Solar Lawn Lights?
Question:
Answer:
Sure you want Solar lights? Because, they arent very bright...none of them! They shine more like a night light. Plus, they need full sun all day or they wont shine long at night. Plus, you cant use them in the winter if you live in a cold climate, it will drain the battery and they wont work.
Have you considered installing a regular electrical light set? They are easy to install and use...you just plug the unit into an outdoor outlet and put the spotlights where you want. Most come with an automatic timer that turns them on and off when you want. I wouldnt buy a plastic set though, i would get a metal one, i have had both and the metal one i have now has lasted longer than the plastic ones did. The bulbs are easy to change too, you just unscrew the front and put a new bulb in.
try heartland usa...don't know their web address, but they occasionaly send me a catalog and have seen malibu solar lights cheap. i have used this brand with good results.
When I was at lowes last week I saw a large package of solar walkway lights, I believe it was 25 lights for $75
Walmart had a pack of 35 lights on a few weeks ago for 50 bucks. Might be worth checking out.
I agree with "Eat". Solar lawn and pathway lights are a big disappointment. My neighbor has them and it's kind of a joke. By midnight they're light is gone because the batteries only charge for about 6 hours. They are also very poorly constructed and the plastic starts to crack after a few years. I've heard that solar LEDs produce more light for a longer time because they use less energy and have more lumens than regular low voltage light bulbs used in most solar path light sets.
My "fairy lights" came from Walmart. They glow softly through the night, until dawn. Love them.
