Great Solar Lights
Solar lights
take the energy of sunlight and convert it to electricity. The electricity is then stored in a battery within the casement of the solar light and at night is used to generate light from the lamp.
During the day the light does not shine due to a light sensitive switch which keeps the solar light turned off if there is sufficient natural light already. The solar lights will come on automatically and continue to shine until either there is sufficient light to trip the light switch once more or the battery is drained.
In practice it is usually the latter as the battery has sufficient energy to only keep the lamps shining for six to eight hours each night. This does not tend to be a problem however as this would be the early hours of the morning and thus a time when most folk were safely wrapped up in bed.
