Lamps for giving solar-powered are a new word in country lighting. They do not need to connect wires, do not consume expensive electricity, that is, they do not require such care as ordinary lights. However, it is worth considering the issue in more detail in order to understand what advantages and disadvantages these lamps can have.
Such garden solar lights are best installed in places where it is not possible to stretch the electric cable, but there is a need for diffused light. It is appropriate to use them on alpine hills, on the surface of reservoirs in the coastal zone of the pond, on the edge of the mixborder. These lights give a very weak light, which does not interfere with their use to obtain a wonderful decorative effect.
Solar garden lights can be mounted literally in minutes: you just need to stick a plastic pin into the ground. It is important to remember that they should not be placed in the shade, as sunlight must certainly fall on the battery panel during the day, even if it is cloudy outside. That is why luminaires for summer cottages should be installed where foliage of garden plants will not obscure the sun. If you cannot see the diffused pale flickering of a flashlight from a track or from a porch in the dark, you need to change its position.
Lamps for giving
solar-powered work on a very simple principle. The accumulated charge of the
solar battery after dark will automatically turn on the diode bulb equipped with a mirror reflector. From afar, these lights are very similar to fireflies. The devices are equipped with nickel-cadmium batteries that can provide about a thousand charge-discharge cycles. Expensive models of luminaires allow you to get lighting up to 10-12 hours when the battery is fully charged. If the day was cloudy, then the lanterns burn not so brightly and not so long.
It is important to understand that lamps for summer cottages with solar batteries should not be considered as the main constant source of light. They are not able to adequately illuminate the most important places in the garden, for example, a staircase,
retaining wall or bridge near a reservoir. These devices bear a greater decorative load. At the moment, the range of such lamps is quite limited. They are mainly produced in the form of a gas flashlight, flowers, animals, spheres. There are original models made in the form of soap bubbles, as well as beautiful floating lamps for giving solar-powered. Transparent or matte floats that emit light look quite harmonious, attractive and very unusual on the surface of water bodies.
Using such simple devices as lamps, you can make your garden really beautiful and elegant. Fans of landscape design have long appreciated how spectacular any corner of the garden looks with them at night.
