4 unexpected benefits of solar garden lamps

If you’re looking for a way to freshen up your garden and make it more inviting, you may want to consider adding garden lamps to give your garden more life.

Apart from the practical benefits of lighting your garden at night, they also add style and atmosphere.

If you’re looking for garden lighting, you may still be unsure what is best for you. There is a wide range of garden lighting products on the market, each unique and unparalleled in its own way. Today on the Elmark blog we will tell you a little more about so-called solar garden lamps. As their name implies, their energy source is the sun and they are as attractive in appearance as they are functional

 

 

 

How to integrate solar garden lamps into garden lighting

If you have already installed garden lamps, you are sure to know how time-consuming and expensive it is to install cables and a power supply.

Fortunately there is a very practical solution to this problem that will not cost you any effort, time or nerves: solar garden lamps.

These are a great alternative to traditional garden lighting and quite apart from the fact that in practice their power supply is free, they have the advantages of being simply and effectively made and being easy to set up anywhere in your garden.

In addition, they are easy to maintain because they use solar energy instead of electricity, which means that each lamp is self-sufficient and will give you years of problem-free service.

This way you can seamlessly integrate your solar garden lamps into your existing garden lighting without overloading your electrical installation and your electricity bill.

In addition to all this, here are 4 more unexpected advantages of solar garden lamps.

 

 

 

1. Solar garden lamps do not need electricity

Although at first glance this may be obvious from their name, a lot of people are still sceptical about whether solar garden lamps can really be powered solely by the sun.

It’s normal to have these doubts but they will be quickly dispelled when you get your own lamp. However, to make it easier, we will briefly look at the design of solar garden lamps to help you better understand how they work and why they can operate without electricity.

Each lamp has a built-in solar panel that collects solar energy and converts it into electricity, which is then collected and stored in a built-in rechargeable battery.

Due to the nature of solar radiation, it is logical that the charging process occurs during daylight hours.

When the sun goes down, the photocell automatically turns on the LED lights in the solar garden lamps and turns them off when the sun rises in the morning.

Because LED lights are amazingly energy efficient, they can stay alight for a very long time. Usually a solar lamp can provide continuous light for 6 to 10 hours.

The great advantage is that these solar garden lamps are self-adjusting and self-contained, which means you won't have to provide them with a power supply or have to worry about turning them on or off. All they need is access to direct sunlight.

 

 

 

2. You can place your solar garden lamps virtually anywhere

Since solar garden lamps do not need a power supply unlike traditional garden lamps, you can virtually put your solar garden lamps wherever you wish.

Each garden has its own characteristics that sometimes prevent us from modelling it the way we want, e.g. due to the need to install a power or water supply.

This limits our options, especially when it comes to garden lighting. However, this problem does not arise with solar garden lamps.

You can put them anywhere, even in hard-to-reach places where it is impossible to run cables or a power supply. This allows you to illuminate objects in your garden that you want to highlight in a way that was impossible before.

 

 

 

3. There is a huge variety of solar garden lamps

From the above, you may be under the impression that the variety of models and illumination of solar garden lamps is limited by the way they work.

Now is the time to completely dispel this impression: there is a huge variety of solar garden lamps. While some models are more elegant than others, some have stronger light than others. There is a large number of variations allowing everyone to choose lighting to meet their needs and wishes. Brightness is perhaps one of the key factors to consider when choosing solar garden lamps and garden lighting in general.

Many people choose a low-price option which, however, turns out to provide dim lighting and the end result is unsatisfactory. It is advisable to buy brighter lamps.

Another variable factor with solar garden lamps is their battery capacity. If you need more light, you should logically choose lamps with a higher battery capacity as they can collect and store more converted electrical energy.

Style cannot be overlooked and is very often a key factor in consumer choice.

Solar garden lamps come in many and varied styles, so you need to have a clear idea of what you want and tailor it to the decor in your garden.

Note also that the designs of some models affect the brightness of the emitted light. The glass of the lamp itself is also very important.

4. By installing solar lights, your garden will be more environmentally friendly

Last but not least, we would like to draw your attention to another major advantage of solar garden lamps.

They are more ecological, greener and more environmentally friendly because they do not use man-made electricity; only what nature gives us for free: solar energy.

If you are aware of how important it is to care for our natural environment and protect it as much as possible, this is all the more reason to get solar lamps for your garden.

They will work independently without needing anything in return and without loading your electricity bill. Get an affordable and effective way to light your garden!
