Lamp posts have played key roles in some of our favorite movies, books and stories. Just imagine Gene Kelly dancing in the rain, or the four children who visit Narnia and you'll see how enchanted we have become by lamp posts. They seem like magical things for many reasons - casting light into dark places, standing resolute in all kinds of weather and generally being decorative and reliable all at the same time.
Unfortunately they can usually be far too costly and difficult for an average homeowner to acquire and use...until now. Today's solar technology has advanced to the point that it can be used to operate lamp posts. This means that homeowners can take advantage of the beauty of the fixtures and the effective lighting they provide.
Most solar lamp posts come in a variety of styles, and usually offer the shopper a single, double or triple bulb design. This means they can be used by a homeowner to create a gentle but distinctive ambience in their dooryard or driveway, or they can be used as a brilliant and effective lighting fixture to flood an area in the consistent light from LED bulbs - usually up to thirty feet in every direction.
In addition to good lucks and beneficial features, most solar lamp posts are designed for year round operation and are constructed with materials and methods that make them just as durable as their heavy, hardwired and costly counterparts. There too is another benefit, as they are easy to install and entirely free to operate. They can come equipped with a built in solar collector, or they also have panels that can be mounted in direct sun from which they feed power to the lamp post that can be placed in a shadier area.
In today's economy many "luxury" items and hobbies are being set aside until things turn around, but with solar lamp posts and lighting a homeowner doesn't have to eliminate home improvement plans from their budget. The fixtures require their simple installation, which allows the units to be bolted in place, and that is it! No expensive visit from an electrician who has to supply electricity to the site where the lamp will reside, no monthly electricity bill, and no constant need to replace burnt out bulbs.
Solar lamp posts present an ideal solution for anyone looking to create that magical lighting that only a lamp post delivers. They can be turned on or off at will, come at an affordable and reasonable cost and provide a hassle free lighting option for many years to come.
