Outdoor Solar Lighting

If you have lights outdoors, why not let the sun power them?

Outdoor Solar Lighting, like all Solar Power, is clean, natural and sustainable. A solar energy home can help you reduce your energy usage which helps reduce pollution. How? By using Solar Energy, we put less of a strain on the power plants that cause pollution.

How Outdoor Solar Lighting Works

Sunlight is collected and stored in a battery so when you need the light, it’s ready to go. Some can even collect sunlight on cloudy days. And they work with no wires.

A Solar Light has two parts:
1. the light itself and
2. the solar panel.

The solar panel collects the energy so it must be in the sun to charge the battery.

Some units have the light and the panel together in one piece and some units separate the light and panel. This allows you to put the light where you want it, even in a spot that does not receive much sunlight, as long as the panel is in the sun.

Note: There is usually a limited distance you can separate the light from the panel. Some lights allow a larger distance between the two.

Where To Use Outdoor Solar Lighting

Because they work without wires, they can be especially useful in hard to reach or tight spots. They come in many decorative and functional styles that work great for:

Security Lighting: Flood Lights, Porch Lights, Motion Sensored Lights, Pathway Lights, Driveway Lighting

Lighting In And Around The Pool

Decorative Lighting: Garden and Pathway Lights

Holiday Lighting: Yes, you can even get Solar Christmas lights to save you money during the holidays.

Solar lights are sometimes softer that non solar. For most people, the softer light is just fine and sometimes better. Check product descriptions carefully if you're looking for a really bright light.

Make All Your Lights Energy Efficient
