Solar home and garden lighting

Use of solar lights in the garden are a thumbs up for the environment!  The solar lights are not only cost effective, but are quite functional as increasing the security of your home.  Solar lights consume nothing except sun power, which is a renewable energy and do not use wires.

The solar lights are incorporated to illuminate the path, garden, backyard, driveway or add seasonal lighting.  The lights automatically go on and off without a switch or timer with the amount of daylight.  The savings continue by reducing the need to replace the batteries for a few years.  The lights will work even if there is a power outage.

When installing solar lights, make sure you place them in locations that get plenty of sunlight. Without sufficient sunlight, the batteries will not fully charge.  Clean solar lights with a cloth dampened with hot water and never use chemicals to clean the sun charging panel area.  Check batteries for oxidation build up and clean as needed.

Decorative solar accent lights are available as stones, figurines, lanterns, gazing balls, water fountains, planters, solar ivy on your home, spotlights, solar house numbers, pool lights, house lights, rain gauges and etc.  Some solar lights have features that let you keep them on as white light or switch to display with changing colors (good for holidays or special occasions).  Solar light decorating strands for special holidays are an energy savings.
