How To Choose Solar Deck And Patio Lighting
Solar Deck Lights
If you want to add lighting to your patio or deck, how do you choose from the thousands of options available? Having so many choices is better than having none, but it can be confusing, too. Here are some ideas to help you choose.
First, decide whether you want to purchase and install permanent fixtures or portable ones. If you own your own house, it may be a worthwhile investment to take the time and effort to anchor pole lights in concrete, or to build a gazebo to drape with solar string lights. But if you rent or are still experimenting with what kind of lighting you like, make things easy on yourself and use portable solar lighting. Everything from hanging solar lights to solar pole lights are available in portable versions. That way you can try out different configurations, and take your solar lighting investment with you if you move.
Second, decide if you want hanging lighting, or lighting that sits on the ground. Remember that any lights you place on the ground competes for floor space on your deck or patio. This may not be an issue if your outdoor living space is large, but if you've got a small patio that barely allows for chairs and a table, or a balcony the size of your hall closet, you may want to stick to hanging solar lighting. Solar rope lights are easy and fast to install. You can hang them up and out of the way of foot traffic, and they create a charming atmosphere that you can enjoy in any season.
Third, do you have any ornamental plants or garden art that you would like to feature? If you do, then consider using solar spot lights or two to really show it off. Spotlighting a beautiful plant or sculpture makes a stunning visual statement whenever you use your outdoor living space, and can be an added bonus if your indoor living area has a view of your deck or patio.

Solar Christmas Lights
Solar Powered Christmas Lights
When some people think of Christmas lights, they have fond memories of staring at all the pretty decorations in the neighborhood. Lights that surround the porch, line the roof, or adorn the outdoor trees can be very beautiful and often serve as a creative outlet for holiday lovers all over. In these tight financial times, however, one might be tempted to look at Christmas lights and think about the electric bill that's adding up. Luckily, there is a solar solution to that problem that allows you to keep your creativity and set those lights up anyway.
"Solar Christmas lights?", you might ask. It does seem strange that something that is meant to function in the dark could draw from the sun as its power source. The real secret is a hidden battery wired into the solar collector. The solar panel collects the sun's rays all day and uses the battery to power the lights at night. The lighting system uses an optical sensor to 'know' the difference between day and night.
The burgeoning market for solar Christmas lights has brought with it a wide variety of styles and colors to choose from. The solar strings are practically indistinguishable from the old style electric type when viewed from the street because they are just as bright. They use low energy LED's to make their light, so they can burn brighter than an incandescent bulb and they last longer on less power. The collector can even be hidden inconspicuously in the yard to do its work during the day.

Solar street lights are a judicious choice for parking lots, parks, highways, roads airports, area lighting and many other public, private and military sites.
When installing solar street lights, there is no need for excavation to put cables, as power does not depend of the grid.
Solar energy is used to charge the self-contained battery during daylight and at night, the power released by the battery powers the lights.
A timer or a photocell controls the operation of the lights from dusk to dawn.
More details on how solar street lights work.
Set up is quick, usually less than a day per solar street light. It can be done by any experienced technician.
The solar panel needs to be properly aligned to gather maximum energy during the day.
There are few things to consider when planning using solar street lights.
It is very important to correctly size the different components (solar panels, lamp, battery, solar controller) according to the geographic area.

Solar Garden Lights
Solar lights will give life to your garden every night.
Solar lights are really easy to install in your garden.All you have to do is to decide on the site you want to lit and stick the fixture in the ground.
Best of all they don't need electricity.
Some will come with a small built in solar panel on the top; other will have a removable panel that you can place at a sunny and convenient location.
During the day the solar panel linked to an electronic circuit, charges the batteries.
When night begins to falls a photocell detects the changes in luminosity and switch on the light.
At sunrise the light switches off and the charging cycle starts again.
Assuming the batteries are fully charged, good quality solar lights will provide illumination all night long without any problem.
NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) or NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) Batteries are often used in solar lighting applications. They will last 2 or 3 years and are easily replaceable.
Most modern solar lights use LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology.
Contrary to usual light bulbs, LED's power consumption is very low, thus providing more lighting time.
In addition, LED's are very reliable and can last a very long time.
Maintenance wise, the only thing required is to clean the solar panel once in a while.
Regularly removing the build up dust with a soft clothe, will guarantee optimum performance.
Do not expect solar garden lights to deliver an extremely bright luminosity.
Their main purpose is to create a pleasant atmosphere at night.
Very nice accent lighting can be obtained when the lights are well located.
Solar garden lights can be found in a multitude of designs and for many purposes.
In addition to the simple and common fixture, you can find for example floating solar lights for swimming pools or ponds, solar deck lights, solar pathway lights.
Solar lights are not limited to gardens; in my next article I will give you an idea about some other interesting solar lighting applications.
Solar Light Batteries
Solar Light Batteries are not etenal
When your solar lights stop working, or the lighting intensity diminishes, most of the time batteries are the reason.Solar lights batteries need to be replaced every year or so.

Solar Eternal Lights
Solar lights for cemetery - Solar memorial lights
OK, I agree, it is not a very pleasant subject...Did you know that solar lights are used in cemeteries?
Nowadays, Solar Cross Lights and Solar Angel Lights are very popular memorial items. They are slowly replacing candles and battery powered eternal lights.
The reason is simple: Solar Eternal Lights shade a beautiful glow every night on the resting place and they need minimum maintenance

Floating Solar Lights
Solar Pool Lights and Solar Pond Lights
So you have a swimming pool... Lucky you!Now it's time to impress your friends and neighbors with some floating solar lights in your pond or swimming pool.
Solar pond lights will definitely add life to your water features at night.
Around the world in 15 months... in a Solar Car
The Solar Taxi
For the first time in history, a solar car is making a trip around the world...OK, it's not about solar lights but I couldn't resist this one! After all, solar cars have lights and I believe they are... SOLAR LIGHTS!
In the course of his trip with a solar energy car, Louis Palmer from Switzerland arrived in Lebanon to promote clean energies. So far, Palmer has crossed the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Turkey, Syria, before arriving to Lebanon. He will later continue on to Jordan. The journey will last 15 months with a goal to cover 50.000 kilometers. Palmer will visit 5 continents and 50 countries. He is expected to end his tour later this year.
Now for the solar car:
The 3 wheels vehicle has 2 seats.
The Solar Taxi (its name) is linked to a trailer covered with solar panels and containing the batteries and electronic stuff.
It seems to work!!
LEDs Light Emitting Diodes
Led Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are used on almost every electronic appliances.Solar lights love them! Why?
1. LEDs are bright
2. LEDs can last years
3. LEDs have a very low power consumption
For the above reasons, LEDs are replacing normal light bulbs in a lot of professional and commercial solar lights.
LEDs are used for example in solar traffic lights, solar street lights and airport lighting.
In this kind of applications ultra bright LEDs or super bright LEDs are utilized.
The solar safari helmet
Another... weird solar application
I cant resist adding some solar gadgets on this lens from time to time. I am considering starting a new lens dedicated to solar gadgets...So, your brain is overheating? Cool! Solar technology and the solar safari hat is here to help! This solar safari helmet has a small fan powered by 4 solar cells located on top. When there's no sun, the fan can be fed by 2 AA batteries.
Guess what's missing on this solar fan hat... a solar light of course!
The solar ... Printer
DIY Solar panels
Solar energy is progressing fast.In the near future you will be able to print sheets of solar-cells with cheap home ink jet printers. The printed sheets can then be placed on a roof, wall or any other area. I like the idea!
Just connect the printed sheets to a battery charger and that's it! You obtain 12 volts. You need more? An inverter will do the job of providing 110 or 220 volts.
