Solar Lights – What Are They and Why Do We Need Them?
Why Solar Power?
Solar lights can be addictive. Conventional electrical power needs wire, plugs, sockets and costs us money. it also uses our natural resources. Because of this, an alternative source of power had to be found. after much research, the use of the suns natural power was found to be a source of energy for light. Solar energy is inexpensive. other than your outlay at time of purchase, it’s basically free because it comes from the sun.
How it Works:
Simple, without getting too technical, it’s just sun power. In other words, the sunshine, pure and simple. The sun energized a solar panel which stores the suns energy. even with the most simple solar lights, this energy produces light for up to 10 hours after dark. of course, if it is cloudy, that can reduce the power stored and the lights won’t be as bright, or last as long that night. Solving the problem of cloudy days vs. storing the suns energy is something that is being researched at this time.
What are The Benefits to you?
One of the most important aspects of using solar lights, is that they are not dependant on conventional electrical supply. they can be used anywhere the sun shines. Great for remote areas. some of the new technology will allow you to place the actual light in the shade because the solar panel, attached by a wire, can be placed in direct sunlight. even though the light itself is in the shade, it will light up at night they are low cost and with practically no maintenance. Saves energy, natural resources and money. Rechargeable batteries last up to two years. LED bulbs last up to 100,000 hours.
Uses and Types of Products:
With the latest models and products available, you can go from the practical and traditional (shed lights, sensor lights, lights for pathways and deck) to the whimsical and magical (gnomes, dogs with solar light lanterns, butterflies, floating and/or blinking lights for pool or pond). Highlight special garden areas, landscaping or trees. create a path for an evening stroll. Have a fun swim with blinking pool lights. Make your surroundings more safe with solar sensor and spot lights. How nice to have sensor lights turn on automatically as you pull up your driveway at night. Never needing to worry if your electricity is working. The uses and ideas go as far as your imagination and your need. With solar lights, not only can you feel a sense of the magical, but know that you are conserving our planets resources and saving $$$ at the same time.
