The advantages of solar lamps

One of the hottest topics this summer is the recent increase in the price of raw materials: our household utility bills are dramatically increasing and using lighting systems that can contain energy costs has now become a prerogative of primary importance.

Low cost lighting: all the available solutions

Home lighting has a significant impact on energy bill costs.
The simplest way to reduce your electricity consumption is to change your light bulbs and your indoor and outdoor lighting systems.
Fortunately, technology has made great strides in the sector and the old incandescent light bulbs, with high consumption, have finally been replaced by solutions with very low consumption. Let's see them:

Solar Lamps: Why Are They the Solution?

Solar lights are an eco-friendly solution for lighting outdoor areas such as gardens, balconies and terraces.
Furthermore, they do not weigh on the bill, because they are recharged directly with solar energy .
There are many solar lighting products on the market and they come in different shapes, from simple solar poles to solar projectors and solar wall lights , based on use and functionality. Let's discover them:

  • Solar floodlights: perfect for illuminating passageways such as driveways, gates and entrance doors, they are generally equipped with motion sensors.
  • Solar spotlights : versatile and practical, they offer a wide range of uses. Used to illuminate or signal, they can be recessed or buried. Excellent for creating a luminous atmosphere, they are less practical for illuminating an outdoor environment.
  • Solar wall lights : they are the perfect solution to properly illuminate a terrace without having to use a very intense light. Placed on the external walls they enhance the design of the house.
  • Solar street lamps : used to elegantly delimit a garden or a large terrace, they can also be used to signal a passage or a door.

How to choose solar lights for your exterior

Solar energy is the most powerful and sustainable : choosing solar-powered lighting means respecting the environment and having a net saving on energy costs.
To correctly choose the solar lamps that best suit your needs, we give you some practical advice.

The space to illuminate

The first criterion for choosing the right solar street light is based on the space that will be illuminated. How large is it? How many square meters are we talking about? Is it a long and narrow path, or a large garden, a park, an entrance, a square? Will the solar street light only serve to signal the passage or will it have to illuminate the area? Solar street lights are usually used in large spaces.

For those who need to illuminate medium or small spaces , solar lighting devices such as headlights, spotlights and floodlights are recommended. Garden lamps are also very popular, suitable for smaller spaces and private homes.

The motion sensor

During the day, the solar-powered street lamp remains off and, thanks to the sunlight, the photovoltaic panel recharges the internal batteries.
In the evening, the street lamp will automatically turn on thanks to the twilight function incorporated in all solar street lamps.
You can choose a street lamp equipped with a motion sensor that increases in intensity when it detects passage or presence.

The brightness

Solar panel lighting ensures a clear view of the place and its surroundings. Depending on their intended use, you will need to choose how much brightness you will need.

The autonomy

All solar lighting devices have a different degree of autonomy. A fully charged battery can therefore turn on the street lamp, even in bad weather, for a defined number of nights or hours.

The installation

The installation of the solar lamp is very simple, thanks to the operation through solar energy, it does not need to be connected to the electrical network. It will be enough to fix it in the place chosen for the installation. Usually it is fixed to the wall or to a pole.
