Since the electricity bill reform came into effect in June, users have been juggling to save on electricity consumption. That is why we have brought you some examples of solar powered LED bulbs and lamps and that they will come in handy to save a few cents in our day to day life.
How do they work?
As you have surely been able to glimpse, LED bulbs and lamps have a photovoltaic cell system incorporated into the surface of these products. This means that the sun’s radiation that hits the device can be transformed into light energy.
The lamps and LED bulbs with this technology also have a battery, in charge of receiving said energy and storing it for when it is needed. There are those with motion sensors, and those that can be controlled by a remote control, or even a mobile device.
The main advantage of this type of lighting is that virtually no installation required. We only need to see where we want to place it. They are generally useful in open spaces such as gardens or patios. This is because it requires sunlight to charge faster, and outdoors it will be more effective.
Along with all this, you have to know that maintenance is extremely easy, since just by cleaning the photovoltaic panel with a damp cloth or sponge from time to time, we will reduce its performance during its useful life.
Types of lamps and LED bulbs
As we have mentioned above, this type of lighting is often used in outdoor environments, although its use is not purely exclusive for exteriors. And it is that we can also illuminate our rooms with this type of lamps, although for their correct operation it would be necessary to recharge them for a few hours in the sun.
Under these lines we leave you with some examples with which to illuminate your home without practically any installation and that allow us to also save on the electricity bill.
Keep in mind that the vast majority of the examples below are IP65 certified, and a need to charge your batteries for eight hours before your first use.

Although we have incorporated examples of lamps for interiors, it must be taken into account that their efficiency will not be the same, since the sun’s rays do not affect directly, so it is possible that at some point we have to take the lamps to the Sun and let them charge for a while. However, these lamps will help us even if it is to save on the electricity bill, not having to worry at least about the lighting outside.
