Solar outdoor lighting is the simplest and safest way to light to the landscape environment. Solar powered lighting requires no electricity, wiring or transformers. The cost savings over conventional 12v and 120v outdoor lighting is tremendous. The solar cells simply collect sunlight during the day and recharges the lithium batteries. Each unit has a photo control so that the lights automatically come on at dusk. The normal operating “discharge” time is 8-10 hours when fully charged. The lights then recharge themselves again during the next day.
