Five Cool Things About Solar Christmas Lights
1. Ridiculously Easy to Install
You've probably dealt with hanging Christmas lights around your home before. One of the hardest part of doing this is running extension cords all over the place to power the lights. Well what if there was a way to have all the lights you want and not run power to them? Welcome to the power of solar! Solar Christmas lights come with their own small panel and battery to power the lights. You just need to have the panel exposed to sunlight for a 4-5 hours for them to work. You can even have the panel inside a window and it will work!
2. No More Timers
Solar Power Christmas Lights
Another pain with traditional Christmas lights is getting the timer set right with all the strings. You have probably had the lovely experience of tying 20 light strings altogether into a timer and then dealing with this big ball of spaghetti wires for 2 months. Are you having Visions of Clark Griswold and 'Christmas Vacation'? Well these solar lights have a function that tells the lights to turn on when the panel stops receiving energy. So the lights come on automatically when the sun goes down and turn off when the sun comes up. Forget timers and switches, these lights are smart.
3. Great Looking Lights
One of the best things about lights like these are the way they look. Solar lights are made with LED technology, the most energy efficient lighting available. White LED lights cast a cool glow that can easily seen from far away. And of course there are plenty of options too. You can get flashing lights, rotating lights, and multicolored lights. Some even have a dial that allow you to change the color of your lights. That's why LED's are so cool, you' never be able to do that with traditional Christmas lights. And there are many bulb styles as well like icicles, ice cubes, stars, and Christmas characters.
Solar Power Christmas Lights
Where can you find solar power christmas lights whoelsale?
I need solar powered christmas lights to string across the tops of buildings in a small downtown area, but I will need hundreds of feet of lights. Any suggestions of how to find them the cheapest?
Can I connect solar powered christmas lights to a normal christmas light set?
Do you know how christmas lights can connect to other lights so that you only plug in one wire in the outlet? So do solar panels have an adapter so you can plug in normal lights in it.
Can solar powered Christmas lights be used indoors around a window? ?
My new solar lights are not very bright and they only shine for about 3 hours instead of the 7 hours they are supposed to.
they need more direct sun light , and they can be used any where you can get the sun light , the longer in sun the longer they run
Hey Genius there is only one way to do it, but first let me explain what you up against. Most solar Christmas strings that I have worked on run on 6 volts, though many are other low voltages, such as 3 or 4. Household power in the US is 120 VAC, other parts of the world 240. I have never heard of a solar Christmas light set with a household adapter, that would defeat the entire purpose. Now if you are real handy with wiring, you can do this. Disconnect the solar lights from the solar/battery housing. Now take a couple of D batteries, and try connecting them across the two wires that come from the end of the light string. Start with one battery (1.5 volts) then 2 (3 volts) and so on until the string lights up the correct brightness. Once you achieve this, count the number of D batteries and multiply by 1.5, this will give you the string voltage. Now if you want to get a converter that will run that string on AC, just write down the string voltage, and go to Radio Shack, and look for a wall pack that has the same output voltage in DC.
I’m betting this is not convenient, but maybe a good hobbyist project if you like that sort of thing. If so, you probably have a wall pack around someplace with that output voltage. There are simple ways to convert 12 volt DC from your car to the lower string voltage with some simple inexpensive diodes and run the string on your car, but there isn’t sufficient space here to explain it, try google if you’re interested.
We sort of learned this the hard way because I had some solar strings that quit, and discovered the battery packs had all gone bad. Now we run them on a lawn tractor battery that is kept charged with a 30 watt solar panel hanging on the fence. Works quite well. Good luck, Rudydoo
solar power outlet for Christmas lights?
is there such a thing as a solar powered outlet that i could plug my regular (non-solar) string lights into? we are very tight on money and cannot afford to plug in Christmas lights to up our electric bill. i only have 2 small strings of solar lights but our kids would be thrilled to see our yard decorated. is there something we can buy to plug our lights into to convert them to solar – or will we have to wait until we can afford to buy more solar string lights?
Can you connect several strings of solar power Christmas lights together?
We are trying to find an eco-friendly way to do a community Christmas tree, and we are thinking of doing solar powered Christmas tree lights, but I’m wondering if you can string several strands of lights together or if each set of lights has its own solar panel. Any advice for lighting a 15 ft. Christmas tree in the middle of a town center without using electricity?
Solar Christmas lights are a fantastic way to be eco-friendly at Christmas. To answer your questions, each strand of lights will need its own solar panel, and the longest strand of lights in pure solar at the moment is approx 30m in length. Any larger, and it is very difficult to ensure the power output and consistency of the LED brightness (which is why longer strands are not available). The solar panel can be fixed to a branch or trunk with mounting hardware. Ensure your tree has ample sunlight during the day and the solar panels can be fixed at the end of the branch to ensure maximum sunlight.
Make sure you buy Solar Christmas lights that do not turn off when a lighting source, eg street light hits the solar panel (you need to check with the supplier) otherwise your community will be disappointed. Good quality solar lights can distinguish between sun light and street lighting.
