Solar lighting options?

We Answered:

A 15 watt halogen bulb is really bright, much brighter then a 15 watt incandescent. Wattage isn't how much light it gives off but rather how much energy it consumes. Lumens is how much light it gives off.

Solar Powered Outdoor Lights....battery question?????

We Answered:

I had one of those lights quit working and I had to break it to get inside and fix the broken wire. It is now my toy that lays on my desk. It has 2 ni batteries in it rated at 600. I replaced them with 2 rated at 2500. They charge great and work great. But the light don't seem any brighter. I did find out with the one I have that when the switch is turned off the batteries will not charge either.

Is there a brightness rating for solar powered outdoor lights?

We Answered:

Good question. I bought a small solar powered spot to illuminate my house numbers a few years ago and it was so dim, I had to buy another. Even if they labeled them dim, dimmer and dimmest it would be of some help. RScott

Non-solar outdoor lights set to "automatic" - set to turn on at dark and remain on for 4 hours.?

We Answered:

Are the lights staying on during the day or just at night? If they are staying on all the time then it sounds like you have a bad photo eye, however, if you turn the switch to off I would think the lights should go off. This is telling me you may have a bad switch. Is the off switch located in the same module as the photo eye? If this is the case it may be the module and may need to be replaced. I have had some decent luck on manufacturers replacing these types of items in the past at no charge. Good luck!
