- Garden lights come in an amazing array of styles and shapes. Many have tiny solar panels incorporated into the design of the light and are simply placed in a sunny location where they'll capture sunlight during the day and a small battery stores the energy til the sun goes down then, voila, the light turns on by itself at night.
Some types of solar powered landscape lighting have a solar panel that is separate from the lights themselves. We choose this style when we want to backlight shrubbery (Place lights behind or inside plantings for a dramatic effect) because the light itself can be placed in a shady area as long as the panel is placed in the sun.
- Light the way to your door, a gazebo, a favorite sitting area, the garage, wherever. Solar powered landscaping lights guide the way and prevent trampling of your foliage. Lots of options exist from ground level lights to knee height lamps to decorative torchlights to illuminate your walkways and garden paths.
- Flood lights are an excellent choice for casting light directly on to focal points and special garden features. Also floods are great for backlighting dense shrubbery.
- Incorporate solar lighting right into your brickwork. Solar bricks are designed to be set into your walkway, driveway and other landscape features. They are weather proof, durable and batteries can be changed to ensure long term use.
- For safety's sake use motion detector lights. There are places in your yard that you may not want brightly lit most of the time. This is the place for motion detector lights. For safe nighttime passage around driveways, pools, outbuildings, stairways and in front of doorways you want bright illumination. One of our favorite things about motion lights is that while homeowners like them, intruders don't.
- Charm your guests while lighting their way. Solar powered lamp posts form a striking welcome for your visitors.
- Have a holly jolly Christmas and a beautiful holiday landscape without the scary electrical bill that follows conventional lighting displays. They'll turn themselves on and off too.
