Spotlight on Solar Lights
Looking for ways to enjoy your outdoor living after the sun goes down but don’t want to deal with wiring outdoor lights? You might want to consider outdoor solar lamps. According to Jessica Robinson, Associate Product Development Merchant, “Solar lights are a clean, renewable energy source.” Rather than depending on electricity for their power, each solar light uses a rechargeable battery to store energy and shine bright. That means no wires and no hassle for you to deal with installing and using the product.
If you are thinking of the dim, little solar lights of the past, think again. Solar lights have enjoyed some major technological advances. “In the last five years alone, we’ve seen significant innovation in solar lighting,” Robinson said. “In recent models, we’re seeing anywhere from 12 to 14 hours of runtime and higher lumen output due to improved battery capacities and panel tech.” Put simply, today’s solar lamps are better engineered and last much, much longer than the two-year lifespan of older models.
These energy-efficient models draw no power (remember, no wires) and have low emissions. And maintenance? Just give your lamps a little cleaning as needed and replace the batteries every few years, and they should work just like new. There are also plenty of accessories in The Home Depot like sconces, string lights and more to add to your outdoor light selection.
