It varies from light to light, but typically it uses 1 AA(1.5V) or 2 AA's in series(3V). The solar light that uses 1 AA usually contains a "boost converter", which steps up the voltage to about 3V to pwer the white LED.

Can you replace landscaping lights with a 2450 mAh battery when is has a 600 mAh battery in it?
Yes as long as both the 2450 mAh battery and 600 mAh battery have the same voltage. The larger one will just last longer and take longer to charge up (I am assuming these are the solar powered type lights).
What is the Maximum output of solar cell in voltage?
i beleve it is 12 volts
Can you hook more than one solar battery charger in series to charge a 36 volt system?
It is important for solar battery charger output voltage to match voltage of battery system being charged. Voltage is additive in series circuits, therefore 3 12VDC solar battery chargers connected in series would provide correct output to charge a 36VDC system.
What is output short circuit current?
The output short circuit current is the solar cell's current when the voltage is zero, or when it, is short circuited.
How does the output voltage of a solar cell depend on thearea of the solar cell exposed to the light?
because the out put voltage of a solar cell is directly proportional to the area of the solar cell exposed to sun light. Testing your solar cell with the application of shading will cause a loss of power and lower voltage and current at the peak power point, However, if you are measuring open circuit voltage only, and this is only one cell, not a collection of solar cells making up one solar panel, the open circuit voltage will stay almost the same until full shade is applied. I would need more information on the solar cells such as are there many in one panel that you are testing or just one solar cell. Is it an array you are testing or just one panel? I will assume it is one panel since you said "solar cells". This means the first statement I made holds in that the open circuit voltage will change very little with the application of shade. A better test is to measure the short circuit current flow. Short the output leads together and measure the maximum current yo can get in full sun light. Now apply your shading and continue measuring the current. Make up a table Shade---------------------Current Measured 0%--------------------------2 amps 10%------------------------1.8 amps . . . 80%-----------------------0.4 amps Now repeat the measurements only this time open circuit the solar cells, no load of any kind, just the voltmeter. Shade-----------------------Volts 0%---------------------------35 volts 10%-------------------------35 volts 50%------------------ To complete the testing use a variable resistor and a watt meter. Make a table recording the the shading and maximum power you could develop and the voltage across the resistor. For instance, in full sun light, adjust the resistance until you get the peak or maximum power reading on your watt meter.
Are solar lights or low voltage lights better for my front walkway?
They ae better for being energy efficient and saving on your electricity bill,also better for the eniornment,there will plenty of light.
Can you use regular batteries in solar lights or should they be rechargeable?
Yes you can use regular batteries in solar lights but it won't work on some solar lights like the inwood solar lights but some inwood solar lights can run on regular batteries. But some solar lights can only work on rechargeable batteries and come on at dusk and off at dawn or after six hours.
Who invented the solar powered lights?
Charles Fritt created a solar powered led lights.
There are 2 kinds of lighting flat lighting and chiaroscuro lighting?
lighting is so also ok there are further types including flourescent and solar and low voltage lights
Where can I purchase solar lights for my deck?
There are many places to buy solar lights in a variety of colors. You can purchase a set of 12 solar lights that change colors from www.overstock.com for approximately $70.00.
Address for Westinghouse solar garden lights?

A source of DC voltage that converts light to voltage is a?
that is called solar cell which converts light(photons) to D.C voltage .the amplitude of voltage depend on how many solar cell are you joined in seies a solar cell normally produce 0.6-0.7 V D.C
How do solar streetlights work?
solar street lights work by a solar panel.
Does Kichler Landscape Lighting carry solar lights?
Yes, Kichler landscape lighting does carry solar lights. Although their selection is limited, they do carry a few different solar items. They have solar panels as well as a few different lights.
