Typical anatomy of solar motion lights

Passive Infrared Motion Detector - The motion detector triggers the light when any movement is sensed within a 180 degree radius. It can cover a distance of 10 to 20 meters. On good Solar security lights , the sensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted, in order to make sure that cats, dogs and other animals do not activate the light inopportunely. The lighting period can also be adjusted from few seconds to minutes. On some solar security lights for example, an interesting option is the built-in sound alarm. The siren and the light are triggered at the sane time. This sound feature can be turned-off.

Solar Panel - The solar panel is a stand-alone component that connects to the solar security light by a long wire. In most cases the length of cable gives enough flexibility for positioning the panel in a convenient and sunny place. The sole duty of the solar panel is to charge the battery during the day.

Light Bulb - In general, 6 volt halogen bulbs are used on solar motion detector lights . However, super bright LEDs (Led Emitting Diodes) are beginning to appear on new solar security lights. LEDs put less load on the battery, resulting in a much longer operating time. In addition to that, you will probably never need to change the LED bulbs as they are designed to run up to 100,000 Hours.

Red Check

Battery - A 6 volt rechargeable sealed lead acid battery is commonly used for this kind of solar lights. Such batteries can last 2 to 4 years without any maintenance involved. On LED solar security lights, because of the low power consumption of LEDs AA type rechargeable batteries are used.

Solar powered security lights come in a wide variety, suiting every budgets and applications. When it comes to security lighting, don't go for cheap makes. Home security is important.

when installing solar security lights, a very important thing to keep in mind, is to fasten the fixture high enough, so that no one can tamper with it. Once installed, it takes 2 or 3 days for the solar light battery to be well charged and ready to operate. As always with solar lights, the solar panel needs to be cleaned regularly.
