These lights work as the solar photovoltaic cells work to directly convert sunlight into electricity and then charge the internal rechargeable batteries. A lot of solar lights use the AA type of rechargeable batteries for their sole source of power. A disadvantage to this is that an adequate amount of sunlight is necessary to properly charge the batteries. As for the batteries, AA rechargeable batteries are fairly inexpensive and could be found locally. These batteries need to be replaced around every two to three years or as necessary. During nighttime, a button style photocell serves as the switch, which would activate the bulb, that the rechargeable batteries provide power to. A fully charged solar light is able to remain on for almost up to 15 hours. These lights use bulbs, which are usually made up of one or more LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes that give off very soft lights to your walkways.
