There is absolutely no stopping technology, and as a result we are now seeing the use of solar LED Christmas lights. These lights are just as effective and beautiful when powered up for display, the only difference being, there will never be extra charges on the holiday electricity bill! There is no difficulty in using solar Christmas lights and the benefits are amazing.
How Do Solar LED Christmas Light Work?
These lights are sold with a sensor attached, along with a solar panel and a rechargeable battery. This allows for charging during the day and lighting in the night. The function of the sensor is twofold since it alerts the panel when the solar LED Christmas lights are charged, and it also sends an indicator to the lights at dusk. This indicator causes the LED lights to automatically begin lighting after sunset, and to cease lighting at dawn.
Long Lasting
Solar LED Christmas lights will usually stay lit for about eight to ten hours once fully charged. The cycle then repeats itself again with the recharging of the battery by the sun. The battery used with this product is usually NiMh or NiCad, which are known for their effective storage of power. However, even if the battery is charged and not used, eventually over a period of approximately three months it would need recharging. It is highly recommended that once each month the battery should receive a full charge, and then be fully discharged as these batteries have a memory that will remember the highest charge. Subsequent charges will only go to the level in the memory.
The Main Advantage of Solar LED Christmas Lights
As the name implies, these lights are powered by the sun. The energy saving element of solar powered LED lights is the best benefit of all, since electricity is not required to enjoy the beauty of these lights throughout the night. The financial savings enjoyed by the user of these lights are incredible over the Christmas season. An electricity bill can be reduced by $95.00 to $120.00 over the season when these lights are used instead of the usual incandescent filament bulbs.
Other Advantages
Solar LED Christmas lights are affordable since the initial cost will always be less than the savings accumulated on the electricity bill over a period of time. When using solar powered lights, there are no restrictions due to the location of an electrical outlet. There is also absolutely no need for extension cords to be untidily displayed. Lights can be set anywhere, once the panel and battery is fully exposed to the sun. These lights are environmentally friendly, because a reduction in energy being used brings the world closer to a solution for global warming.
These are just a few of the benefits derived from solar LED Christmas lights. LED lights, on the whole, are the safest to use because heat is not emitted and they cannot be easily broken. Solar LED Christmas lights are sold in a variety of colors and designs. What a gift to give yourself this Christmas season beautifully lit Christmas decorations that wont run up the power bill!
