Polaris Solar Flat Top

Solar lighting products provide an accent to deck and/or fence installations. Technology available today has brought solar powered lighting to the deck industry in a price range that is affordable to the typical deck customer. Solar technology currently available is accent lighting, and should be sold as such. Solar powered lighting does not provide the kind of area lighting that low voltage or line voltage lighting will provide. Power to recharge the batteries is provided by the natural sunlight. Solar lights have LED bulbs, and NiCad batteries. The batteries charge during the day, and the photo-eye activates the LED lights at dusk. Run time is based on the season and location. Northern climates will have a run time during the summer of 8 – 14 or more hours, and 3 – 6 hours during the winter months. The amount of sunlight is a direct correlation to run time – cloudy days will effect the run time. These lights need direct sunlight to charge the battery. Mounting under trees, under eves, etc., will inhibit the ability to charge.
