What is Solar Lighting?
Simply put, solar lighting is the safest and easiest kind of outdoor lighting to install. Each light fixture contains a scientifically designed solar collector panel that converts sunlight into electrical energy. This energy is stored in highly efficient rechargeable batteries used to light the fixture at night. No Wiring! Each solar light operates independently from others without the need for a transformer and wiring. This makes solar lighting especially suitable for use in remote areas and locations near water. Solar lights utilize the latest LED technology and provide sufficient light to mark entrances, accent walkways and steps, and to indicate the location of darkened obstacles at night. All solar lights require unobstructed sunlight during the day to recharge their batteries. With fully charged batteries, these lights will stay illuminated for up to 15 hours.
Solar lighting is any type of lighting that uses the radiation from the sun to illuminate a particular area. Since early history, humans have used solar lighting as their main method of illumination. Old laws such as England’s Prescription Act of 1832, established minimum rights to illumination through natural methods. In modern times, there are a variety of forms this type of lighting can take such as direct sunlight or even highly-controlled infrastructure installations. The most common type of solar lighting is called daylighting. This uses passive technologies to light rooms or specific areas. Daylighting takes on a variety of forms, the most common being skylights that are placed in the middle of rooms. An ancient form of this is clerestory windows, which are commonly found in Romanesque and Gothic architecture. They are openings placed at the top of large structures that allow the sun to shine inside. This was very important as the economics of lighting churches and cathedrals wi

Solar lights utilize the latest “L.E.D” technology and provide sufficient light to mark entrances, accent walkways and steps and indicate the locations of darkened obstacles at night. Suggested Applications • Mark entrances to long driveways • Accent darkened steps and curbing • Outline winding walkways • Decorate patios, decks and flower beds • Highlight remote garden paths • Indicate fish ponds and swimming pools Solar Questions and Answers Q: How do solar lights st
