Not enough options for solar lighting |
When I get my electric bill every month I think to myself, ‘I could do better than this’. I don’t really understand it. The local stores are all flooding the market with solar lights for your yard. They’re very popular.
They have accent lights, spot lights, porch lights and just decorative ones in general, but where’s the option to put ones in the the home?
Where’s the ones that I can use to put a glow in the living room or an accent light in my hallway?
Why isn’t Wal-Mart or Lowes selling solar panels for home projects? Where’s the solar kits? All these DIY guys building sheds and gazebos for their wives; this would be the perfect add on.
I bring this up because I’m not a hermit, but I don’t use a lot of light while I’m watching TV or on the computer. I like a nice glow. I could get this very easy from a little solar light if they were in doors.
They need to be able to be mounted on the roof or on the side of the house and enough wiring to get the power to the inside.
The LED lights are terribly efficient. I’ve had 6 out front my house for 6 months and they perk up every night and all they have are little bitty rechargeable batteries in them. They sit in the sun all day picking up their solar charge and then here they come again.
Unless they can get more selection out there and the prices and kits are easier to use the solar lights just aren’t going to make it.
I’ve also been looking for an emergency lighting system that’s easy to install and will only come on if all the power in the house goes out. I’ve still yet to find one. It seems like the most basic and obvious, but…
Still looking.
Thanks for reading!
