Solar Light – Pros and Cons
When you are considering install lighting of any kind, you need to evaluate which types of lighting are available. Here are some pros and cons of solar lighting to consider.
Pros:
1. Ease of installation
2. They are relatively inexpensive
3. They come in a variety of styles, shapes, materials and colors.
4. They can be moved around easily.
5. Since they are relatively inexpensive, you can change to another style of solar landscape light and get the latest and greatest that is out today.
Cons:
1. Need of sunlight. Solar Lights are powered by re-chargeable batteries. These batteries are charge via a small solar panel affixed to the light. If the area does not get adequate sun, the batteries may not charge adequately.
2. Batteries affected by weather. If your area does get wintry and cold weather, the batteries may not charge adequately since cold weather has a tendency to draw down the batteries power much the same as a car battery. Further, in winter, you may get more cloudy days and the batteries may not charge adequately. Your solar light might even get buried in the snow and get forgotten and when clearing snow, they may be damaged.
As you can see, solar lights fall into the same Pro and Cons that any product may fall in. The most important thing to consider is is to decide how flexible you want to be with light. Solar lights certainly offer that, but it may not be the best solution for every application.
