garden lighting

We put out some lights once just like all the other neighbors and didnt like it much. Over the years we had collected a lot of garden ornaments and decided to light them up with LED lights. I think this looks a lot better than the normal garden lights.

You are wasting your time replying to hit and run link dropper who doesn't know the difference between Usenet and a forum.

We s*it can 100's of post like that each day on a couple of the forums.

You have a number of choices for garden lighting.

1. wired lighting. Problem of concealing the wiring and limited distance from AC outlet.
2. battery powered lighting. Problem of battery dying, but replacement is easy.
3. solar powered lighting. Problem of solar cell's plastic cover clouding over. Throw away and buy new ones.

Is that your experience?

My experience is the damn things last forever! Got two solar lights. CheapO supreme. Now, 2 yrs old and still flying, even with original cheapO rechargable battery. Granted, not impress-the-neigbors bright, but enough to see. More lights,more bright. Another neigbor jes had new porch installed for a modular home. Must be 8 lights topping uprights on an 6'x3' porch. Haven't gone over to look in dark, but probably need sunglasses.

That's my experience. After a couple of years the only thing good about them was that they lit dimly enough to see where they were so you don't trip over them in the dark. The sun clouded the clear plastic lenses so much that the solar panels were barely visible. I tried polishing the covers, but the cloudiness was throughout the plastic.

I had tried several solar types which usually died out. My current lights have removable recharcheable batteries. They came with tabs to prevent draining batteries in storage. THey have been working three years on orig batteries. I suspect the LEDs are also more power conserving than previous.
