Solar Yard Lights
If you are looking fo an easy way to bring
your landscape to life at night, you just might want to check out
investing in solar powered yard lights. They are easy to
inexpensive, easy to install, require basically no maintanence, look
cool and actually provide useful light!
These
lights are quite simple in design. They use energy from
the sun to charge a single AA Nicad battery. You want to know the
best part? Rather than using a timer, it utilizes a light sensor that
switches the LED on at dusk and then turns off in the morning - it's
all automatic! It's takes zero effort on your part.
Installation (if you can call it that) is
also a breeze since everything is self contained. This means no digging
trenches for wiring or installing switches, like some other landscaping lights require.
Just make sure you place these in a sunny area
so the batteries can completely recharge.
How Do They Stack Up?
The lights we have boast a 10 hour run time on a full charge. We tested one of the lights by making sure the battery was fully
charged then placing it in the basement. we were was a little skeptical
at first but the results were surprising! After 10 hours it was still
shining pretty bright!
While these aren't high intensity beams, they do offer good supplemental
lighting, especially when you come home at night!. Other than replacing the batteries when needed, they're basically
maintenance free. Overall, we have been very satisfied with our solar powered yard
lights.
