Cant seem to find one. Is there a source to buy these lights? http://www.solarelectricityhome.net/blog/solar-lamp-lights/i-need-a-sun-lamp-for-testing-a-solar-collector-cant-seem-to-find-one-is-there-a-source-to-buy-these-lights http://www.solarelectricityhome.net/blog/solar-lamp-lights/i-need-a-sun-lamp-for-testing-a-solar-collector-cant-seem-to-find-one-is-there-a-source-to-buy-these-lights#comments Thu, 24 Sep 2009 06:13:24 +0000 admin http://www.solarelectricityhome.net/blog/solar-lamp-lights/i-need-a-sun-lamp-for-testing-a-solar-collector-cant-seem-to-find-one-is-there-a-source-to-buy-these-lights Or is there an alternative lamp that can be used like a heat lamp or uv lamp sold at lowes?
this is not a solar panel it is a parabolic collector that will focus light onto copper tubing. heating the tubing. Will the csl lights work for this

you can get 100 watt equivalent (actually 30 watts) CFLs (compact fluorescent lamp) that is "tuned" to have a blue or cool output. Those will work well. Get a utility lamp with a reflector and put the lamp in it.

I see no reason that at least minimal solar generated lighting cannot be practical today.
I have a yard ornament: a "lighthouse" whose roof and area around the cupola ("room" where the light is) is a solar panel. The light burns all night long.
I’d like something like that, say, on a stand about like a downturned flashlight. Its sides could be the panels that charge it, and a small rechargeable battery could be somewhere therein. (The light would be in the top end, and at night, I’d just bring them all in and scatter them about the house to burn all night.)
Does something like this now exist? (Is there a company you know of that would be willing to manufacture and sell them?)
I’m not wanting these as alternative or substittute light sources. I’m just wanting the equavalent of the little "night lights" like kids like in their rooms at night. Mainly just so I can walk through the house without breaking a toe. If I want full light, I’ll just turn on the room light.

SO far I just haven’t seen any solar powered lights or lamps that provide adequate light for indoor use except for some flood lights that actually give off too much light.

An alternative though is to get a battery operated light (like camping lanterns) and use rechargeable batteries with a solar recharger. This way you can leave the lights in place and just change the batteries.

I’ve been thinking about getting the charger at the link below. The same website also sells rechargeable batteries.
