Be it for security lighting, utility lighting, or simply decoration, solar LED lighting has become increasingly popular. This is due to several factors including: durability, bulb life, and cost efficiency. LED bulbs have been touted as putting out a bright light for very little energy input. This is extremely beneficial for those who wish to use solar LED lighting.
Solar LED lighting uses several different components in order to function. There is the solar panel, the battery, and the bulb. During the day, the solar panel collects sunlight. That is why it is important to place solar LED lights somewhere where they will receive direct sunlight. The longer they are in the sun, the better. The next most important part of a solar LED light is the battery. Some of these are common and can easily be replaced, but some are slightly more obscure and can therefore be costly to replace. These are what hold the charge that is accumulated by the solar panel. The bulb is the icing on the cake when it comes to these lights.
Most solar lights use incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. These consume a lot of power and thus drain the batteries quickly. This means that standard solar lights only last for a few hours after it becomes dark. Since LED bulbs use very little power, they drain the batteries very slowly. Therefore, solar LED lights can last 10 hours or more.
There are many styles of solar lighting that can be used. They are primarily for outside lighting. However, there are some that can be used for indoor lights. For example, there are some LED “candles” that charge the day and are ready for use at night. This can be somewhat impractical since one must remember to place the lights in an area where they can receive direct sunlight every day. Most solar lights are placed in strategic locations outside where they can charge for the majority of the day. Some of these lights are used for security purposes. They turn on automatically when motion is detected and stay lit for a certain amount of time. Another use is for utility or safety purposes.
There are solar LED lights that are specially designed for use with grills, driveways, decks, pools, and walkways. These are to help prevent any accidents from happening. Furthermore, some, such as what is used for pools and decks can also be used to set the mood for anyone who spends time there when it is dark. One of the most popular uses for solar LED is that of walkway lighting. These lights come in several styles such as ones that stand on posts and lights that are built into flat stones.
Solar LED lights are becoming increasingly mainstream since they are both easy to use and incredibly cost efficient. There are many styles to choose from in order to fit several needed purposes.
