Not many people know that modern solar lights are so powerful and reliable that they can even be used as street lights.
Long gone are the days where they were dim, held their power for only a few hours and lasted for less than a year.
New generation solar lights are hardy, long-lasting, environmentally clean, require no wiring, last for years and can even shine through cloudy days.
The short answer is that there exists a solar equivalent for almost every type of outdoor light (and even a few indoor lights, where the solar panel is on the outside). This includes solar street lights, bollards, step lights, flood lights, fairy lights, motion sensor lights, wall lights, emergency lights, spotlights, spike lights, lamp posts, deck lights and camping lights.
All solar lights have the following components:
The important thing to remember is that when you install the solar light, always point its solar panel directly at the point in the sky at which the sun would be at midday.
Ideally, this should be changed between the summer and winter as the sun moves.
Once fully charged, most solar lights will illuminate between six and eight hours. That said, some commercial grade and heavy-duty solar lights can illuminate up to five nights on a single charge.
The answer is yes, but they will charge slower and less efficiently.
The component that will give out first will normally be the rechargeable batteries. These should last about four years. They are inexpensive, so many solar lights make it quite easy to change the batteries once they are no longer reliable.
