Low Carbon Footprint Environmentally Friendly Solar Lighting

The technology advances made in solar lighting in recent years really now means that this industry is going to take off in a massive way. So when the night’s draw in this fall there’s a new environmentally friendly way to enjoy barbecue evenings on the porch. This page is here both to help you get to grips with new technology and also ensure that when you’re ready to buy, you buy something that’s going to do the job you want it to. Did you ever think that there would be a late summer BBQ with a low carbon footprint?

What Is Solar?

It’s basically a light powered by a highly efficient rechargeable battery that’s connected up to a solar panel known as a photo voltaic cell.

How Long Do The Lights Stay On For?

A fully charged battery will last for approx ten hours. The re charge rate is dependent on the amount of sun that the solar cell gets.

How Bright Are The Lights? To be fair they are not as bright as standard lights but if you position them well, the more subtle lighting will really complement your BBQ area.

Can I Get Replacement Batteries And Bulbs?

For batteries the answer is yes, but it’s not something you’ll be doing every month as the batteries typically last for 1000 discharges. The LED bulbs are not replaceable but these typically last up to 25 years.

Why Should I Go Solar?

It’s environmentally friendly lighting because the lights don’t consume network electricity and for the same reason, they cost nothing to run! You can landscape a night time garden without worrying about your carbon footprint! One other advantage is that you can install them very quickly without have to worry about an outside electricity source.

Where Can I Buy These Environmentally Friendly Lights?

Solar Light Store - This store has a massive range including spot lights, wall lights and path lights.

Amazon.com - The range is not as extensive as the store above but the competitive pricing makes it worth a look.
