Starry Night Lights would like to welcome… Solar Powered LED Lights!
The benefits of solar energy are broad and powerful, and the incentives for LED lights are likewise. What could be better than a combination of the two?
It is this fact, which has encouraged Starry Night Lights to recently add solar powered LED area lights to their large collection of night friendly outdoor lighting fixtures. According to founder and president of Starry Night Lights, Anthony Arrigo, these solar powered LED lights “are the best thing to hit the lighting market”. This is because they combine the energy efficiency of LED lights and the clean renewable energy of solar power to create a new product that is both efficient and clean.
It is important to understand that compared to traditional forms of lighting, LED lights offer savings both in energy and financial costs. Also, they have environmental incentives as well, much of which stem from their ability to outlive traditional light bulbs. In fact, when compared to a standard light bulb, LED bulbs have ‘multiple lives’ and will easily end up being cheaper than standard bulbs because of the many more times a regular bulb will need to be replaced.
Also solar power, is one of the most promising and useful new forms of renewable energy. This is because it is a resource that is endless, and has the potential to produce a great amount of clean energy. As a result, many governments have been pushing companies to use solar energy and to work on developing technology which will make solar energy more affordable. In addition, efforts have also been made to make this form of energy even more efficient. It is certain that solar energy is the future of new renewable, clean energy!
Get the best of both worlds buy purchasing solar powered LED lights! It is in the interest of both your wallet and the environment to join in, in making your home or business green. Allow Starry Night Lights to assist you in making your business green and energy efficient. Starry Night Lights, the home of both environmentally and sky friendly lighting fixtures, don’t be shy to ‘light up’ !
[...] Starry Night Lights are the latest to join the club and the inspiration for this post. Their LED area lights promise to green-up parking lots, basketball courts, and driveways across the nation. [...]
I have used LED lighting for many different uses and find the efficiency to be outstanding. However, being a strong believer in leaving rural areas dark I cringe every time I go to a remote site and find a solar powered light dumbly lighting up some small parking lot with no one there. Light where it shouldn’t be, shouldn’t be there simply because solar powered lights make it possible. We must be very careful where we put lighting. Solar powered lights require batteries, (typically lead acid), and they are no plus environmentally. I give a big yes to LED lights, but please let’sbe very evry careful where we set up solar powered lights even if they are “full cutoff”.

Hi Peter
I share your concerns. This touches on our the first item in our standard outdoor lighting guidelines. Light only what needs to be lit. Seems like a no-brainer, but… in lighting as in many other things… there often is no such thing as a no-brainer.
Another thing that I’m worried about… regarding LED efficiency is increased brightness. As LED lights continue to improve their efficiency, I’m afraid that instead of getting the same amount of light as we currently have (and pocketing the energy savings), we’ll see brighter fixtures consuming the same amount of energy. This is not a technical issue… but a social and educational issue. We’ve all see the ads in literature…. “new and improved” or “now even brighter”. We need to break this trend if we are to see any improvement in our environment in general… and our night skies in particular.
Thanks for checking in!!

even with the above concerns, it has to be a step in the right direction. anything that saves energy, money and is good for the environment can’t be knocked too much
