Solar Security Lights

When looking at solar power a lot of people first start with installing outdoor solar lighting systems on their property. They mostly think that such a system will make their garden more attractive and will allow them to take relaxing walks through the garden as their paths will be lighted. What not all people know is that outdoor solar lighting systems can also be used as solar security lights.

Solar security lights have the same concept of functioning as the outdoor solar lighting system has except for the fact that it does not light the garden all night long. Solar security lights have a moving sensor incorporated in their structure and every time someone walks through your property the lights will turn on and will let you know someone is out there. Such a system is useful for your family members if they come late from work or from a date and they need a lighted path towards the house. Intruders will also get surprised by the solar security lights and this way you can apply the needed measures before they do anything against you. Some of the solar security lights come even with an alarm attached to them and they can scare away and stranger from your property.

Solar security lights are easy to install as they do not require cables. They do not depend on the electricity that comes from your plugs as they make their own electricity from the solar energy.

Solar security lights have photovoltaic cells incorporated and they get their energy for lighting from the sun. This means your outdoor lighting is made for free. All you have to do is place the solar panel of the solar security lights in a place you know the sun light will reach it during the day. These solar panels are not attached to the solar security lights so they can be placed anywhere you like at any distance from the solar security light’s place of installment.

Sometimes the solar security light might turn on if a dog or a cat passes through the area that is kept under monitor. In order to avoid being disturbed every time this happens you need to fin tune the solar security system. Most of the solar security lights work with a 6V halogen bulb but the newer models have incorporated Light Emitting Diodes so don’t be surprised if you find such a thing on the market.

Solar security lights can be found in different capacities. Some might need only a few sun light exposures for providing a decent light during the night while some might need to stay longer in the sun light so that they can offer the same output as the previous ones. You should buy your solar security lights depending on the sunlight that is expected during the winter months in your area of residence.
