Anita (EnviroGadget Writer) — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 09:00:39 +0000

This Glowing Planter makes an ideal feature for any garden. The planter uses solar power to light the LEDs within the planter to create a pleasing, soft coloured illuminating effect.

The GardenGlo Planter can be used to highlight your potted plants. By placing a plant into the planter it becomes a feature piece of your garden. The planters though can be used for things other than plants, you can for example use them as a colorful and glowing alternative to a drink cooler by simply filling one with ice and drinks! The planters can be used to help light up an area of the garden you wish to feature with their soft glow, or many can be used to light up a pathway or perhaps to show the edge of some decking or of a patio.

The planters can be used both indoors and outdoors as they are fully weatherproof. The solar panel is separate from the planter and needs to be positioned to best take advantage of any sunlight. The panel can only be positioned a short distance away but can be adjusted to allow it to be at the best angle to make use of the available day light. The solar power is stored in the rechargeable AA batteries that are supplied with the planter. The planter automatically illuminates when dusk falls, it can be turned off when required.

The GardenGlo Planter is formed from clarified resin and is available in 6 colours, blue, lemon, frost, green, stone or terra cotta. Each planter has 6 LEDs within it, they produce the warm glow that shines through to illuminate the planter and the area around it. By using LEDs the planter is able to produce a beautiful lighting effect while using very little energy.

These solar planters measure 53.3 cm x 50.8 cm (21 in x 20 in) externally and have an internal measurement of 34.3 cm x 47.6 cm (13.5 in x 18.75 in). The Solar Lighted Planters are a beautiful method of enhancing any outdoor or even indoor area. Due to the planters using eco-friendly solar energy to illuminate themselves they help to produce a special lighting effect at night without incurring any long term running costs. The GardenGlo Planter can be purchased from $145 each, plus delivery.

These Solar Powered Double Head Lamp Posts have been created by Gama Sonic to provide aesthetically pleasing, durable garden lighting solutions.

The lamp heads use beveled glass and Gama Sonic’s patented cone reflector technology to help the LEDs work to maximum effectiveness while providing a classic gas light elegant look.

This powder-coated cast aluminum allows the lamp to withstand even harsh weather and is rust resistant.

The Royal Solar Lamp Post provides you with the ability to set the intensity of lighting you require. Each light has a high and a low setting, the high setting can provide the equivalent illuminating abilities of a 40 watt bulb and the low setting can provide the equivalent of a 25 watt bulb. The rechargeable Li-ion 3.2V batteries are provided and require around 8 – 10 hours of sunlight to fully charge. For each hour that the batteries charge they provide roughly 1.5 hours of lighting capability on high setting, and roughly 2.2 hours on low setting. The Lamp measures 2.25 m ( 7 f 4 in) in total, each lamp is 22.9 cm (9 in) wide as is the base of the post.

The Solar Lamp Post Double Head Light uses 6 LEDs in each of its lamp heads to provide a powerful light. As with the previous lamp post, each lamp head features beveled glass and Gama Sonic’s patented cone reflector technology to help the LEDs work to maximum effectiveness while helping to provide a traditional gas light style appearance to each lamp. The lamp is formed from powder-coated cast aluminum and can be supplied in two colours, black and white. The lamp is fully weatherproof and rust resistant.

Byron Elro ES24 Fluorescent Floodlight With Motion Sensor

Anita (EnviroGadget Writer) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 10:00:36 +0000

The Byron Elro ES24 Fluorescent Floodlight With Motion Sensor helps to illuminate any outdoor area in an energy efficient manner. It achieves this due to its CFL bulb and its use of a motion sensor.

The Byron Elro ES24 Fluorescent Floodlight With Motion Sensor uses a 24w CFL bulb (Compact Florescent Light/lamp). This bulb uses significantly less energy than a halogen bulb would for a similar intensity of light, which helps save on electricity and so produces cheaper energy bill costs. The bulb will also last significantly longer than a halogen equivalent, which helps to save both costs in buying bulbs and costs to the environment in producing and disposing of them.

The Byron Elro ES24 is a black floodlight with a PIR motion sensor (Passive InfraRed) which enables it to work only when it senses movement. This reduces the running costs of operating a floodlight saving on electricity consumption. The floodlight will still provide you with a powerful light when it is needed, either to light your way or to indicate movement (highlight any potential burglars). The floodlight is weatherproof and it has been given a corrosion resistant coating to help provide you with a floodlight that will provide you light for many years.

The Byron Elro ES24 motion sensing light is available for £29.19 with free delivery.
