Do you really want to decorate your home for the holidays, but you do not want to waste energy and contribute to global warming? Well, with solar Christmas lights you can. And the best part is that these lights are free to operate and easy to install.
Technology improvements mean that you can save money and still decorate your home with Christmas lights during the holiday season. And just like all other solar lights, installation is quick and easy. The only caveat is that you must place them in direct sunlight so that the solar panel can collect the sun’s energy and charge the battery. But the great thing is you no longer have to deal with messy extension cords.
Turning on the Lights
Your solar Christmas lights have a sensor that automatically turns on the lights when the sun sets. With a fully charged battery, the lights can run from 9 – 15 hours. On overcast days the battery will probably not receive a full charge so you will probably get 7 -10 hours.
Although solar Christmas lights are a great alternative to traditional electric lights, there are still some drawbacks. They are not available in as many styles as electric lights. The bulb styles are not many. You can pretty much choose from three colors (red, green, and yellow) and a few light bulb styles (oval and teardrop).
