Solar Holiday Lighting

September 29, 2010 @ 5:20 pm

Our good friends at www.holidayleds.com are cooking up a home-made solar lighting kit for LED holiday lighting –

“Each year we speak to and receive emails from a number of people who are interested in solar power Christmas lights. We’ve looked at several options for solar powered Christmas lights and found that most of the stuff that is on the market today simply isn’t very good. Most of the units we have looked at have solar panels that aren’t large enough or high enough quality to collect enough light to charge even a small battery. Additionally, the batteries on the sets we have tested all seem to be very low quality and don’t hold much of a charge. And worst of all, the lights weren’t even very bright. The average light output of the solar powered Christmas lights we tested had light output that was comparable to a dim power indicator light on a DVR or something. Since we couldn’t find any good solar power LED Christmas light sets we decided to make our own.”

Here’s a link to their story — http://www.holidayleds.com/articles/how_make_your_own_solar_powered_led_christmas_lights
