When buying outdoor solar landscape lights what should I look for?

admin — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 06:03:13 +0000

key considerations:
* luminaire output – BTW, most newer solar lights use LEDs. on average a light comes with 1-3 LEDs.
* solar panel storage capacity – consider how much charge it can hold & can it effectively drive the output of all LEDs in the lights.
* separate solar panels that can be wired to multiple lights. – if a panel can be wired to 2 lights, you may get more ‘light time’ if you only hook up 1 light to the panel. (this is the trick I use)
* the amount of direct light it needs to charge.

a good detailed explanation is found on the web at: http://chinese-school.netfirms.com/reviews/solar-landscape-lighting.html

Why are my LED solar landscape lights glowing blue instead of white?

I just installed solar coach lights for my pathway on Sunday. They are "supposed" to be a "bright white", according to the package. They are glowing mosquito zapper blue. They glowed this color for the last 2 nights. Is it b/c they need more days to charge? They came from Walmart. Please advise!

If they are "bright" this is normal. Since they are new I would say the "White" is actually brilliant blue. You can also look at the bulb (you have to take the base off. If the LED is blue-ish when it is off that is your answer. Mine are blue like you..

You can test this (only at night) by putting some alkaline batteries in to see what happens. It should be brighter but will probably still be blue. Don’t ever leave alkaline (or any other non-rechargable battery in your lights during the day as they will explode).
