Solar Barricade Lights – Brands
I know of at least 4 different brands of solar barricade lights, which means there are at least 4 different models out there. What are the differences? Well, from what I have seen the main difference is just the way it looks.
Most people in the traffic safety industry who know a decent amount about solar barricade lights can tell the brand of light just by looking at it, which means the main difference is in fact the design. This doesn’t mean that some of the specs like how long they last are not different, but just suggests that they aren’t as varied as you may think.
Solar Barricade Lights Batteries
Believe it or not, you can replace the batteries in solar barricade lights. I know that doesn’t make any sense, because solar things are supposed to not require batteries.
The way it works is that the solar panels are designed to charge an internal battery which then holds the charge for a certain amount of time. After 3+ years the battery dies, and on some models you can get new batteries by contacting the manufacturer.
Problems with Solar Barricade Lights
If you have a problem with your solar barricade lights, I would suggest you first go to your distributor and then to your manufacturer if the problem is not solved. Sometimes the manufacturer knows more about the product than the distributor.
Another suggestion is to do a quick search on the internet. There is an abundance of resources available on the net so don’t think you won’t find what you are looking for!
Solar Barricade Lights OTR
OTR = On The Road, because this past weekend I saw way too many solar barricade lights. Next to type 3 barricades, or mounted on to traffic barrels, they were everywhere.
Because I am in the traffic safety industry, I understand how much these items cost, and I am always shocked by the amount of money spent. The government must invest millions in some of these projects.
Solar Barricade Lights Online
Here are some tips when searching for solar barricade lights online. First, let me start by saying the websites at the top of the results in search engines are not always the cheapest. I would recommended at least going to the 2nd page (11 or more results) when looking for barricade lights.
Also, if you are searching for a specific type of barricade light, type that exact name into the engine. You may find that there are different results, which may be cheaper, when you get more specific.
