Now that spring sprung, turn your attention to your outdoor lighting. While there are many options to choose from, solar-powered lights offer a simple solution to most night-time dilemmas.
How they work
Outdoor solar lighting is unique because it runs exclusively on solar energy, converting sunlight into electricity. Use a small photovoltaic panel, each light is able to absorb direct sunlight throughout the day, charging its solar cell and energizing its battery in the process. When night falls, these lights will automatically turn on and remain lit anywhere from 8 to 10 hours.
Since solar-powered lights only work as long as their solar cells receive sunlight, you must place these lights in an area that receives a lot of direct sunlight during the day. Place them away from tall trees, shrubs or anything else that may interfere with their exposure to direct sunlight.
How you will benefit
