Choosing a Solar Light

One way to select the right solar light is based on where it will be and how much light you need. For maximum light, a solar lamppost is probably the best choice. These lamp posts stand seven feet tall and even the single light has 6 super-bright LED bulbs. If you need more light, get a double-lamp post or even a triple-lamp post with 18 super-bright LED bulbs.

You can also select a solar lamp post based on style and color. These posts come in three colors black, white, and antique rust.

For your convenience, these solar lights turn on and off automatically or you can use the manual switch. The solar batteries convert and store the sunlight so they can shine brightly at night.

Another use of solar lighting is in a shed or garage. Most storage sheds and even many garages are detached from the living quarters. This means you have to get an electrician to install the lights and run heavy wires back to the panel. This can take a lot of time and can be expensive. Use a solar shed light instead. You would put the part that collects and converts the sun’s rays outside the shed and a wire leads to the light inside. This would also be a good idea for a boathouse or any permanent structure that needs light once in a while. Look for the model with a built in night light so you can easily find the switch.
