Traffic Safety

Should I buy solar barricade lights or the typical battery powered barricade lights?  This is a question I hear a lot, and the answer is not extremely simple, because it depends on your needs.  If you only need your lights for a 6 months to a year, I would say stick with the battery powered.

If you want something that will be around for 3+ years, go with the solar powered barricade lights.  These are designed to last but they do cost more.  A typical figure is battery powered barricade lights cost half of what solar powered barricade lights, so if you just need them for a short time go with the battery powered lights.
