Solar Outdoor Lights:
Make the Most of Your Next Camping Trip with Solar-Powered Outdoor Lights
Ever set up your RV in a darkened campsite and wish you had solar outdoor lights that didn’t drain your power source? Solar outdoor lights are a great accessory for your next RV camping expedition and they’re sustainable too! Keep reading for reviews and recommendations on different types of solar lighting solutions for your campsite.
Porch Peg Lights
These types of solar outdoor lights are meant to be pegged into the ground. While they don’t cast off an excessive amount of light, they are great for illuminating walkways and decks without having to run cords and wires.
Like most solar outdoor lights, lantern-style peg lights will “charge” under the sun during the day and can provide lighting for up to 10 hours. Many RV owners leave these lights either out during the day or strapped to the back or roof to cash in on all the free sunlight on the road.
Solar Lanterns
Using efficient LED light technology, solar lanterns tend to provide bright and enduring lighting solutions for areas without wiring. Most buyers of these solar outdoor lights tend to use them for evening trips to the latrine or long walks to another campsite.
Depending on the manufacturer, some brands of solar lanterns come equipped with DC output that can be used to charge other devices like cell phones or other small electronics.
Solar Headlamps and Flashlights
When it comes to headlamps and flashlights, most of these solar outdoor lights require at least 7 hours of sunlight to become fully charged. Using bright LED light technology, the beam tends to be powerful and just as useful as a traditional, battery-powered flashlight or headlamp.
Solar String Lights
Though the name implies otherwise, most solar string lights are not technically solar outdoor lights. They use long-lasting, hyper-efficient LED lights, but are designed more for decorative purposes than a practical solar lighting solution. Available in a wide variety of colors and styles, you can find solar string lights either online or at most hardware retailers.
