Solar Landscape Lights
BS My wife wants landscape lights for the front yard. She's convinced that
BS solar powered lights will work fine, but I'm not sure. They do seem to be BS less expensive than their hard-wired transformer & timer operated BS counterparts. One of my concerns is that there are many areas of our yard BS that do not receive direct sunlight. Another concern is that they don't BS seem very bright. Personally I would go with a solar sensor as opposed to a timer. Timers need to be reset as the length of daylight hours increase for the summer and decrease for the winter. We use an outdoor transformer with built-in sensor here. Elderly friend has the mechanical timer and always has to be fiddled with (guess who!). BS Has anyone had any experience with these solar-powered lights? I'd be most BS grateful for any comments or opinions on the pros and cons of solar vs. BS standard landscape lights. No personal experience with the solar lamps but you will need a brighter light source to charge properly so seems they will not work all that well in a shaded area. - ¯ barry.martinþATþthesafebbs.zeppole.com ® * Newton's Law: Apples cause headaches. --- þ RoseReader 2.52á P003186 þ The Safe BBS þ Bettendorf, IA 563-359-1971 --- þ RIMEGate(tm)/RGXMod V1.13 at BBSWORLD * |
