| Solar Lights Can Help You Get a Grip on Electricity Bills! |
Even if you were to switch out a few outdoor lights, such as floodlight or a lamp with a solar fixture, you'll save a lot of money each month. Many solar lights can help pay for themselves in short time: not even counting the money you save by not having to have an electrician install the fixture or install new electrical power lines.
For example: an average lamp light uses a 75 Watt bulb, which is roughly equivalent to our higher end solar lamps. An average flood or spot light varies between 100 to 150 watts. So, if you replace a couple of these with a solar light, the savings will add up. (Note: amps and volts of solar fixtures are not directly comparable to traditional electric products because they work very differently.)
