Solar Sign Lights, for commercial and
residential purposes
Solar
sign lights were originally engineered and designed to
illuminate real estate signs. Initially, the ones who pushed for
the development of solar sign lighting technology were real estate
agents. Tired to have to pull electric wires and to change bulbs
frequently they created the demand for such solar product. Once the
product developed, in addition to sign lighting, people began to
find other practical and original solar lighting applications.
Solar address lights or solar address signs are a few examples.
Solar lights for flag poles are also used for
lighting signs.
Solar sign
lights come in two versions. Depending on the model you choose,
they can light one or both side of real estate signs. They can be
bolt directly on the real estate signs with a special fixture
specially designed theft and vandal proof. The beam of light can be
aimed in the right direction so that your real estate signs are
perfectly visible during the night.
Here you can have a look at our selection of solar real
estate sign lights.
Solar sign lights are specially designed to automatically
switch-on when night falls. A tiny built-in device called photo
cell detects the change of the ambient luminosity and triggers the
light. On some models a manual switch allows the user
to turn-off the light at any time, This feature bypass the
photo-cell and can be convenient if light pollution is an
issue in the neighborhood. The next morning the small solar cell
gather the sun’s energy and the recharging of the batteries begin.
This process will last as long as the sun is shining. Battery
technology has considerably evolved and NiMh batteries have a very
good autonomy.

Most good
quality solar sign lights can generate bright lighting all night
long. Lighting is produced by extra bright LEDs (Led Emitting
Diodes). Contrary to small traditional light bulbs LEDs can last
for a very long time (50.000 to 100.000 hours) in addition LEDs
consume very little energy. Resistance, very long life-span and low
power consumption is what characterize LEDs. This is the main
reason why they are widely used in modern solar lighting
technology. On solar sign lights anything from 2 to 100 LEDs is
available on the market. The more LEDs the more illumination power
is generated. Solar lights with a lot of LEDs can be used to
illuminate big real estate signs or advertising billboards for
example.
The main advantage of solar lights is that there is no need to
have cables coming from the electric grid. Being powered by the
sun, it is important to make sure that the solar panel is exposed
during daylight. It is the only effective way for the batteries to
recharge. Another important thing to do is to clean the solar panel
when dirty. Dirt an residues can prevent the sun from reaching the
layers of the solar cells. This will result in poor lighting
performances.
By lighting your real estate signs with solar sign lights, your marketing efforts will work
even at night and will definitely give you an evident advantage
over your competitors. By displaying your signs 24 hours, you can
increase your chances of attracting potential buyers and your
customers will be happy knowing that you are doing your best to
sell their properties.
