36 LED Solar Powered Shed Light – 30W Light Output

A common issue with solar-powered lights is that they often output a very weedy light beam. What I like about the PowerBee Solar Ray 36 is that the light output is equivalent to a 30 Watt mains-powered light bulb! Which is much higher than most other solar lighting. The Solar Ray 36 has, you guessed...

New LED Light Bulbs Equivalent to 60W Incandescents

With the push towards LED lighting (as filament lamps are due to be banned in 2012 in most countries), there is incredible research going on into lighting that offers the equivalent light output and light colour, but at the fraction of the energy consumption. The Zetalux LED light uses only 7 Watts of power, but...

Gentle Illumination – Wind Powered LED Lights

Due to the fairly low light output of LEDs, it’s easy to see that LEDs offer great potential for micro-illumination, i.e. enough lighting for a very small area. LEDs offer very directional lighting, and this dictates what they can be used for without using special diffusers. However, Jason Bruges found a novel use for a...

Solar-powered LED Bricks

Lighting a large area with conventional lamps can be very costly to run in energy costs, in addition to installing the infrastructure and maintenance costs. However, with some careful planning, the use of green gadgets, such as solar powered LED bricks can be an attractive and practical technique for lighting pavements and other paved areas.

So if you want a light for your shed, getting electricity from the house is a lot of hassle and expensive. Using a solar-powered shed light means that you...
