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.
Solar Barricade Lights – How ‘Proof’ Are They?
Sitting in my office today I can hear the trickle of the rain behind me, and it made me think, at what point is bad weather too much for solar barricade lights? We all know they need a good amount of sunlight to get them started, but what about being too hot, or too cold?
Rain should never be an issue with a barricade light. They are designed so that they do not let water into the important components. The problem can be temperature, if it gets below zero where you plan on having them you may want to do a little bid more research and see if your lights can handle that temperature.
Solar Barricade Lights – New Trend
A look at the stats on keyword usage on Google and other search engines and you will realize that solar is a hot new word. Now, there are not only solar barricade lights but there are also solar traffic lights, solar stop signs, solar arrow boards, etc. The list goes on and on.
With these solar products it is important to do research to find out how ‘green’ they actually are. Sometimes you will find that the processes that needs to take place to make these products is not as ‘green’ as the overall use of the entire original product.
Solar Barricade Lights – Why the Hoods?
I have had a lot of people ask me why there are hoods on some solar barricade lights and not on others. Well, it has to do with the type of solar barricade light. The type b barricade lights have hoods while the regular lights do not.
Why is this? This is because it allows a bigger solar panel to be mounted on top. It also does a better job of directing the light so that it is as bright as possible.
