When to use a Solar Powered Motion Light
Let’s face it, solar motion lights are not the brightest security lights available. Most of these solar lights put out a fraction of the lumens a normal hardwired light would put out. This to due to the power generation of the solar panels and battery capacity. Due to the size of these lights, the panels and battery are not large enough to maintain high energy outputs. That does not mean that they are not bright.
Most people who purchase these solar motion sensor lights use them in location where it’s not effective to hardwire. For example, I am looking to instal my light on a wood fence towards the rear of the yard. It’s quite dark back there, and I just wanted some light.
There are a few benefits to Solar Motion Lights – Outdoor Solar Security Lights.
1 Is the portability factor, they can be installed almost anywhere so long as they can receive direct sunlight.
