There are some things to remember when using and installing outdoor solar lighting. You should buy ones that are made from heavy-duty materials and will not rust so they can withstand harsh weather conditions. You should also store your lighting indoors during the winter months. Make sure to locate them somewhere they can receive a lot of sunlight during the day to help them work properly at night. You also want to make sure to buy the ones that have ultra-bright LED. LED (light emitting diodes) will use little energy and this is very important because your solar powered lights will supply power by Ni-Cad or NiMH rechargeable batteries. The solar cells use sunlight during the day to charge the batteries so that they can operate during the night. The less power the solar power lights gets the longer they will work.
LED’s outlast regular lights and have a lifespan of 100,000 hours when used properly. You may never need to replace them for the life of your lights. They are tough and enduring compared to fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs. They have no moving parts like other electronic components. This lighting is environment friendly and safe because they contain no mercury or other toxic chemicals. It may seem difficult with so many choices but keep these tips in mind once you have decided on style and design.
You can choose from floating solar lights, solar step lights and solar accent lights from our outdoor solar lighting project. If you have objects that contain and use water, these are perfect. You can use them in fountains, pools, and ponds. Some of them have ground stakes and can be used for the garden too. They are versatile, easy and affordable. Solar step lights can be used to light up dark areas around your deck or backyard. They provide a softer light that can make it easier to walk through and around these areas. Solar accent lights can highlight a tree, plant or statute in your landscaping. They are use for mainly illumination purposes in your garden or surrounding the home.
Now that you have a general idea of what to look for, your outdoor solar lighting project can be a success. You no longer have to hire an electrician to install lighting in areas that you thought couldn’t be illuminated. You have saved yourself hundreds of dollars and you are helping the environment as well.
