SOLAR LAMP POST LIGHTS

An Easy Way to Add Classic Beauty to an Outdoor Nightscape

Lamp posts have been around for hundreds of years. The evolution has evolved from oil fired lamps to gas powered lamps to electric lamp posts. Now consumers have a more affordable option: solar lamp post lights.

Rising energy costs mean energy efficient lighting is in more demand than ever. Solar products have really improved in recent years and are now available for just about any outdoor application.

Lamp post lights come in many styles and colors. Some come with the post they sit on, but many are separate and have mounting brackets that make them suitable for any standard three inch post. From the classic gas lit lamp look to a more contemporary style, consumers have a wide range of choice.

A solar post light has a photovoltaic panel on its top which absorbs the sun's energy during the day. This energy is stored in a battery and at night, the lamp will automatically switch on providing soft light for the entire period of darkness. A good solar post light with just one Light Emitting Diode (LED) light bulb can shine the equivalent illumination of a 40 watt standard incandescent bulb. And many solar lights come with multiple LEDs.

Solar technology is now good enough for most outdoor lighting applications

Solar lighting products had a bad reputation for a number of years and deserved it. They often broke, didn't light up the way they were advertised or couldn't keep a charge long enough or deep enough to be able to work through the entire period of darkness. Solar technology really has improved however, and these products are now just as good as any wired low voltage lighting solution for most outdoor applications. The added benefits of zero operating cost and environment friendly operation make them preferred choices for more and more consumers.

These lamp post lights really do add a touch of class to any property and make a wonderful addition to an outdoor landscape lighting plan. They are found in most lighting stores and readily available on line for shipping directly to your front door.
