Your Guide to Buying Solar Lights

With the way technology has changed and advanced, new electronic devices have been introduced that humans can use to make their lives easier.  One such invention is the solar light that gets power from the sun instead of depending on electricity.  The advantage of this type of light is that the power source is free and it doesn't depend on power that is harmful to the environment.

And so, in this guide, we will discuss the different types of solar lights, what other buyers are saying, what to look out for and some of the most popular solar light brands.

Types of Solar Lights

LED Solar Lights

The advantage of using LED solar lights is that these can function ten times longer than fluorescent lights.  This is extremely important when the lights are used in hard to reach places like a twenty foot tall post.  Also, these are used in cold weather where the fluoresecent lights cannot function.

Lantern Shaped Solar Lights

This is another type of solar powered lights and these come in different shapes and sizes.  These are used to highlight certain places in your house like your garden or patio and can be moved easily.  Also, if you want to highlight your swimming pool, for instance, you can opt to use floating lantern shaped solar lights.

What Other Buyers Are Saying

There are many benefits in using solar lights.  As mentioned before, the power source that they use is the sun, which is free and these don't ruin the environment.

Some of the feedback that buyers are saying are:

very pleased they look lovely in my garden a lovely picture when they all come on when its dark thank you

All lamps worked perfectly out of the box. Two lamps failed after the second night. Of the eight remaining lamps one is much dimmer than the others and one doesn't go through the whole range of colour changes. All lamps have the same unobstructed view of the sun.

Some reviewers complain that the lamps aren't bright enough but they are for decoration/amusement, not illumination. For a novelty they are fine.

still after a month these are all working and I got 20. I stuck the in my plant pots around my garden and even in my ivy up my way which looks great.

Shame only 9 out of 10 Worked , But Great Lights .... No point sending back FOR 1 .... P & P greaT .
