As solar lights & lighting become more commonplace, so product designers are getting more innovative in the way they design solar lights.

Take Lucet Lamps designed by Rui Palma. These small solar lamps are actually three LED lights grouped together with a couple of rubber suckers attached to the base. You can position them wherever you like on a window and they’ll recharge their two AA batteries during the day and give out free solar powered light in the evening.

Just one catch – at the moment these solar lights are a concept design only.

As solar lighting keeps growing in popularity, so the choices can become more bewildering. As with anything, solar shed lights come in many shapes, sizes and budgets.

For this post, let’s assume you’re on a budget. Maybe you just want to experiment in solar lighting before investing a lot of money. Fair enough.

The Sun Shed Series from Silicon Solar is about the most inexpensive solar shed light we’ve seen. The manufacturer claims an eight hour run time through an “ultra efficient LED light”. The solar panel of shed light is on a swivel making it easy to position to capture the most energy and it comes with a generous ten foot electrical cord.

House guests will never get lost again once you’ve installed a set of solar powered address lights. As soon as the sun goes down, these Solar LED Address Numbers automatically switch on two large white LED lights. This gives a backlighting effect to the cutout numbers – allowing your house number to be clearly seen from some distance.

The LED lights will run for eight to ten hours on a full solar charge.
