Seasonal dachas gradually stop being garden plantations and become that place where it is possible to plant beautiful bushes, to break beds, to feel the landscape designer. Having worked over decoration of the site in the afternoon, you can admire fruits of the activity and in the evening, using for this purpose LED lamps on solar batteries.
As garden lamps work on solar batteries
The idea of use of the accumulated daylight for night-time illumination has been implemented in practice still in the twenties of the last century, but bulk production of such household lamps has begun relatively recently – about 15 years ago. The principle of work of such lamps is rather simple – on cover the solar battery which is the thin film covered with protective transparent layer is located. Under action of both direct, and scattered sunshine, the battery will transform light energy to electric and accumulates it. The accumulator begins to work with nightfall and gives tension on the LED lamp which is built in the lamp. The good, qualitative LED lamp on solar batteries is capable to shine till 8 o'clock that quite is enough for lighting of the territory around the country house as summer, and during the autumn and spring period.
Advantages of such lamps are obvious. You can establish them in any place on the site where you will only wish, at the same time you should not dig trenches and to lay cable. If necessary, the lamp can be easily removed from the earth and is rearranged to any other place or removed on storage if you leave the site for long time. Illumination joins and switched off automatically, at the same time you should not buy for this any additional equipment. You have opportunity to light the territory of the site, without paying money for electricity. Besides, the decorative appeal of your site significantly increases, and you have opportunity to create the real design masterpieces.
That as much as possible light came to the battery, regularly wipe its surface with clean soft and damp rag, trying not to scratch protective film.
What garden lamps on solar batteries happen
Simplicity of design of such lamps with interest will bathe huge variety of their decorative forms. As a rule, lawn lamps and those that are established along paths and around the house have the strict classical laconic forms. Their plafonds on high columns can be konuso- or spherical, cylindrical or in the form of cube. Decorative small lamps which emphasize beauty of vegetation can be executed in the form of low lamps of simple forms or the painted figures of gnomes, frogs, owls and so forth. There are waterproof floating lamps which will decorate the surface of your pool or artificial reservoir at night.
How to choose garden lamps for the seasonal dacha
First of all, pay attention to quality of production of such lamp. The set of homebrew firms releases such small lamps which can be bought cheap, especially wholesale, but the quality their quite low and will be served by them not for long and the accumulators installed in them will limit luminescence time only 3-4 hours. Cheap lamps do not differ also in quality of mounting therefore they pretty fast fail, and it is impossible to repair them.
Producers which guarantee quality of the products surely specify on packing such parameters as power and quantity of LED lamps in the lamp, time of their work on condition of full charge of the accumulator, its look and capacity. If you want to establish small lamps around the house, on the balcony or lawn, be defined what area they have to light. The lamp is more powerful, the more brightly it will burn and the it will light the big area. In the powerful lamp the bigger quantity of LED lamps – more than 10 pieces is established. But that such lamp worked regularly, in it also the good accumulator has to be installed. Nickel-metallogidridnye accumulators differ in good characteristics and reliability, they are more expensive, than traditional nickel-cadmium, but finally, their use is economically more favorable, they have big capacity, more powerful and the term of their service longer. Such lamps will be able continuously to work till 8-10 o'clock.
Choosing the lamp, consider that the more the area of the solar battery, the more will be the quantity of solar energy accumulated by it.
In the majority of lamps there are sensors which are reacting to illumination and automatically including and switching-off lamps. Some lamps which can be used for installation along paths have motion sensors and join only at approach of the person. Such lamps can be established also with the place of the parking of the car. You can pick up lamp form according to its functionality and the location. Look at photo on the Internet, examples of arrangement of lamps of different forms in different places of the seasonal dacha are provided there. If you want to organize party on the site, it is possible to buy for it lamps with color LEDs which will help to create festive mood and the atmosphere.
