Solar Lighting - Make Your Garden “Green”
Many people are looking for ways to reduce their negative environmental impact these days. One way to save energy around your home is to install outdoor solar lighting. Not only will outdoor solar lights enhance the appearance of your home, you will save energy, reduce green house gas emissions and avoid the hassle of running wiring for your yard lighting. Some simple planning to match the right kind of outdoor solar lights to your needs is all it takes.
You may have had some experience with inexpensive outdoor solar lights in the past. Many of us remember these from about 20 years ago. They weren't very bright and did not last very long. You will be glad to know that advances in solar cell technology, improved batteries and the use of bright LEDs in place of standard light bulbs has made outdoor solar lighting extremely reliable. More expensive outdoor solar lights even feature an on/off switch so you can save a charge by turning the lights on only when they're needed such as special occasions.
There are 3 basic types of outdoor solar lighting.
Accent Lights- These solar garden lights have the dimmest LEDs and emit a soft light suitable for highlighting areas of your garden. They are not bright enough to light walkways or drive and should not be used as path lighting. They last the longest on a single charge.
Path Lighting- These outdoor solar lights are specifically designed to cast strong enough light to light a walkway or path. These lights came in a variety of mounting styles including stakes and hooks but they typically cast their light downwards. Higher quality solar lights for walkway lighting typically include an on/off switch.
Task Lights-These are the brightest outdoor solar lights. These lights are typically used for security and may include motion detector floodlights. They are also often used around a pool.
When placing your outdoor solar lighting, you'll need to consider how much sun the location gets. Your outdoor solar lights need direct sun during the day to properly charge their battery. This makes them ideal as walkway lighting since most walks are not strongly shaded by tall plants.
Installing outdoor solar lights is a wonderful way to save energy and make your garden more green. Today's outdoor solar lighting can be very bright and improved technology allows them to last through the night. When selecting your lights, you'll need to determine your needs and select from the 3 types of outdoor solar lights. Finally, make sure the area where you want to install your solar lights gets direct sun for most of the day.
