Wall Mounted Solar Lighting


InnoGear® Waterproof IP65 Solar Powered Light

When looking for new simple wall mounted lights for your home, solar lights would be the best way to go overall. Wall mounted solar lighting can be the best alternative to the regular electrical wall lights whether its for the front door, side doors, or your back doors. Solar lights can be placed anywhere outside where sunlight is visible, especially places like Gardens and Patio's. Check out our post on Gardens and Patio Solar Lights.

Solar lighting is the new way to light up your home and property. While you have many choices to illuminate your house, the most economical and ecologically sound way is to use solar power. Even if you don’t want to use solar power to run your entire home, you can still help lower your energy costs and use less non-renewable resources by using wall mounted solar lights.

When choosing solar lighting for your home, you have a few options. Electric lights may seem like the logical choice, but they can require other modifications to the outside of your house. You may need to run wires or extension cords so that you can power these lights and your electric bill will increase. Battery powered lighting doesn’t need cords, but they can be more expensive and time consuming to maintain even though a lot of newer solar powered lighting systems now comes with built in rechargable batteries. 


For instance, say there was not enough sunlight for a few cloudy days for the solar cells to power the lights all night, the batteries will kick in to power the lights for the rest of the day. When daytime comes, the solar cells will recharge while also recharging the batteries. An example product is the 850 Lumens 48 Led Solar Motion Lights, Ultra-slim Wireless Solar Lights/ Street Lighting / Outdoor Lights / Motion Security Lights - With Rechargeable 18650 Batteries (4400mah)

Wall mounted solar lighting is an excellent choice for the homeowner who doesn’t want to have to hassle with wires or expense, or go through the trouble of having to constantly take care of the equipment. Only tool that may be required is a screwdriver. Some wall mounted solar lights even comes with strong adhesive backs and/or wire hangers to be placed anywhere if you don't want to go through the trouble of placing holes in the wall.

The solar cells built into solar lighting products are strong enough to obtain a charge even on cloudy days, though that charge may be less than what you would get on a sunny day so you wouldn't need to worry about the lights going out. The solar cell can obtain enough solar energy on a sunny day to run the wall mounted lighting for eight hours at night. Many models also turn on automatically when the sun goes down, making them even better for safety and convenience.


Now when it comes to where you are placing the lights, there somethings you will need to take into consideration, simple things like styling, looks, and cost.

You can save money while adding value to your home by keeping it lit at night, and you can also feel good about your contribution to helping the environment. Even a small use of solar power cuts down on our dependence on fossil fuels and other resources, so choosing this type of lighting should make you feel good. If nothing else, it will also cut your electric bill and every little bit helps these days.
