Solar landscape light under palm
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good solar landscape light to put under a tall palm tree?

I have had very poor luck with all of the solar powered lights. In all cases these failed within a year, from:
1. The solar cell clouded over or the coating failed (note I did remove the initial plastic sheet) 2. The battery failed to hold a charge. 3. Water leaked into the device and caused corrosion, resulting in failure. 4. The typically plastic housing failed due to the intense Florida sunlight. I gave up, bought Hampton all metal landscape lights (5 year warranty) from Home Depot, the Hampton power supply and landscape wire. These have been in for over 3 years with no problems, come on at sunset, and off at 11 PM. NOTE: I did not use the clamp on piercing connectors as I have seen these fail before, I cut the wires, use quality crimp connectors, liquid tape, and a heat shrink tubing over the connector so I have a waterproof connection. Hope this helps. Send me a PM if you want more detailed info. |
