Instead of connecting the whole grid system to a solar panel to use a bulb for lighting, one can use solar lights without having to mount a whole solar panel. These lights are mostly used in developing countries in areas where electricity is not reachable and it is too expensive to install a solar panel. The lights have a solar panel that charges during the day and can be used for lighting for a period of up to twelve hours.
Outdoor solar lights range from jar solar lights inserts that you can hang outside to harness solar power to solar powered motion sensor lights that are mounted outside and act as security lights. The motion detection lights are very functional for ensuring security in your home while saving energy as it only lights up when it detects movement.
