Solar Spotlights on Cacti

Post by SteenAZ »

Does anyone have an opinion of there is any harm in using solar spotlights to light up my display garden at night and make it look super spectacular? Do they need a break from light? The problem is the solar lights stay on all night long unlike ones you can put on a timer.

My Cephalocereus senilis has lights on two sides and looks so cool glowing at night.

From certain angles people have commented that some sections look like coral or a sea bed.

I'm not sure, but this thread from a while back discussed the effects of night lighting.

I had similar thoughts when I had to move my cacti to a place with lights during the night. I started a topic named "darkness and cacti stomata", you can use the search tool to find it and have further info.
