solar lighting reviews
Who here actually owns solar garden lights – any pictures of your own in use/reviews?

please can i have your reviews
Yep, I do. I’ve found the plastic ones are pretty much junk. The metal ones last much longer. They must get sun most of the day for them to stay lit all night. There is one kind that comes with wires and a separate collector so your lights can be placed in the shade and the collector stays in the sun all day.
It’s the old adage You get what you pay for.

solar lantern batteries
Is it better to recharge batteries in series or in parallel?
I have 2 6-volt rechargeable lantern batteries, and 1 6-volt solar panel.
Would it be better to recharge then in series or in parallel?
I asked this 3 times in the environmental groups and never got a single answer, so maybe one of these “scientifically enlightened” evolutionist can answer. I will just have to make sure I do the opposite of what they say so that I will have it right.
You can charge batteries in either series or parallel – the issue is not just the method of connection but also the voltage you can apply.
Two 6-volt batteries connected in parallel requires 6 volts of charge because each battery “sees” the charger individually. In series, they need 12 volts to charge because the charging current passes through both batteries before completing the circuit.
So you need to recharge from your solar

Help with a simple outdoor solar lighting system?
Hello, I want to have some light on my shed.
I was thinking on solar lighting. I have a 8xAA rechargeable battery from a toy car and I’m going to buy a solar panel, what kind do I need?
Do I need something else? What is a “solar panel controller”?
How I connect everything? What kind of bulbs are better?
Lots of questions! Thanks for your help!

Solar powered landscape lighting is becoming very popular these days and was even featured on Good Morning America, August 28, 2008. There is really no reason to use traditional wired landscape lighting unless there are areas of the garden that just do not get enough sunlight. Solar lighting is powered by the sun and must have some sunlight in order to operate properly. Five hours of sunlight is usually enough to keep the battery charged and ready for operation come nightfall. The lights use a photoelectric cell that turns them on at dusk and off in the morning.
Solar Lights are made from a variety of materials, such as plastic, metal or stainless steel. The lighting mechanism is almost always LED lights. LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) are quite bright, draw very little current and last a very long time, typically up to 50,000 hours. There is a battery to store the
