Functional Long Lasting Solar Powered Lighting
You don’t have to sacrifice style for highly functional outdoor lighting fixtures while maintaining a low environmental footprint. Solar powered lighting has developed to a stage where it’s become affordable as well as stylish so you don’t have to feel guilty about sprucing up your home outside and keeping your family safe at the same time. It’s not hard to see why solar lighting has become as successful as it has today but before major industrial companies purchase any solar powered lighting systems and kits they do some research and so should you.
Understanding how solar energy works
In a nutshell it’s the process of harnessing or capturing the energy of the sun through devices manufactured from crystalline silicon technology and sometimes from amorphous and other thin film based technologies. This technology is then compacted into panels whose main focus is to receive as much sunlight as possible and in turn converting this energy into electricity and saving it into battery packs for use at later intervals. This method of industrial solar powered lighting is completely harmless to the environment and offers no toxins, chemicals, radiation or any other form of damage to people or the planet.
Now there are various different types of solar units available on the market and each with different levels of supplying voltage based on the size of the solar panels, and this also means variations in price. Some units are designed to best suit small environments like garden sheds or caravans so make sure you know what you need it for.
Solar Mate is a company that manufactures solar powered lighting systems that will best suit your needs and your budget. Here are some of their products available on the market:
Solar Mate 1 – A solar powered lighting system in a box features all the fixings you need to install and get the kit up and running in no time. Ideal for individuals that need it for smaller buildings like garden sheds, garages or small offices. When used will illuminate an area comprising 16 square meters.
Solar Mate 2 – Slightly similar to Solar Mate 1 but is best suited for larger areas that need lighting like green houses. This solar powered lighting kit is capable of illuminating up areas up to 32 square meters for up to 7 hours a day.
Solar Mate 3 – Also comprising all the fixings you need to mount this industrial system it’s suitable to light up large areas outdoors like caravans, and outdoor houses especially useful in areas that don’t have any mains or easy sources to power. Able to light up areas up to 32 square meters but it can do so for up to 11 hours a day.
Although some industrial solar powered lighting kits like the above are designed to work with fluorescent bulbs that do work well, have a look at Solar Powered systems that operate with Leds. Leds are the market leaders providing a lifespan of up to 60,000 hours of light which overshadows fluorescent bulbs that only offer up to 20,000 hours of life.
