Solar Festive Lights
When some people think of Diwali or
other festival lights, they have fond
memories of staring at all the pretty
decorations in the neighborhood. Lights
that surround the porch, line the roof,
or adorn the outdoor trees can be very
beautiful and often serve as a creative
outlet for holiday lovers all over.
In these tight financial times, however,
one might be tempted to look at the
decorative lights and think about the
electric bill that's adding up. Luckily,
there is a bright sunny solution to
the problem that allows you to keep
your creativity and set those lights
up anyway.
"Solar Festive lights?", you might ask.
It does seem strange that something
that is meant to function in the dark
could draw from the sun as its power
source. The real secret is a hidden
battery wired into the solar collector.
The solar panel collects the sun's rays
all day and uses the battery to power
the lights at night. The lighting system
uses an optical sensor to 'know' the
difference between day and night.
