Buying Solar Security Lights

Security lighting is a workhorse compared with solar lighting fixtures that
decorate the yard. Security lights must have more power, and be more durable and reliable than solar accent
lighting. Here are some tips to consider before you purchase your next solar security
lights.
You may not have many options for the location of your security light in order to provide maximum security
benefits. But this could cause problems when it comes to making sure that the solar panel component is exposed to
maximum sunlight so that the battery stays continuously charged.

For instance, if the security light needs to be affixed to a wall on the north side of a
building that has an overhanging roof , the fixture would receive no natural light at all. So make sure that the
product you buy is designed with a cable long enough to allow the solar panel to be located on top of the roof, or
on a south or west facing wall, where it will get maximum exposure to sunlight.
Make sure the solar security light is constructed of non-corrosive materials (stainless steel or plastic is
good) so that exposure to moisture will not prevent it from functioning. Weatherproof materials will keep the
floodlight operational even during bad weather, when you may need it the most.
Consider buying a solar security lights that uses LED technology.
Although it used to be true that LED lights were not as bright as halogen bulbs, there are now solar super bright
LED floodlights on the market that give off up to 50 watts, and are powerful enough to illuminate a flagpole. Not
only are LEDs a lighter load on the battery than halogen or incandescent bulbs, but they last as long as 20 years
without needing replacement. So you save on the cost of new bulbs, and there's greater assurance that your security
light will operate whenever you need it. More on LED solar security lights.
Personal alarm devices can also add to your peace of mind, These portable alarms are easy to
operate. In case of danger just activate it and the high pitch siren will draw attention. More on self defense weapons
