Solar Lights Are Flexible - 10 Ways To Use Solar Lights

Solar lights are making a big splash in the home landscape. Each solar light is a stand-alone unit - no wires, no electrical connections - energy efficient, environmentally safe. Position where you want - move when the spirit moves.
Here are 10 suggestions for ways to use solar lights to bring added beauty and safety to your yard and garden:

• spotlighting - Solar spotlights usually contain super bright LED's (often more than one)that allow them to be used to provide light in areas where bright light is needed - often for security purposes .
• outline a walk, driveway, garden path-Accent lights are mounted on short poles and several would be used to light a path or driveway. They also work well to light a garden pond or mount on deck rails to light your deck.
• entryway light-This would probably be some type of spotlight which would be mounted near the front or back door.
• step lights-These could be a low profile style solar light that is mounted on each riser, or one or more accent lights placed near the steps.
• atmosphere (mood) lights-Atmosphere lights can be used anywhere inside or out, but are especially effective on deck or patio tables or hung from an overhang or tree branches to provide a display of color. Most atmosphere lights come in several colors - amber, blue, green, red, and white.
• lighted house number sign-These make it easy to find a specific address even in the dark.
• greenhouse or garden shed light-Solar lights make it possible to provide light in any building that is not wired with electricity.
• pond lights-Many gardeners with ponds would love focus attention on their pond at night. Solar accent lights would be ideal in this situation.
• deck or patio lights-Many types of solar lights can be used effectively to light a deck or patio. Low profile lights can be attached to deck rails, mood lights give a subtle colorful glow, and there is a patio umbrella with solar lights in the bars that hold the umbrella open with the solar panel is mounted on top like a button.
• Pole lights-Solar pole lights are the tallest lights and as a result they provide a circle of light over a wider area. They make great curb lights.

Now it's up to you. Use your imagination to make your landscape lighting uniquely you.
Environmentally friendly, energy efficient solar lights for outdoor lighting make sense-no wires, no electricity-just renewable energy from sunlight turned into marvelous nighttime beauty.
