LED Solar Lights

LED solar lights: Efficient lighting from nature What is a solar light?

Modern solar lights are environmentally friendly lighting solutions that work independently of external power sources. These lights use the sun's energy to store electricity during the day and automatically emit light when it gets dark. They are the ideal choice for anyone who wants to enjoy atmospheric light with minimal effort and without high electricity costs.

How do solar lights work?

Essentially, solar lights consist of solar cells that convert sunlight into electrical energy. This stored energy is stored in built-in rechargeable batteries and automatically utilised for lighting when it gets dark.

Advantages of solar lights

No electricity costs

LED solar lights do not incur any additional energy costs as they utilise sunlight as an energy source. This makes them a sustainable alternative to conventional outdoor lighting.

No cables

These lights can be placed anywhere, whether in the garden, on the patio or along paths, without the need for complex wiring.

Automatic switching on and off

Many modern solar lights have sensors that ensure that the lights switch on automatically in the dark and switch off again in daylight.

Simple installation

Installation is uncomplicated: Most models simply need to be set up or fixed in a sunny spot.

Use even in winter

High-quality solar lights work even in winter. Thanks to powerful rechargeable batteries and efficient solar cells, they also light up on cooler days.

Long light duration

Depending on the battery capacity and solar radiation, LED solar lights offer a long lighting duration, often up to 8 hours.

Product types of LED solar lights

LED solar lights are available in many variations for different areas of application:

• Ground spotlights: Perfect for targeted illumination of garden paths or plants.
• Figures: Decorative lights in the shape of animals or sculptures for the garden.
• Fairy lights: Ideal for atmospheric lighting on balconies, patios or around trees.
• Table lamps: Perfect for lighting on balconies or garden tables.
• Wall lights: Are attached to walls and provide bright light around the house.
• Path lights: Illuminate paths and driveways and provide additional safety.
• Solar globes: Decorative spheres that can light up in different colours.
• Solar lanterns: Nostalgic lights that create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
• Solar lights with motion detector: Particularly practical for safety and convenience.

Practical vs. decorative lights

Some solar lights, such as solar lights with motion detectors, are functional and provide security. They generate bright light as soon as movement is detected. Other models such as solar globes or fairy lights have a more decorative character and produce soft light to create a cosy atmosphere.

Important purchasing criteria for solar lights

How exactly does a solar LED light work? The solar cells in the lights convert sunlight into electrical energy, which is stored in the built-in rechargeable batteries. As soon as it gets dark, the stored energy is used to power the LED solar light. High-quality solar lights offer a light duration of up to 8 hours.

What should you look out for in solar lights?

• Battery capacity: The higher the capacity, the longer the light duration.
• Light output: Decide whether you prefer bright or soft light.
• Weather resistance: Choose a solar light that is waterproof and UV-resistant.
• Mounting options: Choose wall lights, path lights or freestanding models depending on the area of application.

Frequently asked questions

When do solar lights switch on?

How long do solar lights stay on?

The lighting time is usually between 6 and 8 hours, depending on the amount of sunlight and battery capacity.

Can solar lights also be used in winter?

Yes, high-quality models also work in winter, but may have a lower luminosity.

Are solar lights weatherproof?

Most solar lights are weatherproof, but make sure that the model you choose is really waterproof.

What should I do if my solar light doesn't work?

Check the battery and solar cells for dirt or defects. Replacing the battery can often help.
