Landscape Lights
Solar
landscape lights are an efficient way to light up the beautiful
features of a garden or lawn at night. In addition to this, these lights
keep walkways well-illuminated and safe. Perhaps their best feature,
though, is that they can accomplish these great tasks every night without
adding any electrical costs.
There are many different models of solar landscape lights available
for purchase. The styles in which they are available range from classical
and antique to modern and hi-tech. Some are designed to be staked into
the ground, some hang from hooks, while some are perfect for topping
off lampposts or fence posts.
Consider your lighting needs before deciding which lights to purchase.
Accents lights can create intriguing focal points or add a harmonious
rhythm when used in groups. A light may simply highlight another garden
feature without drawing attention to itself. Others may be desirable
to provide adequate lighting for a potentially treacherous path.
Most solar landscape lights are bought as complete, compact units.
Each light will have a solar panel, battery, and light. There are, however,
some sets that connect to a remote solar panel. Unlike the complete
units, these lights can be placed in the shade, as long as the solar
panel is placed in the sun.
Also realize that some lights are sold individually and others are
sold as sets. Though four lights may be featured in the product photo,
it is possible that each light must be purchased individually.
Solar landscape lights can potentially provide noteworthy electricity
savings. The batteries allow them to store the energy of the sun. This
means that even if there are a few days of darkness due to storms, the
lights can still work.
A relevant practical choice for outdoor lights is a solar hanging lantern.
This type of light can be set on hooks as well as held by its handle.
This is convenient because the light will be charged outdoors daily,
yet it can be brought inside during emergency situations.
