Any brand is good. Just check for voltage (or wattage – I am not sure on this) – they come in different strength. It depends how bright you want the lights to be. Usually you can buy them in garden centres, or DIY stores with garden centre, but these places would usually stock cheep and cheerfull lights. If you want something prittier or desighner stuff (you know, you can get brick-shaped solar lights, then you just incorporate them in your garden path or wall design) then a lighting centre is the place to go. They have loads of them on ebay too, especially in ebay stores.
I want to know what will provide excellent spotlighting for the landscape and will hold full charge providing great lighting throughout the night. Also what is easy to install. I want the most for my money
NONE ! Sorry to put it that way but there is no such thing a a good solar landscape light. Even though other will probably chime in saying they have some they like. You need to go with a 12 volt system which you can install yourself or the 120 volt which you will need an electrician.
I’ve found some $50-80 solar panels for 15 watts of power used to keep ATV or boat batteries charged. Will these panels be able to be used to power my on-at-dusk light bulbs or will I have to buy other adaptive equipment?
This would be my first solar panel purchase and I’m wanting to be able to add panels as I can and as I learn how to use them effectively.
To run lights…you will need solar panels which charge the batteries and an inverter to run the lights…the lights will have to be wired to this…(this is just a basic rundown)…for more info go to your local store…check yellow pages..to discuss what you will need at a specialized store for solar (not hardware store)..then you will have a better idea of what you need and how it works in more detail.
Can someone help me in finding the best domestic solar power equipment suppliers in AP. I am looking for both lighting and water heating systems.
Check on the net
I just want to try this as an experiment?
also, I would like to do the same with wind?
is there an inexpensive way of conducting these experiments?
Light bulb requires more current that make the size of solar cells panel quite big and very expensive. You may choose a LED to do the same lighting experiment.
Buy 4 solar cells,hook them up in series. It produces 2 volts or less depending on the light source. Choose the solar cell
able to provide 10ma or more. Choose any small size of LED, red LED is the best choice, Make sure it is the 1.6 volt
3 to 6 ma type. Do not use the lazer LED,it requires 3 volts and more current rate. Connect cell output positive to the LED anode. Negative to the cathod. put it under the sun,LED shall light up.
