The Facts

Itandrsquo;s simpleandhellip;..Letandrsquo;s get right to the verdict, outdoor low-voltage LED lights are far superior to solar and other lights for many reasons. LED lights have higher efficiency, longer lifespan, are brighter and provide consistent illumination with virtually no or minimal maintenance.

Better yet, with the advancements in technology, LED lights have become increasing affordable, making them the ideal option to lighten up your outdoors to create the mood and ambience you desire within your budget.

Exploring The Differences

Both LED and Solar lights are popular options for lighting up your outdoors and Solar lights are readily available in various retail and big-box home improvement stores. Before selecting a product, you should understand the differences to make an informed decision.

LED Lights – These are small fixtures that emit light when an electrical current passes through them. They do not require batteries, will not dull, are energy efficient, provide bright white lights and thousands of color options that can be changed using a remote control and best yet, they have a long lifespan.

Solar Lights – Solar lights utilize the sun to generate electricity. They require batteries to store and use power to illuminate the bulbs at night. Unlike LEDs, they cannot be controlled via a timer or remote. They only emit white light which is dull and requires more lights in comparison to LEDs. They do not last a long as LEDs and may cot even more over-time.

Incandescent Lights - LED lights use up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, leading to cost savings on electricity bills. In addition, LEDs are more suitable for use in off-grid locations or areas with limited access to electricity.
