Hyper Tough Solar LED street light
|
I know you're gonna say, "wait a minute, I thought you hate LED?" well, I tell you the truth I do like LED, but not in all forms of lighting. But, I pick this solar street light up at Walmart, because,
1. It kinda looks cool?
2. It looks like its been updated unlike the old one that they used to have.
BTW the battery isn't those single 18650 Li-ion batteries, its actually a Li-ion pack (two 18650s in a pack) with a miliamphour rating of 4000mAh, with a connector plug. But yeah, this was the last one fixture left on the shelf of the aisle, so I decided to pick it up (couldn't wait anymore). It has 5000K LEDs which I originally thought its warm white, but anyway this will have those yellow transparent filters to filter out the blue light so bugs won't be around. Also I'm going to waterproof it with Flex Shot like @589 on LG.net did with his solar street lights.
It comes on when it detects motion, and it turns off when no motion is presented. It has a big mono-crystalline solar panel.
This fixture will be on my wood pole next to my La-Crosse weather station. But for now, its gonna be a temporary fixture until I get a electrician's license to put up real street lights in my backyard.
