  Organizing Thought of the Day

Do you know of solar lights that last?


A GON Reader Asked:

Do you know of any solar lights (outdoor) that actually last, or should we plan to replace every year?

--Ann H.

Maria Gracia Responded:

Hi Ann,

So many families, these days, use solar lights to illuminate pathways and gardens...my family included. They don't last forever, but you can typically get at least two years out of them (ours are going on four!) before you need to change the rechargeable battery or replace the light itself. There are, however, a few things you can do to make them last a bit longer.

1) If you live in a state where ice and snow are typical during some seasons of the year (like where I live in Wisconsin), stow them away during those seasons. Cold temperatures will affect the battery life, and once they're covered with snow, they won't be able to maintain a charge.

2) Clean them...frequently. Wipe the panels of each with a clean cloth once every few weeks. I know this is a bit of a pain, but don't skip this step.

3) If your lights have an OFF position, switch them to that setting when there are long periods of rain or clouds in the forecast. This will help extend the battery life.

4) Think about placement. If your lights aren't getting enough full sun, they're not going to shine bright. This takes a bit of thought. Install them on a bright, sunny day, in areas where the sun is strongest. Don't place them near bushes or trees that will shade the sun from getting to the panels.

5) Keep extra batteries on hand. Once a battery is weak or drained, throw it out and replace it...BEFORE your batteries get corroded.

Hope this helps!
