Outdoor rattan lamps have become a popular choice for outdoor decoration and lighting due to their natural and environmentally friendly materials and soft light and shadow effects. However, the quality of rattan lamps is directly related to their durability and user experience.
As a professional rattan lamp manufacturer, we will analyze how to test the quality of outdoor rattan lamps from multiple angles to help consumers and purchasers choose truly durable and beautiful outdoor rattan lamps.
1. Material quality: the core element of rattan lamps
1.1 Selection of rattan materials
The main material of rattan lamps is rattan, and the quality of rattan directly affects the service life and visual effect of the lamps. High-quality outdoor rattan lamps should use natural and tough rattan, which is not easy to break and deform. To ensure durability, high-quality rattan is usually screened and pre-treated to enhance wind resistance, moisture resistance and other properties.
Natural rattan: High-quality rattan lamps are generally woven with natural rattan. The treated natural rattan can withstand outdoor climate changes and is not easy to mold, discolor or break.
Synthetic rattan: In environments with high humidity, synthetic rattan (such as PE rattan) is also commonly used in outdoor lamps because it is more resistant to UV rays, water and corrosion, and is one of the more durable options.
1.2 Durability of surface treatment
The surface treatment of rattan lamps directly affects their outdoor service life. In order to ensure that the lamps do not fade or damage in the sun and rain, the surface of the material is usually treated with UV protection, waterproof and mildew resistance.
Anti-UV coating: When inspecting rattan lamps, you should confirm whether there is an anti-UV coating on the surface, which can prevent the rattan from becoming brittle and fading under strong sunlight.
Waterproof and mildew-proof treatment: High-quality rattan lamps will add a layer of waterproof coating after weaving to prevent rainwater penetration and mildew growth.
2. Weaving process: affects the stability of the lamp structure
2.1 Tightness and uniformity of weaving
The quality of the weaving process directly determines the appearance and structural stability of the lamp. High-quality rattan lamps are woven tightly and evenly to avoid loose or irregular gaps. Such weaving can effectively reduce friction damage to the rattan and extend the life of the lamp.
Tight weaving: When inspecting lamps, observe the tightness of the weaving and the spacing between the rattans to ensure that there are no loose areas. Tightly woven lamps are not only beautiful, but also better maintain structural stability.
Uniform texture: The texture of high-quality rattan lamps should be uniform, and the thickness and weaving techniques of the rattan should be consistent. The uniform texture allows the lamp to produce a more beautiful light and shadow effect after lighting.
2.2 Reinforcement of weaving interface
During the weaving process of rattan lamps, the interface is usually the most fragile and easily loosened or fallen off due to external forces. High-quality rattan lamps will have their interfaces reinforced, such as using special knots, glue or nails to ensure that the lamps remain structurally intact after long-term use.
Reinforcement technology: Check the reinforcement of the interface to ensure that the connection parts have been reasonably reinforced and can withstand daily movement and climate impacts.
Invisible seams: The seams of high-quality rattan lamps are delicately concealed to avoid the rattan being exposed abruptly, while ensuring the overall weaving texture is consistent.
3. Lighting function: safety and practicality of light sources and accessories
3.1 Quality of waterproof lighting components
Outdoor rattan lighting needs to be used in various environments, and the electrical components of the lighting must have high standards of waterproofness. High-quality outdoor rattan lights are usually equipped with electrical components that meet IP65 and above waterproof ratings, ensuring safe use in rainy or humid environments.
Waterproof light source: When purchasing rattan lights, confirm whether the light uses a waterproof light source. Waterproof lamp heads and bulbs ensure safety while preventing short circuits or damage to the internal circuit caused by rain or moisture.
Sealing performance: Check the sealing structure of the light, such as whether the connection between the lampshade and the lamp body is tight. The lampshade of high-quality rattan lights is usually waterproof to ensure that the light is not damaged in bad weather.
3.2 Brightness and color temperature of light source
The light source of the lamp should not only meet the basic lighting needs, but also be suitable for the use characteristics of the outdoor environment. The light of rattan lamps is generally soft, avoiding glaring direct light. Choosing a light source with appropriate brightness and color temperature can enhance the decorative effect of rattan lamps.
Warm light source: The best color temperature of most rattan lamps is between 2700K-3000K, showing soft warm tones, which helps to create a warm outdoor atmosphere.
Anti-glare design: High-quality rattan lamps control light through reasonable weaving gaps, allowing the light to be softly sprinkled on the ground or wall, forming a beautiful light and shadow effect, and avoiding direct light.
3.3 Durability and safety of accessories
The quality of accessories is directly related to the service life and safety of the lamp. Accessories of outdoor rattan lamps should be corrosion-resistant and anti-aging to adapt to the changing outdoor environment. Common accessories include metal hooks, chains and wires, etc., which should be made of high-quality materials and anti-corrosion treatment.
Anti-corrosion materials: Accessories such as hooks, chains and brackets are usually made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, which have excellent corrosion resistance and avoid the influence of rain or moisture.
Weather-resistant wires: The wires of outdoor lamps should be made of weather-resistant materials and equipped with protective covers to ensure safety and stability under extreme weather conditions.

4.1 Anti-ultraviolet test
Outdoor lamps are exposed to sunlight all year round, and ultraviolet rays will cause the rattan to fade and age. Therefore, top rattan lamps need to undergo anti-ultraviolet tests. Through ultraviolet irradiation experiments, the anti-aging ability of lamps under sunlight can be tested.
Test indicators: Check the fading of rattan under ultraviolet rays and whether the surface has aging, cracks, etc. Rattan lamps that pass the anti-ultraviolet test can still maintain color and strength under long-term sunlight exposure.
4.2 Waterproof and moisture-proof test
Waterproofness is one of the important indicators of outdoor rattan lamps. The waterproof performance and durability of the lamps are tested by placing them in a simulated rainy environment. Lamps with excellent waterproof performance will not leak water or have electrical problems in wet weather.
Test method: In the laboratory, by simulating a rainy environment, check whether the lamps have water ingress inside to ensure that the lamps can be used normally in rainy seasons and the waterproof level reaches at least IP65 standard.
4.3 Wind stability test
Outdoor rattan lamps need to withstand the invasion of wind and rain, so they will undergo wind stability tests before leaving the factory to ensure that they will not be easily damaged or deformed in windy weather. This test can understand the wind resistance and fixing firmness of the lamps.
Wind resistance test: Test the rattan lamps in a simulated windy environment to check their stability. Especially for hanging lamps, they can still maintain their original shape in strong winds, and the rattan will not break or deform.
5. Manufacturer's quality assurance and service support
