Do you have curb lighting, driveway lighting, or patio lights at your home? If so, I’ll bet they’re solar.
If you want to increase safety and visibility around your home or business, solar lights are great. They’re cost effective, also, which you’ll especially notice if you use them to replace utility-power electrical lights. Decorative lighting is especially easy to place anywhere in your landscaping you choose, as they require no electrical wires or plug-ins. Plus, depending on the number of LED’s and the fixture in which they’re placed, you can choose bright light or low light.
If you look in the marketplace today, you’ll find a gigantic selection of outdoor solar lights. There’s a myriad of designs, including luminaries looking like Japanese paper lights, butterflies, flowers, turtles and lady bugs. In fact, it’s hard to find a home today that doesn’t have some type of decorative outdoor solar lights.
New, beautiful, affordable garden art is being designed for indoor and outdoor solar energy lighting. Using rechargeable AA batteries (solar charged, obviously), combined with LED lights, fixtures are being created by some very imaginative artists. From the romantic to the frivolous, decorative garden art can easily accent your landscape…without having to have that string of electrical lights, plug-ins…and often a minimum-maximum space requirement.
You can be as creative as the artist in your placement of your decorative lights and create exactly the setting you want. You can change your look on a whim, or by elaborate design. Whatever theme you may want to capture for a particular outdoor event, you can move easily from dusk into darkness with exactly the lighting that will best accent and capture the mood.
What do you want? Fireflies, Finials, Calla-Lillies, Fuschia Finials and beautiful Soji Lanterns can all be found at Allsop Gardens. If you’re a discriminating decorator, you’ll be sure to find exactly what you want from the most artistic of creations.
Are you looking for solar spotlights, or solar path lights, candle glass lights, or solar tube lights? If so, check out the Solar Light store, where they carry a large variety of decorative solar lighting.
Look for solar stepping stones to pave your lighted way across your yard. Solar stepping stones make it easy to see where you’re going. You can see the path ahead, and you can easily move across a darkened yard without a flashlight. Not only is this better for you, it also helps the person who might be walking behind you, who might easily be stumbling along unable to see if you were the person in the lead with the flashlight.
Since they turn on automatically after dark, using solar lights designed as house numbers is a great safety feature, allowing your home to be easily found when you need an emergency provider for an accident, medical emergency or fire. They also make super gifts for parents, particularly if they’re living on their own, and could have that occasion when they really need help, but didn’t already have the yard light turned on. An easily visible address marker has saved a life on more than one occasion.
Solar powered security lights are another great option. They’re ideal for remote mountain cabins without electricity, as well as ensuring you’ll always have a security light at home in the event of a power outage.
Whatever budgetary goals you may have, you’ll find that decorative solar lighting will fit your needs, and any style you desire.
No question, you can go overboard with decorative solar lighting. With so many choices available, you can have a turtle on every rock, a firefly in every tree, and soft romantic lighting around your hot tub. You can also have a solar stepping stones, or a light-strewn pathway to ensure no guest every trips on their way back from the hot tub, or a night time walk around the yard.
There are also water features that use only solar energy. With some beautiful solar spotlights encased in very real-looking stones, you can light whatever water feature you’ve created. Solar lighting allows you to enjoy your water feature as much, if not more, at night, than you do in the day.
The very best part, of course, is that when you have solar lighting, you don’t have to do anything. No turning on and off lights or even setting timers. Your solar energy decorations will capture and store light throughout the day, and when it’s night, they’ll come on automatically. When daylight returns, they just reverse the cycle, and automatically turn off. And better yet, when all of this happens, your utility meter isn’t moving as a result…not even a fraction.
