Does Artificial Light Power Solar Panels. The watch stores energy in a rechargeable cell to power itself when covered by a long sleeve or during the night. The short answer is yes artificial light can power a solar panel. However their performance and energy outputs will never be as high as if they were exposed to sunlight.
Nonetheless the amount of light of electricity is much lower compared to the amount of power produced by the solar panels when they are working under natural light from the sun. It s self defeating to use artificial light to power solar panels but any exposure to it if unavoidable will increase the power output of the panel.
Sunlight or artificial light is absorbed by the solar panel behind the crystal.
Yes solar panels will work under artificial light but not as efficiently. The dial is either above or on the solar panel. To power the watch the solar panel converts light into electrical energy. The light from most incandescent bulbs is usually able to charge a solar light although not as effectively as natural sunlight.
