Do copper solar powered landscape lights rust?
Global Warming  Climate Change



No, they may not tarnish either. Most of the landscape lights you buy will be pre-finished and coated with a clear protectant. Our copper lights have been outside for months without any damage at all, they are coated in a clear sealer by the manufacturer. If yours are (and they probably are) the most you should need to do is wipe them clean every so often. If they are not, over time they will darken and slowly turn green, the package should say if they aren't. There are any number of commercial cleaners out there to clean the tarnish off, some very good home remedies too. If they do tarnish and you don't like it, you can clean them and coat them with a clear sealer yourself so they don't tarnish again. I like Minwax Satin Finish Acrylic Sealer, which you should be able to get at Home Depot, or Lowes.

Whole House Solar Landscape Lighting « Homeownerbob#39;s Blog

The light bulbs alone change the power usage from 500 Watts per hour to less than 15 Watts.

Standard 12 Volt AC Landscape Lighting Systems: This drawing is a general depiction of a landscape lighting system including 8 light fixtures with a 500 Watt transformer. In this scenario, using the 80% rule you have 420 Watts of usable power. If you used 50 Watt bulbs you have a budget of a little over 8 fixtures. 

Solar Powered 12 Volt DC Landscape Lighting System: For me, it’s cost prohibitive to build a 500 Watt solar lighting system. By converting the bulbs to LED and reducing the fixture count to 6, I created a similar system using solar power. Granted, the brightness will be good but not near as bright as the 50 Watt incandescent bulbs, but 6 to 10 times greater than the current breed of solar light fixtures on the market today.  If you look at the second drawing, I have removed the transformer, reduced the fixture count to 6, removed the connection to the utility AC and added the solar equipment and battery.
