximately 9 to 11 metres, while the 150W, 200W and 250W models are specified for heights up to 12 metres.
These values are preliminary product recommendations. Final heights and spacing should be validated through a photometric study.
Selecting an integrated solar street light requires more than choosing a wattage. The project team should provide the following information:
Alrouf can use this information to recommend a model, optical distribution, controller profile, pole arrangement and solar configuration.
For road, municipal or industrial projects, a photometric simulation should be completed before the final quantity and model are approved.
Yes. Both are integrated systems that combine the LED luminaire, solar panel, LiFePO4 battery and lighting controller into a self-contained solar-lighting solution.
Triton is more efficient at 195 lm/W, compared with 190 lm/W for QH. At the same wattage, Triton consequently delivers approximately 2.6% more lumens.
QH produces the highest overall output. Its 250W model delivers 47,500 lumens, while the highest-output Triton model is 150W and delivers 29,250 lumens.
Triton includes 30W, 40W and 50W options that may suit smaller roads, pathways and lower-output applications. The final mounting height must be confirmed through lighting calculations because the Triton catalog does not publish model-specific height recommendations.
QH has the higher published maximum operating temperature at +65°C. Triton is specified up to +50°C. Site conditions and project requirements should be checked before final selection.
Yes. Both series support automatic or programmed nighttime operation. Triton offers dusk-to-dawn and several MPPT controller modes, while QH provides timer, microwave-sensor and mixed-mode operation.
The cost depends on wattage, battery capacity, solar-panel size, pole requirements, control mode, project quantity and installation conditions. A project-specific quotation is more accurate than selecting a product based only on nominal wattage.
A fully off-grid solar street light generally does not require trenching for electrical cables or connection to the utility grid. This can simplify installation in remote areas or locations where grid extension is difficult.
Choose Triton when efficiency, lower-wattage availability, optical flexibility, cold-temperature operation and a documented five-year warranty are the main priorities.
Choose QH when the project needs higher maximum output, IK09 protection, adjustable LED modules, higher published operating temperatures or installation guidance for poles up to 12 metres.
The final selection should be based on lighting requirements rather than wattage alone. Road dimensions, pole height, spacing, required illuminance, nighttime operating profile and local solar conditions all affect performance.
