Maximise the Power of Solar Lights

29th Feb @ 11:30

We do our best to make sure clear instructions and guidance is always included with the products we sell. But today’s news item is going to be about something very simple – how to get the best charge for your solar lights in the garden.



Solar garden lighting comes in various forms – fairy lights, decorative lights, lanterns, security lighting etc. Aside from solar powered fairy lights, decorative garden lighting – highlighting plants, pathways etc – is an incredibly popular form of outdoor lighting in the U.K. It’s simple, safe and fabulous in terms of money-saving solar power! As with fairy lights, decorative garden lights work by charging a lithium battery through daylight hours using solar cells. So, how do you get the best out of the cells? It’s not rocket science, but a compass and a little observation can be useful!



Treat the solar cell as you would your fantasy home – south facing is best! A solar cell angled upwards in a south-facing direction typically gets the best charge. However, the geography of your home is a huge factor. For example, if your south-facing boundary is lined with dense foliage and the solar cell falls in shade for much of the day, it might be worth a rethink. If you have the time, take a little while to observe the path of the sun across your property throughout the day. Modern solar lighting is designed to work very effectively even in shady conditions, but a pleasant afternoon plotting the course of the sun could be superbly beneficial.
