Solar Lighting For the Garden Saves Energy and Gives a Warm Glow

The sun powers your outdoor lighting? Yes, this is not only economical, it is also ecologically smart. Solar lights use the sunlight to charge batteries which power the solar lights. Solar lights may be set to automatically go on at night and can stay alight for up to 9 hours or more.

Solar Lighting Shines a Romantic Glow

Solar outdoor lights are excellent for the garden yard, deck or entry path, giving a romantic soft garden glow. Garden lighting effectively adds a warm touch of home, even before entering the house. Individual accent lights showcase interesting elements in the yard. Spotlights can make a plain tree look spectacular at night, which may just increase your property value as well.

Solar Lighting in the Garden. The Practical Option

The solar receptor panels generally last about 20 years with proper care. Solar garden lighting helps illuminate dark paths, or highlight certain landscape elements. There are solar lights that can be installed onto the house or poles, so that it is not so easy for thieves or vandals to walk away with the fixtures.

Solar Garden Lighting Scares away common Burglars

Solar lighting helps to scare away thieves, by giving the feeling of someone is at home here. In fact, there may be solar lights that can be set to turn on and off at certain times in the evening, just like you may now be using light timers inside the house to give the impression that someone is at home turning the lights off and on at certain hours in the evening. Movement detectors on solar lights are extremely good in preventing unwanted guests, and just as effective at welcoming an expected friend. Do you remember the feeling you felt as you approached the front door of a house of a friend, as the front poor light went on as you approached the stoop? You may have had an alarmed feeling, like Clifinar did, or felt happy that the area became lighted, aiding you in finding the steps, avoiding cracks in the walk, or the garden hose hat may have accidentally been left lying across the entry path!

Solar Lighting and Caring for your Garden

During the Fall and Spring, when you are arriving home in the early evening, many times it is just getting dark, or is already dark. With the energy-saving solar lighting you have installed, you can comfortably see your garden and be able to water the garden. Evening hours is a perfect time to water, as evaporation is not a problem, as it is in the hotter daytime hours.

Outdoor solar lighting creates a welcoming ambiance of warmth and safety. That could be why Mom always left the light on for you.
