What are The Different Types of Solar Powered Lights?
Solar-Powered LED Bollards are typically used to light up pathways, and driveways in the home but are also used for pedestrian safety on a commercial scale. They are popular to accent features in the garden and outdoor spaces without any light pollution as they don’t emit any upward light.
Solar Wall Lights have many uses including decorative feature lighting, outdoor mood lighting but also security lighting. Having the flexibility to install a wall light without worrying about a power supply is one of the main reasons people are opting for the solar-powered version. Our range of outdoor wall lights also includes PIR wall lights which only turn on when movement is detected and don’t have to be on all night if you do not need them to be.
Solar Powered String Lights are very popular throughout the year as they need little sunshine to charge and will give off a decorative feel to any outdoor space. Sometimes referred to as either Solar Fairy Lights or Solar Festoons they have a multitude of uses, found in the hospitality industry as pub garden lighting. In the domestic set-up, they are great for mood lighting when entertaining outdoors.
Solar Powered Security Lighting is a cost-effective method of keeping your home safe and deterring intruders at night. These can come in all types of different light fittings but the most common being the led solar floodlights. They will either have the solar panel attached directly to the light fitting or have the solar panel attached to the fitting with a cable. The second option gives you more flexibility as you can have the flood light installed in a place that might not get much sunlight but position the solar on the roof for example for maximum sun exposure. As mentioned earlier, the advancement in technology now allows you to choose an option with a PIR sensor. The motion sensor will turn the light on upon detection of movement, this is especially useful for those that do not want the flood light on all through the night.
Decorative Solar Lighting will enhance your outdoor living spaces whilst at the same time driving down energy consumption. Decorative lighting apart from its aesthetic qualities can also be used as feature lighting to enhance a particular area of your garden, patio, or porch. The Noma Colour Changing Solar Powered Mesh Stake lights come in a pack of four and will suit most garden styles as they can be used in flower beds, driveways, paths, around ponds just about anywhere you choose.
LED Solar Powered Spot Lights can be used all throughout the garden to bring light to areas that might not have got light before, giving you full use or a view of your garden at night. These are usually stake or spike lights that come with an integrated LED spot. Their Solar panel is usually positioned on the top of the fitting where it’s exposed to the sun.
