Solar Lights better known as landscaping lights are lights that are charged up during the day from the sun's light. At dusk, they turn on automatically, and remain illuminated overnight, depending on how much sunlight they receive during the day. They must be placed in a position where they receive as much direct sunlight as possible during the day, as solar lights can fail to illuminate at night if placed in shady positions. Depending on the brand, some solar lights will not illuminate on rainy or cloudy days because they have not been able to recharge without sunlight. Solar lights are generally waterproof if sealed correctly. Most brands require rechargeable batteries, which are charged by solar power during the day, and can last up to 12 months. Solar lights do not provide as much light as a standard electrical lighting system, but they are easily installed and maintained, and provide a much cheaper alternative to electrical based products.
