Solar Power Spot Light

Review of Solar Power Spot Light

There are several different manufactures that make this type of light. Some call them spots lights and Malibu calls them flood lights.

This could be misleading to some people who expect a solar light to deliver as much light as a regular 120 volt spot light or a professional grade low voltage spot light.

These lights come with 3 led lights, which is better than some solar lights that have only 1 led. A good rule of thumb to remember is that 3 led lights are equivalent to a desk light.

These lights also use white led bulbs which produces a blueish-white light.

These lights could be used to light paths, stairs, small plants, fences, front doors or small water features. Remember also that it takes less light to light something that is lighter in color.

You might be able to get good results by lighting garden hardscapes that are lighter in color or any garden accessories that are made out of white vinyl.

What We Like

Replaceable batteries
Automatic dusk to dawn sensor
Led lights seem to not attract insects
Many will Illuminate up to 10 hours with full charge
Solar panel swivels for optimal solar energy collection
Lights can be located up to 20 feet away from solar panel
Most have 1 year warranty for workmanship and material quality.

What we Don't Like

Light beams are narrow
Most are made of plastic
Wires from panel to the light will need to be buried or concealed
Solar lighting will not be as bright as 12 volt landscape lighting or line voltage lighting
Cloudy days will reduce the light output(option for this is to recharge the batteries in a recharger)
