With the ongoing rise in energy bills, more and more people are seeking cost-effective solutions. That’s why solar lights are becoming increasingly popular. Offering peace of mind with their automatic on/off function and self-recharging battery, solar lights provide a hassle-free lighting solution. If you are traveling overseas with no one at home and your house is very dark, these solar lights will automatically turn on in the evening and off in the morning. Let me provide you with some examples: if you are a woman staying alone and work in a shopping mall that closes at 10pm, you might reach home around 11pm to a very dark environment. Can you imagine arriving home without lights surrounding your house? If you are living in a remote area (a kampung house) without fencing and with a large compound, where the cost of laying cables and installing lights is prohibitively high, and your house frequently faces intruders or wild animals, these solar lights will make your house very bright. This can make potential intruders think twice before committing a crime.

I always imagine living in a kampung house with a large compound that can park many cars. I would install two solar lights at the front to cover the fencing area, one at the left front facing the back and one at the left back facing the front. Same goes for the right side – one at the right front facing the back and one at the right back facing the front. At the back, I’d also place one on the left and one on the right, so they cover each other. Since solar lights run on batteries that charge using sunlight, you need to install the solar panel where it gets at least 8 hours of hot sun every day. Otherwise, the lights will be really dim and not bright enough.
