Feb 12, 2009 by edoedo | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
Using outdoor solar lighting can save your money if you put those in your house at night time? Yes it does!
It saved me 30 dollars every months or more!
I wonder if you all have ever thought of that?
I would like to hear from you.
TY!
I put those solar light outside until it get dark then I put them in my houe.
PattyAnn = That true it is not strong light but I put 5 each in rooms. But it working!
Wow, I came back an hour later , all I have is two answered lol.
we had solar lights intel someone stole them.
Yes they do save money... but they don't save anything for me because people keep taking them it makes me what to say "@#%*"

Thanks for the tip! No, I honestly never thought of it. $30.00 is $30.00 after all. It makes me want to think of a way to keep the solar panel outside, on the side of the house that gets the most sun all the time, while mounting the lights permanently on the inside.

Sure we have all thought of it. The solar light in my garden isn't very bright. It costs to get solar lighting in your house. Heck, we use very little in the way of lights anyway. I turn them off if we're not in the room.

Great question!! Ive been thinking along the same lines with the economic crisis looming its smart to have back up lighting. Solar lights and panels could provide enough energy to pump water and provide some lighting as well as well as power up my laptop etc. You can use your laptop then to watch dvd's.

Wow..good for you..never thought of that..personally I would rather sit in the dark or pay the $30.00 to be able to flick the light on, but it is a good idea..I have the solar lights all down my laneway..they are great things.

Help with a simple outdoor solar lighting system?
Oct 28, 2008 by Estefaniamm | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
Hello, I want to have some light on my shed.
I was thinking on solar lighting. I have a 8xAA rechargeable battery from a toy car and I'm going to buy a solar panel, what kind do I need?
Do I need something else? What is a "solar panel controller"?
How I connect everything? What kind of bulbs are better?
Lots of questions! Thanks for your help!

PS. I WANT to build it, I know there are very cheap ones out there, but the objective is to learn a bit of electricity (positives and negatives and all that).
You need a panel, 5W is maybe fine, possibly 10W. 12V nominal.
You need a charge controller to prevent the batteries from overcharging.
You should use LED lighting.
I would prefer a Sealed Lead Acid cell.
It won't be very cheap.

Does anbody make good landscape solar lighting products? Like a complete system?
Nov 30, 2007 by oohhbother | Posted in Green Living
I'm looking for something more powerful than those pale useless self-solar single lights, such are sold at Home Depot.
I'm looking for functionality, not a bargain.
These folks will even help with design:

I'm having an outdoor party at night, and I want lighting?Solar lights?
Jun 15, 2008 by LoveeLoveGrl | Posted in Other - Home & Garden
I live out in the country,so lighting is limited. I really don't want my guests to be out in the dark (with just a motion light!) so I was wondering what I could do for lighting. I was wondering if solar lights could be the answer? Along with candles..but I'm not sure about those since there will be children there..and even if there weren't with 50+ people things could get crazy.So what can I do?
There are sooo many different solar lights available. You can get strings of lanterns for interest and some that you can stake into the ground to delineate paths to/from the home for food/bathroom trips. I would also have something for mosquito control like citronella lanterns.
Have a GREAT party.

Who thinks LED and Solar lights give quality lighting?
Aug 05, 2006 by backhome101 | Posted in Garden & Landscape
I've been installing landscape lighting for almost 20 years and can't uderstand why people see value in LED & Solar lights. It's like the electric car - great in theory but proformance leaves alot to be desired. Fireflies in a jar, Fireflies in a jar.
Depends on your need for landscape lighting.
I find MOST bright landscape lighting unnecessary & garish. I find the soft subtle solar lights are perfect for most garden uses.
Remeber it is a garden - not the Las Vegas strip!!!
