• Motion detectors: These lights turn on automatically when movement is detected. They are particularly suitable for security and lighting entrances or dark areas.
• Floor spotlights: They are embedded in the ground and shine from bottom to top. This makes them ideal for accentuating plants, trees or architectural details and provides pleasant light.

• Lanterns: These are traditionally designed lights that look like classic lanterns and create a nostalgic atmosphere. They are portable and versatile.

Modern solar lights and their functions – the light of the future

Modern solar lights have numerous functions that make them versatile. A twilight sensor ensures that the lights switch on automatically when darkness falls, so you don't need an extra switch or power connection in the garden. You can also let your light shine according to your personal mood with the color fixing and color changing function. Some models have an additional fire effect that takes the cozy atmosphere to a new level. You can easily adjust this remotely using Bluetooth control, with movable elements and dimmers offering you additional flexibility and convenience when designing the lighting.

Frequently asked Questions

How do solar lights work?

Solar technology is based on the photovoltaic effect, in which sunlight is converted into electrical energy when it hits the solar modules directly. The lamp's built-in battery stores the energy, and the lamp switches on automatically when it gets dark using sensors. Since the sun is the only source of energy, you can save electricity costs in the long term with a solar lamp and use an environmentally friendly light source.

How long do solar lights take to charge?

Solar lights typically require 6-8 hours of direct sunlight to fully charge. If the sky is overcast, the charging time can be up to 10-12 hours. When fully charged from the stored energy, they will typically light for between 6 and 12 hours.

How bright are solar lights?

Depending on the model and intended use, solar lights have a brightness of 10 to 1,000 lumens. Decorative lights often have a lower brightness level, while functional lights, such as path lights, achieve a higher lumen number.
