How to Choose Between Battery Powered, Solar or Electric Light Fixtures
While the design of a light fixture is often at the forefront of a buyer's mind, it is also important to consider the energy source. Most varieties of outdoor lighting systems are available in the following three categories: electric, solar or battery powered. Each style will have benefits and disadvantages. Solar lights are ecofriendly and easy to set up. However, they will only work correctly in areas that receive a substantial amount of direct sunlight each day. Battery powered lights will work in shaded areas but can be expensive to maintain since the batteries will need to be replaced frequently. Electric light fixtures are the most reliable and are energy efficient, but they must be hardwired into your electrical system. Most property owners will utilize a combination of all three, depending on their unique needs. For instance, electric wall light fixtures are most practical for your front porch, back exterior wall and garage since they are used most frequently and are in areas close to existing electrical wiring. Battery powered lights can work well for covered decks and patios, while solar lights can provide additional lighting in sunny locations.
Tips for Successful Installation
Both battery powered and solar lighting options can be easily installed by most property owners. Simply follow the guidelines in the user's manual provided by the manufacturer. However, when it comes to electric wall lighting, it is best to get help from a certified electrician with the training and experience needed to safely install your system. Handling electrical wiring can be extremely dangerous, but a licensed and insured electrician will ensure that your new lights are installed safely, accurately and affordably.
