Solar lights are really easy to install in your 
garden. 
All you have to do is to decide on the site you 
want to lit and stick the fixture in the ground. 
Best of all they don't need electricity. 
Some will come with a small built in solar panel 
on the top; other will have a removable panel 
that you can place at a sunny and convenient 
location. 
 
During the day the solar panel linked to an 
electronic circuit, charges the batteries. When 
night begins to falls a photocell detects the 
changes in luminosity and switch on the light. 
At sunrise the light switches off and the 
charging cycle starts again. 
 
Assuming the batteries are fully charged, good 
quality solar lights will provide illumination 
all night long without any problem. 
NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) or NiMH (Nickel Metal 
Hydride) Batteries are often used in solar 
lighting applications. They will last 2 or 3 
years and are easily replaceable 
 
Most modern solar lights use LED (Light Emitting 
Diode) technology. 
Contrary to usual light bulbs, LED's power 
consumption is very low, thus providing more 
lighting time. 
In addition, LED's are very reliable and can last 
a very long time. 
 
Maintenance wise, the only thing required is to 
clean the solar panel once in a while. 
Regularly removing the build up dust with a soft 
clothe, will guarantee optimum performance. 
 
Do not expect solar garden lights to deliver an 
extremely bright luminosity. 
Their main purpose is to create a pleasant 
atmosphere at night. 
Very nice accent lighting can be obtained when 
the lights are well located. 
 
Solar garden lights can be found in a multitude 
of designs and for many purposes. 
In addition to the simple and common fixture, you 
can find for example floating solar lights for 
swimming pools or ponds, solar deck lights, solar 
pathway lights. 
 
Solar lights are not limited to gardens; in my 
next article I will give you an idea about some 
other interesting solar lighting applications.
