solar lights
- This is how it works: A solar panel captures the sun during the day, charges a battery and in the darkness makes the LEDs light up.
- Advantages: No cables need to be laid and the lamps do not require external power.
- Luminous duration: With optimum sunlight and a fully charged battery, the technology delivers electricity for over ten hours of light.
Energy savers
- Motion detectors: Outdoor lights with motion sensors only switch on when needed and are well suited eg as path lighting.
- Timer: To use light only on certain days or at fixed times, programmable switches are idela.
- Bulbs: Light-emitting diodes (LED) and energy-saving lamps consume little power and are now also available in warm light colors.
