I'm glad to see this article (stub) exists, but it needs work. While I'm sure an indoor solar lamp is portable, since when are the outdoor ones? While they can be relocated, they are hardly portable (at least not the ones that stake into the ground). And while the indoor reading lamp kind may be plenty bright, the outdoor kind are much dimmer, probably more like 10 watt equivalent. I don't know enough about them to make the edits now, but I'd recommend it to anyone with more knowledge on the subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.84.32 ( talk) 09:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
There is some more work done on the subject at Solar Lights, I suggest that the articles be merged, solar lamp is the better name, I think, so it is not confused with sun light.-- Thorseth ( talk) 09:11, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
"Outdoor lamps are used for lawn and garden decorations. Indoor solar lamps are also used for general illumination (i.e. for garages and the solar panel is deattached of the LED lamp)."
Not necessarily; it's possible to use a solar rock light [1] for indoor lighting as well.
Here the solar panel cannot be deattached and doesn't have to; if just by day it is put in a place, where there's enough daylight, to reload the inside battery.
Especcially in more sunny parts of the planet this can be an affordable, easy to use and very environment friendly way to have some illumination inside a room, a shed or a hovel.
In less sunny parts it's allways possible, to use more examples, when (especcially in winter), there's to little light, to load the battery completely on one day. VKing ( talk) 16:59, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
Cost commparison is too superficial in this section. Durability needs to be mentioned: how long do the solar lamps function effectively, compared to fluroescent or incandescent lights?
I have solar-powered motion detector lamps in my yard here in the tropics. They die a lot faster than LED light bulbs. Martindo ( talk) 00:52, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
