Solar Powered Security Light Buyer’s Guide

by blape on June 5, 2010

LED solar powered security light systems are powerful and effective. Powered by the sun, solar security lights provide LED strength luminosity whenever a motion detector is triggered. Home owners benefit from installing solar security lighting over non-solar security lighting primarily because solar security lighting is resistant to blackouts and other power shortages. Security lighting can be used in conjunction with most wireless home security systems or as a stand alone system. As long as the solar power panel is mounted in a sunny place, the solar security lighting will always be available to provide illumination and keep all areas of a residence safely visible.

Silicon Solar Incorporated

  • Silicon Solar Incorporated manufacturers a solar security light with motion sensor and solar panels. Each lighting set utilizes LED bulbs, and is differentiated by the number of features it has.
  • The less expensive models have fewer features, including the ability to ‘switch’ the lighting from a motion detector mode to a steady security light.
  • The top model has even more programming features, including the ability to set the distance at which the motion detector begins working, and an ambient light sensor with different degrees of sensitivity. Also, the top model allows users to program the ‘on’ time, or duration, once the motion detector light has been triggered.
  • The unit produces 100 watts of light.
  • Depending on the unit, the cost ranges from about $63 to $83.

Heath Zenith

  • Heath Zenith manufacturers several LED solar security lights with their own solar panel and motion detector with a 180 degree swivel light.
  • The lights can detect motion at 70 feet.
  • The cost is approximately $50.

Motion Sensor Solar Security Light

  • This solar powered security light with motion sensor offers consumers the ability to position the unit on a corner or other angled surface and position the lights to cover the widest possible area.
  • LED lights are used to provide the illumination.
  • This unit comes with a set of rechargeable batteries.
  • The cost is approximately $90 for this set.

Flipo Solar 18 LED PIR Solar Security Light

  • Another dual light, the Flipo Solar Security Lights use LED lighting.
  • The unit is highly programmable, with options on not only the range of motion detection, but the sensitivity to the dawn/dusk light detection controls. This allows users to adjust the ‘on’ time, or duration, of the light once the motion detector is triggered.
  • Wall brackets are included.
  • The unit is built to be weather resistant, making it perfect for more tempestuous climates.
  • The bulbs are bright enough to illuminate a 20 foot area.
  • The cost is approximately $50.
