The Safety of the Solar Security Light

Don’t underestimate the power of the solar security light. Many people are leery about making the switch from full on electric powered security lighting to solar powered because they don’t understand how reliable and efficient it is. One common misconception is that if it isn’t a sunny day, the equipment won’t get enough power and will shut off during the night. Nothing could be further from the truth. Even on the cloudiest days that don’t appear to be sunny, there is still plenty of Ultra Violet light coming from the sun. So it is smart and safe to run your security system this way.

Silicon Solar, Inc. and Zenith have just recently started promoting their new product, which not only harnesses the power of the sun, but also does so without the use of wires. The sun ray gathering sensor is placed somewhere where it can easily charge, while the actual light is placed in a totally different position. This eliminates any chance of wire damage or connection problem. That’s not the best part, though. These sets can also be used as floodlights, garden lights, spot lights, and even walkway lights. There’s no law against using them to illuminate your patio deck or fence, either.

So what can someone expect to pay for a total system like this? If you want the complete package (which includes a security light that can be used for many different purposes) you can pay anywhere from $200 to $300. Don’t fret, though. There are more inexpensive models out there, though they usually feature wires and connections (the light has to be within 15 feet of the solar panel). The good thing, though, is they still use LEDs. This will run you anywhere from $60 to $100. If you want something more inexpensive, you can get a cheaper option with the same features (though it won’t provide nearly as bright light). You can get shed lighting, which is usually under $50.

If you’re still concerned about how reliable the lighting will be, get accent or decorative solar powered lights for your yard (you can even get solar tiki torches) and see how they work out. Once you’re comfortable with them, you can make the switch. You’ll never go back once you do.
