Although the electricity consumption for rural lighting may seem small, it accumulates over time. Reasonable use of electrical ready boards can effectively reduce energy consumption and save expenses. Master the following energy-saving tips to gather "small habits" into "big energy-saving".

1、 On demand allocation, precise power control

Adjust circuit allocation according to different regional needs. For example, connecting the lighting in low-frequency areas such as courtyards and warehouses to independent switches, and completely cutting off power when not needed at night; The high-frequency areas such as the living room and kitchen are controlled by separate circuits to avoid the waste of "one switch on, all lights on". Some rural households connect all the lighting fixtures in series in the same circuit, causing the switch to turn on and off the entire house at once, which is inconvenient to use and increases energy consumption. After branch transformation, ineffective lighting can be reduced by 20% to 30%.

2、 Cleverly using timing and intelligent power-saving

Install a timer switch or smart socket, and set the lighting period. For example, courtyard lights can be set to automatically turn on at sunset and turn off at 1am; The lighting in the chicken coop should be turned on and off at regular intervals according to the breeding needs to avoid the constant use of lights caused by human forgetting. A certain farmer has saved over 100 yuan in electricity bills per month and doubled the lifespan of lighting fixtures through timed control.

3、 Regular maintenance to reduce wear and tear

Aging and poor contact of the wiring inside the electrical ready board can lead to unstable voltage, heat generation, and power consumption. It is recommended to check the wiring terminals once a quarter and tighten loose screws; Clean the dust inside the box every year to prevent the insulation layer from aging. If flickering or decreased brightness is found in the lighting fixtures, it may be due to insufficient voltage or circuit overload. It is necessary to adjust the load or replace the thick wire diameter in a timely manner to avoid the additional energy consumption of "small horses pulling large vehicles".

4、 Choose the right lighting fixtures to reduce consumption at the source

Priority should be given to using LED lamps instead of incandescent lamps. Under the same brightness, LED consumes only 1/5 of the power of incandescent lamps and has a lifespan of over 20000 hours. The common high-power halogen lamps in rural areas (such as 100W) can be replaced with 15W-20W LED lamps, which can save 80% energy without reducing brightness.

Energy saving is no small matter, see the real chapter for details. From reasonable distribution to intelligent control, from regular maintenance to lamp upgrades, every small change in rural lighting electrical ready boards can reduce the burden on households and add greenery to the environment.
