How To Use Solar Powered Lights For Decoration
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Do you have curb lighting, driveway lighting, or patio lights at your home? If so, I'll bet they're solar.
Solar lights increase visibility and safety. They're highly cost effective and can make a significant difference in your energy bill. With no electrical wires, or plug-ins necessary, they can be placed anywhere in your landscaping that you desire. They're weatherproof and require little or no maintenance. You can have bright light or low light, depending on the number of LEDs used, and the fixture in which it is contained.
There's an incredible selection of outdoor solar lighting on the market today. There are lady bugs, lights that look like Japanese paper lights, and other luminaries, along with a myriad of other styles and designs. They've become so popular, in fact, it's hard to find a home that doesn't have any.
Solar energy is increasingly becoming beautiful, reasonably-priced garden art. Rechargeable AA batteries (solar charged of course) are combined with LED lights in fixtures created by imaginative artists. This decorative garden art takes you from the romantic to the frivolous and accents your landscape without the requirement of a string of electrical lights and a plug-in, or a minimum-maximum spacing 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.
From fireflies to Calla-Lillies, Finials, Fuchsia Finials, to the beautiful Soji Lanterns, Allsop Gardens has solar lighting artistic creations to please the most discriminating decorator.
Solar path lights, candle glass lights, solar spotlights, and solar tube lights can be found at the Solar Light Store, along with many other solar lighting options.
They're available in stepping stones also, making it easier to know where you're going, and to "light your way" as you traverse a dark section of your yard after dark. You won't need a flashlight to see where you're going, and the person behind you won't be left in the dark if you're the only one with the flashlight.
Helping ensure your home can be easily found is another great use for solar lights. A solar lighted house number turns on automatically after dark, and makes it an easy find for emergency providers when there's an accident, or a medical emergency, or fire. They're great gifts for parents, especially if they're living on their own, and might someday really need help, but can't get to the yard light to get it turned on. On more than one occasion, an easily visible address marker has saved a life.
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.
Decorative solar lighting fits any budget and any style.
OK, yes, you can go hog wild over decorative solar lighting. You can have fireflies in every tree, a turtle on every rock, soft romantic lighting around your hot tub, and a light-strewn pathway that will ensure no visitor, guest, or family member will trip for lack of lighting.
Do you have a water feature...or want a water feature? You can have one that uses only solar energy, for the pump as well as any lighting you desire. Try some solar lights encased in realistic-looking stones to light up your waterfall, or soft submergibles. You can enjoy your water feature as much during the night as you do in the day with solar power to run it.
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.
