Solar road studs are road safety devices that use solar power to achieve active illumination and dynamic warning functions. They consist of a housing, solar panels, LEDs, and control components, and are mainly used to mark road outlines or hazardous road sections, often used in conjunction with road markings.

Solar road studs achieve self-powering through photoelectric conversion and energy storage technology: During the day, solar panels absorb light energy and convert it into electrical energy, which is stored in nickel-metal hydride or lithium batteries; at night, LEDs are automatically activated by a light-controlled switch, with operating modes including constant brightness or flashing. Typical luminous intensity exceeds 650 mcd/lux, and the visibility distance is over 500 meters.
The active illumination and dynamic warning functions of solar-powered road studs significantly improve road safety, especially in low-visibility environments.
