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 – Environmentally Friendly?
Are solar barricade lights truly more environmentally friendly than battery powered barricade lights? Well, to be honest I do not know the answer, but by posting this I hope to stir some thought about this ‘green’ product as well as others. Though you may not need to change the batteries and worry about disposing them (as often) with solar barricade lights, they still may not be ‘green.’
In other words, do we know what these solar barricade lights are really made out of? Solar barricade lights still have batteries in them, so are they any more or less recyclable than the 6 Volt or D cell batteries we find in battery powered lights? This may be worth looking into if you want a ‘truly’ green product.
