Will outdoor solar lighting charge properly if they are placed in a semi-shaded area?
I would like to place them under my carport which is covered by a lattice screen. Will they get enough indirect sunlight there to make them work properly?
Is there research or products for solar power to lighting?
We’ve heard CFL or other ways a light bulb can maximize its effeciency with least energy.
We’ve also heard solar panels improving on harnessing sun light.
BUT, are there products that directly harness solar power for the sole purpose of using the power for lighting?
(collect light during day, make light during night)
spam links will be reported.
flourescent materials? sounds fun, but how long do they last?
What can I do to get my neighbors to TONE DOWN their excessive outdoor lighting?
One neighbor has 5 outdoor street lights (to light the cow field–DUH) and the other has 2 to light a small house. I can hardly see the stars and the glare is outrageous–not to mention the electricity wasted.
what are some problems that people have with solar lighting systems?
Also what does it entail to maintain lighting systems and do these have any warranties??
Does anyone know where I can buy an outdoor lighting fixture?
I want to replace my outdoor wall-mounted light by my front door. The one I have now also has an outlet on it. I find this very handy to plug in my weed whacker, etc. I can’t seem to find an outdoor light that comes with the outlet. Have they been discontinued?
Thanks HVAC, I did check in those stores. I guess they don’t make them anymore.
Is solar lighting any good for a north facing garden which is close to the house, ie in shade all day?
Do they work well?
Why does my outdoor lighting system turn on every night for about half a second and then turn off?
I have an outdoor lighting system for my front walkway. It is powered by a Malibu ML200RT Low Voltage Transformer. When the transformer is plugged in, and the timer turns the system on, all the lights turn on for about half a second and then they turn off the whole night until the next day, when the processes repeats.
I opened up the Malibu transformer and it was filled with water. So, I kept it open for a few days to let it dry. It’s now been dry inside my house for over 10 days. However, I still have the same problem. The lights will turn on briefly and then off, I can’t get it to repeat until the next day. What’s odd is that the Malibu’s internal timer keeps working. I’m assuming the Malibu transformer is the problem since it was filled with water. However, who knows? It’s worked fine for about three years or so.
One other detail, the lights on the walk way are Malibu 11 watt CS14P lights. There are 10 of them.
Can I fix the transformer or do I have to buy a new one?
outdoor lighting?
Reduce the use of electricity. By changing how outdoor lighting is directed.
With globe lights, the light disperses everywhere. However, if the light was focused towards the ground, similar to the way a flashlight focuses light, then less electricity would be needed to light up a particular area
How do we inform architects about this aspect of sustainability?
How much solar powered interior lighting save than normal light bulbs? And how much will installation cost?
Please tell me the amount of money solar power light bulbs cost and how much installlation will be.
