Solar
yard lights harness the power of daylight (the power of
the sun) to light up the night. What could be more efficient than that?
One important feature of solar yard lights is that of safety. They
can be used to light up otherwise treacherous pathways and steps. And
when you have these solar-powered lights at your house, you do not have
to worry about them not working in a power outage or if someone (gasp!)
cuts your power line or messes with your breaker.
While the rest of the neighborhood is left in the dark, your house
and your garden can be elegantly lit up. Another good thing about solar
yard lights is that most of them have sensors that sense the onset of
both dusk and dawn and thereby automatically turn on or off, as appropriate.
In this way, you can be sure that your yard will be lit up at night,
even if you forget to do it yourself, or even if you are away on vacation.
The basic components of solar yard lights is the casing (plastic, copper,
stainless steel, etc.), a nicad battery, a small solar panel, a light
sensor, and an LED light (most use LEDs, but some use fluorescents).
Most of these lights are self-contained and simply need to be placed
in the yard where they will receive the most sunlight. There are, however,
sets of solar yard lights that are all connected to one solar panel
-- these lights can be placed in shaded areas, as long as the panel
is placed in the sun.
