Are Solar Outdoor Lights Worth It?
Unless you want to deal with the unknown variables of intermittent sunlight, cloudy days, solar light battery replacements and other inconveniences, the direct answer is no – solar outdoor lights are not worth it.
While solar lights may offer the benefits of being environmentally friendly and easy to install, professionally custom designed and installed LED outdoor lights provide superior performance in terms of reliability, brightness, and flexibility.
Can you spot the solar light?
They simply and unequivocally offer consistent illumination, advanced features, and longer lifespans; and they are a better investment for enhancing evening illumination, beautification, safety, security, and curb appeal in Nashville.
Which Are Better, LED Or Solar Lights?
If you’re keeping score, here are the advantages of OLP LED outdoor lights over solar lights.
1. LED Outdoor Lights Deliver Consistent Performance And Reliable Brightness
Our superior grade LED outdoor lights provide consistent and bright illumination regardless of weather conditions. In contrast, solar lights depend on sunlight, and their performance can diminish on cloudy days or during winter months.
Another huge benefit of our LED outdoor lights is that they can be precisely controlled for consistent light output, rendering the highlights and illumination effects you desire most. Solar lights have variable brightness output depending on the amount of sunlight absorbed.
2. Energy Efficiency And Cost-Effectiveness Of Our LED Outdoor Lights
If one of your goals is to save money on energy bills, LED lights are highly energy-efficient, using up to 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs.
While they require an electricity source, the cost to run LEDs is relatively low due to their efficiency.
And as for long life, you will never have to change a battery of any kind as our LED outdoor lights have an extremely long illumination lifespan
compared to solar lights.
Our LED outdoor lights can last up to 25,000 to 50,000 hours, significantly longer than the batteries in solar lights.
3. Enjoy Enhanced Safety And Security With Our LED Outdoor Lights
You will receive Immediate Full Brightness with our LED lights as they reach full brightness instantly, providing immediate illumination for safety and security. You never have to wait for them to brighten while waiting.
In contrast, solar lights take a moment to reach full brightness and can dim over time if the battery is low.
4. Aesthetic And Functional Design Benefits Of LED Outdoor Lights
OLP Nashville LEDs are available in various designs, colors, and temperatures, allowing for customized lighting effects that enhance beautification and curb appeal. They can be used for accent lighting, pathway illumination, landscape highlighting, and more.
And rather than broadcasting an overall glow that is basically inefficient, our OLP LEDs provide focused, directional lighting, which is ideal for highlighting specific areas, features, exterior colors and textures.
Solar lights often provide more diffused, less directed light.
5. Dependability Of LED Outdoor Lights
OLP LEDs have an interrupted constant power supply, connected to the electrical grid to provide reliable illumination without the risk of running out of stored solar energy.
Solar lights, on the other hand, may not provide consistent lighting throughout the night, especially after several cloudy days.
How Long Do Solar Yard Lights Last?
The replaceable batteries that solar outdoor lights use have a lifespan of 1 to 3 years when well maintained.
The rechargeable batteries in solar lights are usually the first component to wear out. They have to be replaced when they no longer hold a charge efficiently.
What Is The Downside Of Solar Lights?
• Constant dependence on Nashville sunlight
• They don’t function in shaded areas
• They offer much less light output
• Their degree of brightness are highly variable
• Possibly worst of all, the plastic and other materials used in many solar lights can degrade over time due to UV exposure and weather conditions
Why Don't My Solar Lights Stay On All Night?
If your solar outdoor lights aren't staying on all night, there could be several reasons that are most likely affecting their performance:
- Insufficient sunlight
- Dirty solar panels
- Aging batteries
- Cloudy and rainy days here in Nashville
- Shorter days during the winter months
- Improper placement in your landscape
- Loose connections
- Excessive runtimes
- Extreme Nashville temperatures
