Solar energy and solar products have amassed unmatched popularity in the past few decadesâ€"so much so that solar products have obsoleted or, at least, curtailed the dominance of quite a few types of traditional lightings already. One such prominent disruption, resulting from the harnessing of solar energy, was that of solar powered lightings absolutely sidelining the use of traditional lights. Why the aforesaid disruption took place can be understood simply by considering the importance of solar energy.
Solar energy is a completely renewable resource. This means that even when we cannot make use of the sun’s power because of nighttime or cloudy and stormy days, we can always rely on the sun showing up the very next day as a constant and consistent power source.
Most modern solar-powered lightings are affixed with LED lights or built-in with LEDs. LEDs can be colored in order to reach the desired CRI, making them resemble sunlight as closely as possible and increasing night-time visibility, as a result of the process. Traditional lights usually have metal halide lamps which are nowhere close to beating the visibility offered by solar-LED lights.
As far as price is concerned, traditional lights are a lot cheaper than their solar counterparts. However, solar powered flagpole lighting turns out to be a better investment at a cheaper cost if the total money shelled out is consideredâ€"from money spent on installation and maintenance to the lamp or light replacements et al. Solar powered lightings require little or no maintenance. Also, unlike traditional lights, the solar lightings do not require electric poles to be set up explicitly, which is a tardy and expensive procedure.
There are many reasons to pursue solar powered outdoor flagpole lightings. The day-to-day savings on electricity costs and the environmental benefits make it a compelling option, but the savings on installation-related costs make it a "can't miss" in certain situations.
Some disadvantages are the following. There is a barrage of cheap solar powered flagpole lightings being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported stuff is cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flagpole lightings made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flags and flagpole lightings offered a special edition of solar powered flagpole lightings to provide innovative solutions for individual projects.
