How much does it cost to put them in? How much does it cost to run them? What are the best lights? Is there any such thing as solar ones? Tell me everything you know about them. Thanks! Also who did you use in the Stephenville area? Thanks again!

We didn't install them so I can't help you there. But typically I notice the cost of running them is compatible with the cost of running the AC in the really hot weather. But I probably only use them for a couple hours maybe four nights a week during the darker days? Cost to use them would totally depend on how much power they are running, how long, how many you have, etc. So many variables. We have four poles with two lights each. Stadium flood lights and I think they are 1500 watt. There are solar security type flood lights out there but depending on how much you need to light up they may not do the trick. I haven't had the best of luck with certain other solar power products I've owned but that's just my personal thoughts on them.

I just put up lights in my arena - 6 of them. They are all LED. The cost of the fixtures is what is expensive. They were $375 each. This included the light bulb. They put out 600 watts each. It will cost me about $30-45 a month to run them.
The complete job was $3,800 total. But, I had the ditcher, the poles and heavy equipment to set the telephone poles.
