"Grand Solar", Lamp Park Without Power
Lighting and Electrical February 15th, 2010

excessive use of electricity can cause carbon emissions that pollute the environment. One way to save electricity consumption is to use solar energy lights.
Electrical energy crisis is still a hot topic of conversation. Backup power and fuel power plants are less and less forced PLN to rotating blackouts. This is already beginning to be felt by most people. Not only in remote areas but have penetrated into the big cities.
With this limited power source, there are three things that can be done. The first study of electricity wisely using electrical energy sufficient and not excessive. Second, using energy-saving lamps. And third, using alternative energy sources regardless of its form.
For the first and second thing, its only reduce it. Dependence on electrical energy is still there. While the third case, is eliminate the dependence on electrical energy.
The use of alternative energy is the best solution to solve the problem of decreasing supply of electricity. The abundance of energy around you that can be obtained free of charge can be maximized to obtain electrical energy.
Is the sun, the energy source that can be used to generate electricity. There have been many forms of utilization of sunlight to generate electricity. One of them is the light that uses solar resources as a primary energy to light the lamp.
Until now, the lights that use a lot of sunlight is used as street lamps or traffic lights. For residential scale, recently have been available that use the park lights the sun. These products on the market labeled grand solar lights.
According to D. Rasyariel Margiaty, Marketing Manager of PT Indonesia Grand Battery Technologies (marketer of solar grand light), solar garden lamps grand specially created to take advantage of abundant energy from the sun. In Indonesia, this kind of lamps, including new. Distribution of the product began to be marketed around the end of March 2009.
Main components
These lamps use the solar panels are typically used in water heating devices. This device is a major component of the grand solar lights because of this device, the energy of sunlight can be received and stored in the battery.
In general, solar garden lamps grand consists of 3 components. First, leg-shaped lamp pointed. This component serves to plug a lamp into the ground. Second, the light pole. This component has a varying length. For the current size of the maximum height on the market about 60 cm. And the third is the home / head lamps.
Part of which is the most important part of this product containing solar panels, LED lights are a source of illumination lamps, indicator lights, and batteries which store electrical energy.
For materials, the legs and the lamp consists of 2 types, plastic and stainless steel. As for the head lamps, a variety of material in this section because there are a variety of components, ranging from stainless Steel or plastic to house the lamp and the glass or mica as a protective translucent solar panels located on the top of the head lamps.
Energy Saving System Works
The main principle of this work is to capture light energy and store solar energy in the battery. In the daytime, solar panels located on top of the lamp or the light catching the light. Not only captured sunlight but also UV light when the sun does not shine brightly also can be captured by solar panels device.
Thus, in conditions of cloudy or cloudy weather, solar panels can still perform its function to capture the energy. This is different if no such sunlight at night, the solar panels can not get energy.
Rays or energy is then converted into electrical energy through a photovoltaic process. Electricity generated by solar panels is stored directly in the battery. When solar panels work, light red indicator lights up. If the process of filling the energy from solar panels to the battery is full, the indicator light off automatically.
Electricity is already stored in the battery, can drain the energy listik. Live slide lever light switch at home, the lights were lit. In a full battery condition, the lamp will light for approximately 12 hours.
To get a full battery, it only needs a minimum of 4 daylight hours and the sun was shining without clouds. In cloudy or overcast conditions, the lamp can still save energy. However, no bright lights and the time is also reduced if menyalanya not get full of energy.
The lamp is only a little energy from the sun could only burn approximately 6-8 hours. Compact Multipurpose designed solar lamp is bolted grand easy in use. Pemasangannyapun very easy. Enough with menancapkannya into the ground. Or for hanging model, the lights stay put
on the surface of the wall.
It’s just that, for households not fenced lights which are embedded in the ground should be bolted or planted in the concrete blocks that are not easily taken ignorant hands. Variety grand solar lights distinguished by light materials, sizes, and the device cross-section area of solar panels. This diversity also determines the sale price.
For the light of stainless steel are more expensive than plastic lamp. In comparison, for the light from a plastic material worth about USD 110 thousand – 200 thousand USD. Varian grand solar lights also dibebakan of color it LED lights. There are white and yellow. However, the light color does not affect the price difference.
With the use of such lamps, electrical energy in the home could save around 10%. Electricity bill can decrease each month. Save it?
Advantages Compared to Common Garden Lights
1. Electric energy sources are not inexhaustible. As long as there’s life, the sun will shine. Indonesia’s geographical location on the equator line and also receive the sun’s heat during the season, became more distinct values. Maximum utilization will be more than those living in polar regions.
2. Environmentally friendly. Viewed from the overall material, the lamp uses environmentally friendly materials. Even for the grand battery of his cell for electrical energy storage does not contain cadmium and alkali.
3. Economical cost. Using this garden lamps you buy goods compared with the double bonus. In addition to the lamp flame will never die, except for electrical energy stored in the batteries run out, these lamps save you electricity bills. Although the count of money is relatively expensive price, if calculated more closely again count this money is relatively cheap. This is because the portion of electricity bills for the use of garden lighting can be reduced while you use this lamp.
4. Without fuel and pollution free. There’s no fuel used to light the lamp. Everyone enjoyed free of charge and free of charge. In the future, its use will not cause a problem, Also there is no pollution resulting from the use of this lamp.
5. No need special care costs. It makes one lazy person is caring for an item. Good stuff, if the treatment is difficult, people will easily turn. But not with this plant lights. Just need to wipe the surface of the solar cell so that dirt does not close the energy of sunlight it receives. Materials are also anti-fungal light and not easily corroded so that consumers increasingly easy in maintenance.
Blur Light Create Dramatic Impressions

A work of art looks more dramatic in the beam of light. Every detail was clear, so “fixing” the eyes to continue to look at him.
A pride for us, if you can display a work of art at home. There was always painting or sculpture, an architectural element that could enhance a room called a work of art. Unfortunately it was, if the element is pretty amazing eyes only for a moment. Highlight the beauty with the help of the light.
Like the game of the wall in this photo. Lights make details more obvious wall. The light from a row of lights on it also created gradations, which adds a dramatic impression. Games of the wall becomes more eye catching. Not just interesting to glance, people might stop for a moment to notice.
Lighting played a big enough to give play to a room or object. But not just any lighting. Some things need to be a concern, among them the selection of light colors. Apply light with yellow light. Yellow light reflected from the original color of the illuminated object.
Note also the light placement, especially for objects berpermukaan glass and glossy. Avoid direct the lights to the front of the glass, because it will cause reflection. Should place the lights at the top of the object. Let the light refracted into the surface.
Then see the result, architectural elements, or any art, will increasingly look interesting. Similarly, the display room where works of art had been placed
Designing the Garden Lamp Installation

The existence of possible small garden lighting. But judging from the function, the light can create interesting atmosphere in your garden.
Designing a garden lighting requires flair and imagination. Not too special expertise is needed, unless you arrange with the park lights high difficulty level.
Called hard, if the number of light points more than three, or because the park is very spacious and many angles to be enlightening.
For a small garden, garden lighting can be done alone. The most important of the arrangement of light in a small park is the choice of lighting, security, cabling installation, and determine the point you want lit.
Use low voltage lights
For outdoor purposes such as parks, use lights and house lights water resistant specifications. Types of incandescent lights or can lights. Lights and house lights are usually berspesifikasi made specially, so resistant to splashes of water and therefore not easily shorted.
Garden lighting devices have a low voltage (12 volts) and high voltage (220Volt). The best choice depends on the needs. For security reasons, you should select the device low voltage garden lighting, especially if the lights will be placed in the water. This prevents a fatal accident if there is leakage current. Low voltage small potential to harm the body and cause a fire.
About cable is also important. Use the appropriate cable. Choice of cable types is important because it related to the supply voltage electrical energy. The longer the cable, the greater the chance of voltage drop. To park not too wide with the number of points a little light, you can use fibers or wire cable measuring 1 mm2. Park area requires a longer cable, it is better to use the cable wire size 1.5 mm2. Hopefully this information helps.
