FAQ
How do solar garden lights work?
Solar lights for the garden are lights that turn the energy from the sun in the day into electricity which is then stored in a rechargeable battery and used to light the solar lighting in the evening. Each light has a small photovoltaic cell on the top or on a panel that you can place away from the light.Solar lights have a sensor so as soon as the darkness arrives, they will come on for a 6 hour period every evening.
Are solar garden lights any good?
Solar lights are cheap and easy to install and they'll save you money on electricity bills and batteries as they are charged by the sun during the day. You have to look after them so make sure the panel is direct sunlight with no shadow at all and that the panel is kept clean. If the solar light doesn’t get enough sun, they will stop working and the rechargeable battery will go flat.
Which solar garden lights?
