Solar Yard Lights

If you're looking for a lighting scheme to install in the outdoor area of your house, solar yard lights are the green answer. This type of yard lights harness the power of daylight and turn it into night-time lighting in a safe, affordable, hassle-free way and, most importantly, independent from the grid. Besides, they are equipped with sensors that make them go on and off depending on the time of the day. That ensures yard lights will work even when there's no one home.

A package of yard lights usually includes the casing, a NiCd battery, a small solar panel, a light sensor, and an LED light. LEDs are the most common type of light but some models may use fluorescent bulbs. Solar yard lights usually are self-contained and simply need to be placed in the yard to start operating with sun power. Some models may be connected to a single solar panel, in which the case the light can be placed in shaded areas while the panel stays where it is exposed to the sun.

LEDs are ideal for yard lights because they consume less power, are reliable and have a life span of up to 100,000 hours. The rechargeable batteries will need to be replaced every two years or so.

There are many ways solar yard lights can be used, from decorative purposes to floodlight and spotlight models. To have a look at the options available, please visit the Energy Refuge solar store.
