Solar Powered Light

Lewis Said:

Anyone know if you can replace the batteries in a solar powered outdoor light?

We Answered:

I can change mine. Mine requires 2 AA rechargable. You have to use rechargables since the solar panel is charging them.

Mildred Said:

Is there a way to make a solar powered light work again if it goes dark?

We Answered:

Solar lights work on rechargable batteries. Like any battery they wear out and need to be replaced. The light company should be selling the batteries for that light.

Joanne Said:

Would a solar powered light bulb work?

We Answered:

Indeed it would work.... And if your brother does succeed with his idea (.... cough) please tell me as it would power itself because as well from getting energy from the sun it would get it from itself.
I would think that it would work the same as the garden solar powered lights you can buy... (Yes some people have tried the same idea).
In the mean time though I would suggest buying a solar panel to fit onto your roof to then generate electricity to all electric appliances throughout your home. You should be very happy that whilst planning to take over the world (that I now want Jamaica and Italy (I like pizza) if he succeeds :-) lol ) –he is thinking greener!!!
Though I think that it would not work in winter in Britain, as we NEVER hardly get any sunlight. For further information (on how solar power works- NOT the climate of Britain) see websites below.

I have a solar powered light for a clock but it is always on. How can I make it dusk to dawn or work @12 volts

We Answered:

It can be done but you will have to install a on/off switch to the bulb

Tiffany Said:

Can you charge a solar powered light under a regular indoor lamp or does it need sunlight?

We Answered:

Pretty much any light source (barring glow-in-the-dark) should charge a photo-electric cell... EVENTUALLY. Sunlight is by far more efficient than artificial light, but artificial light will get it done.
