Solar Flood Lights

 

Increase your home's security with solar flood lights

 

Ensuring that the exterior of your home is well lit is the first step to securing your home. The addition of solar flood lights is an affordable and easy way to increase security around your property.

 

Why solar flood lights?

Solar flood lights are ideal if you are trying to light a large area, such as a driveway or porch. Providing a more intense light than other types of solar lights, solar flood lights can cover an area of up to 180 degrees. Unlike other solar lights, solar flood lights feature a reflective background on their back panels, which intensifies and focuses the light.

 

Your options

When it comes to solar flood lights there are few features to consider before making a selection.

- Do you want solar flood lights that are powered by an external solar panel that is placed in a different location or solar flood lights that include the solar panel? Keep in mind that the sun powers solar flood lights. This means solar flood lights need to capture enough sunlight during the day to provide ample light at night. If you are concerned that the solar flood lights won't consistently get enough sun than an external solar panel might be the best option.

 

- Do you want solar flood lights that also use light bulbs? There are solar flood lights available that use LED, fluorescent and halogen bulbs. This can be a nice feature to have because you still benefit from the efficiency of the solar flood lights, but also have a back-up light source. 

 

- Do you want solar flood lights that have motion sensor options? Coupling solar flood lights with a motion sensor can provide even more security for your home.

 

Affordability and installation

The price of solar flood lights typically starts around $40. In addition to being an affordable solution, solar flood lights are easy to install.
