The Benefits of Solar Lamps over Voltage

Most people have never had to deal with the installation of a traditional lamp post. It is often surprising to read about all of the steps and frustrations that usually accompany such a job. Depending upon the type of fixture, the owner or installer will have to lay in the appropriate electrical or gas lines, pour a large and hefty base from concrete that will prevent wiring or gas lines from shifting and then make regular maintenance on the work for years to come.

All of the digging, pouring, wiring, leveling and hassle can be eliminated simply by choosing to install solar lamp posts instead. These are efficient and durable lighting fixtures that require only the light of the sun to enable them to operate for hours afterwards.

Today’s solar fixtures come in a staggering number of designs and styles and the advancements in LED technology, which is the standard light bulb utilized in a solar lamp of any kind will allow for lighting that can easily compete with old-fashioned fluorescents. In fact, the beauty of opting for solar lamps and fixtures means that such time consuming, risky and expensive tasks as changing light bulbs might only happen once every few years!

Of course, the real benefits of solar lamps come from the fact that they are entirely “off the grid”. They do not use any natural resources, do not cost the owner anything other than their purchase price and the occasional LED change, and will help to save the environment.

Solar lamp posts are not merely an earth-friendly alternative to gentle exterior lighting; today’s options feature powerful lamps, motion sensors, onboard timers or dusk to dawn sensors and heavy duty materials that can see them installed in both residential and commercial applications.

While they are often stylish in design, solar lamps are also made to serve some very specific functions. They can be incorporated into a home or business security system where they illuminate dark corners of yards or entryways, they can be placed near areas that are often difficult to negotiate after dark, such as stairs or walkways, and they can be used to accent a garden or landscape in a decorative fashion during both day and night time hours.

Clearly, solar lamp posts and fixtures can provide an easy, long-lasting and incredibly affordable option in exterior lighting. They take moments to install, require little to no maintenance and save the owner thousands of dollars in electrical or gas usage over the course of their lifetime.

Swimming Pool Solar Sun Rings -( SSRN , Solar Sun Rings ) $29.99 What Are Solar Sun Rings? The Solar Sun Ring is a passive solar swimming pool heating device made from two sheets of heavyweight U.V. resistant vinyl. The upper clear layer holds insulating air and focuses sunlight on the blue colored lower layer. The blue layer absorbs about 50% of the sunlight and converts it to heat. The balance of the sunlight is allowed topass through for deep water heating. Each Sun Solar Ring generates 21,000 BTU per day. Rings are 60" in diameter.How Do Solar Sun Rings Work? At night the contained air acts as an insulating blanket to retain heat gained during daylight. Solar Sun Rings are equipped with six 32 gauss magnets to improve clarity and decrease hardness of the waterin your pool. The magnets are positioned to facilitate rafting. The strength of the magnets will permit single position removal but will easily separate to prevententrapment in accidental falls.Solar Sun Rings were designed to be compatible with automatic pool cleaners. In the event the suction hose catches on a ring, the ring will separate from the raft to allow the pool cleaner to continue. Neither water norpool chemicals can evaporate through the Solar Sun Rings two layers of heavyweight vinyl. You will save water and chemicals about equal to the percentage of the surface covered. Once the water in your pool has reached adequate temperature, Solar Sun Rings may be turned over to conserve water by limiting evaporation without significantly heating the water.Your pool requires some direct sunlight and open water to stay healthy. The open water around the raft of Solar Sun Rings and the triangle caused by the convergence of three Solar Sun Rings is by design. These open areas allow your pool to receive some direct sunlight. This sunlight will greatly reduce the incidence of mustard algae.Easily Cleaned - After removal from the swimming pool, Solar Sun Rings can be easily cleaned with a sponge and mild detergent solution.Warranty: Solar Sun Rings are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for two years. Warranty is limited to materials and workmanship.Solar Sun Rings Features:Safety: No other floating solar cover matches SolarSun Rings design for safety. Countless pets and many people have died because of entrapment with the one piece bubble pack covers. The primary design criteria of the Solar Sun Ring was to prevent entrapment.Durability: High quality ultra violet resistant vinyl(polyvinyl chloride) is used exclusively for durability that cannot be achievedby the inferior plastic used in bubble pack covers. Vinyl will normally outlastpolyethylene 3 to 1. The vinyl used to manufacture Solar Sun Rings is not destroyed by pH fluctuation
