Motion Lighting Using Solar Power

     Motion Lighting Using Solar Power

Motion lighting is very convenient security platform for homes. Solar motion lamps take the benefits to the next level with more efficiency and reduced utility bills.

Flood and Security Lights

Motion sensor lamps can be an excellent choice for your home. These lamps offer the security of having a bright light shine into the eyes of any would be intruder, thus deterring them from staying on your property. There are several different types of motion lamps available for the protection of your family and home, but the best option by far is to use solar motion lamps. Here is an example of a great security light with motion sensor

Solar power is a clean and ecologically sound alternative to electric, battery and other sources of power. There is no pollution produced, no non-renewable resources used, and it costs far less than other power sources. Even if you don’t choose to use solar power for all your household needs, you can still help the environment by choosing solar motion lamps. Every small bit of solar power used decreases the world’s usage of less ecological methods.


Landscape Path Lights

While there is the wall mounted flood and security solar lights, they're other ways to protect the house from the time someone enters the driveway or walkway. Path Lights are one of the best 1st barrier security methods for a low cost and being very simple in installation, it's nothing more than sticking the path lights into the ground. Landscapers are also known for spicing up gardens with these types of solar lights.  Here is an idea of what a Solar Landscape Path Light will look like
 
 

Solar Patio Table Lamps

Another great use for the solar motion sensor lights on a night out with the family on the patio are some patio table lamps. These little guys can be left outside on the patio tables and at night while you may be entertaining the family and guest, you can use the lights without using electricity. Here is an example of  some simple solar patio table lamps.

Solar motion lamps work by collecting solar power during the day through solar cells located on the light. This solar energy is used to recharge a battery (usually a NiCad rechargeable battery), which in turn powers the lamp at night. Some models of solar motion lamps include solar panels that are strong enough to collect energy even in overcast conditions, making the lamp even more useful. Motion lamps also have settings to customize. You can set the duration that the lamp shines when it detects motion (any where from .5 minute to three minutes), as well as being able to position it so that it can detect motion up to 90 feet away. The trigger for the motion lamp is a passive infrared motion detector that is safe for use around all people and animals, and does not require additional high tech equipment. You also have the choice of mounting your solar motion lamps on a post (this will be provided) or on the side of your house or garage.


So in all, solar motion lamps are an excellent way to keep your home and property safe from intruders and other problems, all while being cheaper and more “green” than other choices to secure the perimeter, brighten up the walk way, or spice up a garden. If you need just one or many, the solar powered versions of motion lamps are the easiest choice for your lighting needs.
