Solar landscape lights

In my experience, solar garden lights last about 2 to 3 years, ma. The photovoltaic cells deteriorate and the NICAD batteries can stand only so many charges/discharges. I removed them and installed 12 V Malibu lights, although I had a long run to the transformer. They actually provide enough light to see by and their price compares with the solar lights. Be sure to use 7 or 12 Watt bulbs, instead of 4 Watt. Actually the batteries poop out first. Typically they are Nicads which suck. Replace once a year and you're all set. |
