COMPAQ:
The ones on 3rd mainland don pass 6 montha ba. And so far I have only seen 2 that stopped working. And it could be that the sensor had not switched it on.

If they install quality and ensure the vendor guarantees it from fault for say 5 years, then we should be fine.

And isn't that abnormal?

We can't be launching same project with every administation

Solar street light can last years when properly placed.

As do you really understand what is the Lagos State is doing before you comment ? The government is not in totally sense mounting new street light poles but he is repairing and maintaining the existing ones ..though their might be mounting of new poles where it is needed but beyond all these ...there iis maintenance of the existing ones ...

Reminds me when they came complaining about no safety helmets when someone was constructing shops and they themselves were not wearing any.

GloriousGbola:
hmm

lagos state will storm construction site with safety commission, harass the hell out of contractors for noon compliance and then they will put people on their own site with slippers





the whole point of solar powered lights is that 90% of the challenges are eliminated
for your regular floodlights urchins and hustlers will steal the power supply cable
they also require generator when there is no nepa which means variable running cost

but your solar powered floodlight is largely a one off cost - you just have to replace the batteries every 2 to 5 years
most important thing - buy high quality solar floodlights
and you have to periodically clean the solar panel. but the risk of vandalization and abuse is significantly reduced

i say this as a person who has seen people ta[p power from lighting poles to charge phones

My thoughts exactly some of our self help ones are okay about 4 years on.

At state level it should be very good A grade quality
