Efficient LED Solar Outdoor Lighting

Here is another example of why you should consider solar landscpae lighting for energy efficient and environmentally friendly outdoor lighting, such as LED outdoor lights.
Bonita FL is considering a city ordinance to limit bright outdoor lighting in residential areas of Bonita Springs.
The limits would be in effect between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. During that time outdoor lights would need to be:
- Directional so no light shines onto a neighbor’s property.
- Limited in wattage i.e. brightness and power consumption.
The new regulations are meant to limit two things:
- Light pollution — the kind that interferes with a clear view of the night sky.
- The air pollution that comes from burning fuels to generate the electricity to power the lights.
There would be some exemptions to the new rules and some landscape lighting would still be allowed.
We suggest you take a look at LED outdoor lights for solar landscape lighting because they are:
- Energy efficient and so work well with solar power
- Compact
- Bright
- Reliable/long lived
Here’s an example of a motion Sensing LED light with a 1W Luxeon® LED that includes a solar panel.
Its a great LED/solar based solution to environmentally friendly outdoor lighting.
