Gardening Lights
Saw this... thought I'd post it. I didn't write it- but it's more of a note to self... buy these. The End.
Ultra-Bright Double Spotlight
I’ve said it before, I have a soft spot for solar. The idea of us having so much grief over energy when the surface of our planet is being constantly bombarded by solar energy just seems so absurd on so many levels. Now, I understand that for a whole heck of a lot of applications solar is just not a practical solution. Panels that put out any kind of REAL power are expensive to make and therefore expensive to buy. But that doesn’t mean that we should do everything we can to capitalize on this relatively free energy whenever it is practical.
Like garden lighting; a host of companies are making practical, usable pathway lighting at reasonable costs. Until recently, however, most of the solar powered spots were a bit lacking. I have a friend who installed a pair of bargain basement garden spots on the side of a building to light up a sign. He carefully measured out and mounted the spots, aimed the solar panels at the sun, and that night walked and looked up at the sign. I won’t repeat what he said but let’s just say you could sort of tell they were on but that was about it.
These 16 LED equipped spots show promise, however. They light from dusk till dawn, and are bright enough to actually be considered spots. In addition, unlike the cheap ones you find out there, you can put the solar panel up to 15 feet away so you can even put the spots inside and have the panel outside. In any case if you need to light up statuary in your garden, or need to light up the inside of your shed. This might just be the eco-friendly solution you have been looking for. The Ultra-Bright Double Spotlight is available from gardeners.com for $89.95
