What is the difference between solar lights and incandescent or fluorescent lights?
Solar lights are equipped with LED’s. An LED is a semiconductor device that emits visible light when conducting current. Therefore, solar lamps give off a different type of light than incandescent and fluorescent lights. A common mistake is to compare wattage between LED units and their incandescent and fluorescent cousins – wattage is a function of power consumption, not brightness.
Different types of lamps like CFL, LED, Incandescent, etc.haveĀ variance in the way they color things. A cool white fluorescent lamp has a reddish-yellow appearance while an incandescent fluorescent lamp has an orange color. LED lights used to be blue.
