A question we frequently get...

******

Why does solar lighting not work?

Simply put, it is a matter of physics. The bulb and the battery inside are just too small. To obtain a usable amount of light to adequately illuminate the subject requires a level of power that the small battery inside solar fixtures just cannot supply. Most have a small AA size rechargeable battery connected to a LED (Light Emitting Diode) type bulb. The solar panel charges the battery during the day, but once the sun goes down, it is up to the battery to power the LED (light bulb). Though very efficient, it still produces an insignificant amount of light, barely enough to make the fixture faintly glow.

So what would work? Our engineer did some calculations, and to power a typical 20 Watt professional landscape lighting fixture for a few hours using a solar system would take a battery about the size of a riding lawn mower battery. And to charge it, would take a 1 x 3 foot 15 Watt solar panel. Try squeezing that into a small light fixture. To do it right takes some power, although surprisingly less than you might think. The halogen type bulbs used in our fixtures are very efficient and require only 20 Watts to provide enough light to fully illuminate a small tree or all the way up a two-story brick face of a house.

LED lighting is currently available from Lightscape FX. These revolutionary lighting sources have been gradually increasing in intensity and in recent years have made great strides. We offer, as an option, an LED  in the standard MR16 configuration, that uses a fraction of the power for the same output. The most amazing thing about LED lighting is that it last a very long time. Typical bulb life is 50,000 hours compared to 4,000 to 10,000 for standard halogen bulbs. (Contact us for more information.) These LED lamps will still need to be supplied external power. Our systems all use lights that are supplied power from a buried cable tied to a remote transformer. This ensures adequate power.
