Yes, I do love reading and sharing with you all the different ways that solar powered lights are being used today in our world.
I thought this article about Southampton airport in the UK using solar powered runway lights is really cool.
Nick-named "Wig Wags" the flashing lights cost £25,000 in total and are used at junctions between the runway and taxiways.
Southampton is the first UK airport to install the lights which are also used by the US Air Force in Afghanistan.
An airport spokesperson said: "We've been able to minimise the environmental footprint and maintenance costs."
The lights have also been installed in areas of the airport where there is no access to power supplies, saving the £170,000 cost of laying cables.
The possibilities for using solar powered lights are increasing all the time. This technology is here and will only improve with time.
What are you waiting for? Read more about how you can use solar powered lights in your own life which will save you money and help save the planet at the same time.
Talk soon,
Jill
