If you have used solar garden lights in the past, you may have been disappointed with their poor quality and cost. However, over the past few years, drastic improvements have been made. They are now cost effective, durable, and dependable. Solar garden lights are now a viable lighting solution for your landscaping needs.
The cool thing about solar garden lights, in comparison to low voltage lights, is that they can be placed pretty much anywhere and you don't have to worry about wires or transformers. Most solar lighting fixtures are entirely self-contained. The battery and solar panel are enclosed within the fixture itself. Just make sure they receive a good bit of sunshine during the day so that the solar panel can charge the battery. If you fail to put you solar garden lighting fixtures in direct sunlight for 5- 9 hours, the battery may not receive a full charge. This will affect the brightness and how long the lights stay on at night.
New solar garden lights use high capacity batteries and more efficient solar panels. This allows the fixture to be exposed to less sun but still be able to fully charge the battery. Another cool new feature is the charge regulator. It stops the battery from charging once it is fully charged. You no longer have to worry about overcharging your batteries and decreasing the life of the battery.
