Introduction to Solar Lighting

Solar lighting is the use of lights powered by the energy of the sun. Special materials that have the ability to absorb the sun's rays and convert them into electrical energy are used in making a solar light.  The recent evolution of these LED lighting fixtures from basic primary colours into true white light has now made it possible for LED solar lights to be used for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications, one of which is street lighting.

Outdoor solar lighting systems use  solar cells , which convert sunlight into electricity. The electricity is stored in batteries for use at night.  However, it is worthwhile pointing out that these lighting systems will work well only as long as the solar cells receive the manufacturer’s recommended hours of sunlight.

It’s no wonder why solar lighting is become more and more popular these days. And it is likely for this trend to continue into the future.  The most popular varieties of decorative solar lighting are for use in the garden.   Outdoor garden lights are made to be decorative during daylight hours because you do not want the lighting to detract from the natural beauty of the garden area.  

There is a huge range of different types of solar lighting fixtures available in the market.

Solar yard lights, are made specifically to illumine gardens/ yards during the night.  While not really bright lights, they create a comfortable, relaxing ambience.

Solar powered security lights are solar flood lights are meant for security purposes. They can flood large areas with bright, warm light.

Solar rock lights are a very popular choice.  These are solar lights that are disguised as rocks.  They come in many different sizes and colours and they are usually shaped irregularly so that they look natural.    

Solar light strings are available for lighting your shed at night. They include a solar collector to be placed on the roof of the shed, and a pull string light for the interior of the shed

This lighting technology is not solely providing benefits to the industrialized world. For example Kiran ('Ray of Light' in Hindi) is a Solar lantern designed to provide a cheap and clean replacement for the use of kerosene lighting in rural India and Africa.

Moving from the utilitarian Kiran light to a entirely decorative example of these lights is the Shoji Lantern. Common  Shoji Lantern screen colours include orange, pink, blue, amber and white. Many white shoji lanterns have off-white, even multicolour LEDs in them.

Solar Christmas lights are becoming very popular. They essentially function in the same manner as solar powered garden lights. They consist of a solar panel to absorb the sunlight, a controller board connected to a battery in which the converted electricity is stored.   

LED solar street lights are starting to out-compete incandescent luminaires in a number of additional ways and are starting to appear on streets.    Not only are LED's lower energy use lamps, but they last longer than the previous lamps.

So, solar lights are a promising source of alternative energy. These lights can provide good illumination as much as traditional lighting.  They offer tremendous benefits and advantages for those who want to enjoy the beauty of a lit garden or patio during the night.  They also add safety and security by keeping areas outside your home well lit at night.   These outdoor lights are an eco-friendly and affordable way to decorate and illuminate any exterior area of your home.

Outdoor solar lights are easy to install and virtually maintenance free. Best of all, they provide free electricity.  

Once you have decided to buy solar lights, the next step of course is choosing the right one to suit your needs. The range of choices available nowadays is fairly huge. You can get solar lights in various shapes, sizes, material and with different fixtures. You’re almost only limited by your imagination.
