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.

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?

solar barricade lights, solar barricade light, barricade light, construction lightSitting 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 – Why the Hoods?

solar barricade lights, solar barricade light, barricade lights, type b barricade lightsI 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.
