Benefits Of Freelite™ Solar Lighting

Top 10 Benefits of Solar Lighting v2

Why Solar Lighting Is A Smart Choice For Outdoor Lighting In New Zealand

In New Zealand, we’re blessed with ample sunlight, and what better way to make the most of this natural resource than by using solar lighting? Whether you’re lighting up your garden, driveway, or outdoor spaces, solar lighting offers a multitude of benefits that not only save you money but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable environment. Here's why professional solar lighting is the way forward...

   

  

1. Effortless Installation – No Fuss, No Stress

One of the standout features of solar lighting is how incredibly easy it is to install. The only installation requirement is simple: mount onto a sturdy base.

Pro Tip: Solar lights are ideal for areas where traditional lighting would be difficult or expensive to install. Plus, if you ever decide to change things up, solar lights are easily moved - giving you ultimate flexibility.

  

  

2. Electrically Safe & Environmentally Friendly

Solar lights run off the power of the sun, making them electrically safe. There’s no risk of electrical faults or power surges, and because they don’t rely on mains electricity, they’re an excellent choice for eco-conscious kiwi's looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Sustainable and Safe: Solar lighting uses the sun's energy, turning it into light without relying on non-renewable resources. A win for both you and the planet!

   

  

3. Free to Operate – No More Utility Bills

Imagine a world where your outdoor lighting costs you nothing to operate. Solar lighting works completely off-grid, using energy harnessed from the sun to power your lights, meaning you can say goodbye to ever-increasing electricity bills. This makes solar lights a cost-effective solution over the long term.

Say Goodbye to Electricity Bills: Once installed, solar lights are free to run and don’t depend on an external energy supplier. You’re in control of your energy use!

   

   

4. Ideal for Remote & Rural Areas

New Zealand is known for its stunning rural landscapes, but unfortunately, some of these remote areas can be far from the reach of mains electricity. This is where solar lighting truly shines. You can install solar-powered lights in even the most isolated locations, providing reliable illumination without the need for extensive infrastructure. Whether you live on a farm or in a beachside retreat, solar lights make it easy to brighten your surroundings.

Remote and Rural-Friendly: Whether it’s a remote farm or a secluded beach house, solar lighting makes it possible to light up even the most distant areas without needing a connection to the power grid.

   

  

5. Low-Cost Installation and Maintenance

Traditional lighting solutions can be expensive to install due to trenching, wiring, and electrical components. Solar lighting eliminates these costs. With no trenching, cables, or conduits required, solar lighting offers a much cheaper, hassle-free installation. Plus, with proper care and regular maintenance, the overall lifecycle cost of solar lighting is incredibly cost-effective.

Cost-Effective: Save money upfront with easy installation and enjoy years of maintenance-free lighting with minimal upkeep costs.

   

6. Security and Safety Benefits

Solar lighting provides enhanced security by illuminating your yard, driveway, or entrance. Whether you’re looking to deter potential intruders or ensure your property is well-lit for safety, solar lights are a fantastic, energy-efficient option. Plus, they offer the convenience of automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, meaning you’ll never have to worry about switching them on or off.

Enhanced Security: A well-lit property is a safer property. Solar lighting offers automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, giving you peace of mind all night long.

   

  

7. Night-Time Activity Made Possible

With solar lighting, you can enjoy outdoor activities after dark, whether it’s hosting a barbecue, working in the garden, or relaxing on your deck. Solar lights allow you to use outdoor spaces that would otherwise be unusable at night, extending your enjoyment of your outdoor space for longer.

More Time Outdoors: From evening dinners to garden parties, solar lighting lets you make the most of your outdoor space after the sun goes down. 

  

   

8. Long-Lasting & Durable

Freelite™ Solar lights are built to last. The average lifespan of a Freelite™ solar light is anywhere from 3 to 10* years, with minimal maintenance required. With increasing electricity costs, solar lighting offers a long-term, cost-effective solution to light your outdoor space for years to come.

   

   

9. Preserve the Night Sky with Night-Sky Friendly Models

In New Zealand, we pride ourselves on our natural beauty, including our dark, starry skies. That’s why night sky solar models are an excellent choice for kiwi's who want to minimize light pollution and preserve the view of the night sky. These specially designed lights reduce excess upwards light wastage, ensuring your outdoor lighting reduces environmental impact and is considerate of the local area.

   

   

10. Wildlife-Friendly Solar Lighting

Freelite™ have special wildlife friendly models which emit a very narrow wave length of light, which does not disturb the surrounding wildlife or natural cycles - perfect for properties near protected wildlife habitats and coastal areas. These lights are designed to minimize the impact on local ecosystems, making them safe for wildlife while still providing all the benefits of solar-powered illumination.

Wildlife-Friendly: Solar lighting is designed to minimize disruption to local animals, especially important in ecologically protected areas and near the coastline.
