Decorative Solar Lighting, Cutely Appealing and Environmentally Friendly.

Decorative Solar Lighting, it`s true, as its own very unique appeal. Powered by the sun (as with all fixtures in the same family), such as solar pathway lighting, solar step lighting, solar led lighting and others, they are terrific little lighting fixtures which are also excellent for the environment.



Floating Solar Lights

These are so called because they are placed on the water (usually in a pool) where they float and give off a beautiful “glow effect” in the water.

Fully waterproofed you can buy multi-colored ones that change colour. Or just one color the choice is yours You don`t have to only use them in water though, they are great to use as solar deck lighting, or anywhere in fact that takes your fancy.

Solar led lighting comes in decorative solar lighting form and because it uses led lighting (LED) it is even kinder to the environment because led`s can last up to 20 years.

The really great thing about led lighting is that it s made for continuous uses, off and on cycles, day after day, year after year, perfect for the outdoors. Robust should be their middle name. Very cool eh:-).

In the photograph below you will see “Solar Ball Lighting.” The ones in the picture are quite small at 11.5 cm but there are bigger versions on the market and a wide variety of colors and designs to choose from too.

Solar Walkway Lighting

Solar Walkway lighting does a great job of highlighting areas around your walkway or garden pathway. Once again solar led lighting is great to use for this as there an abundance of different styles available and they are dead simple to install.. you simply stick them into the earth:-).

Depending on the length of your walkway space them at roughly 4 –5 ft intervals either side of your walkway. This will not only make your walkway safer to walk at night but it will illuminate the flowers and shrubbery giving them a beautiful hue and glowing-effect at night.

Solar Lamp Post Lighting

Solar Lamp Post lighting is another form of decorative solar lighting you can use to bring added charm and appeal to your home exterior..

They come in many designs and colors in their own right and the good thing about them is that you only need one, maybe two at a push, to make a big difference to your outdoor lighting layout. For best results place one at the beginning of your walkway and one at the end.

For novelty value, disguised solar lighting in the shape of say a duck (as in the photo below) is a great way of adding a unique look to your garden. Kids absolutely love these type of lights and if you are blessed to have children the smile you will bring to their faces will be worth its weight in gold if you choose this type of fixture..

A good tip is to place one of these lights under a rose bush or similar and point the light upwards so that the light flows up and washes over the flowers and shrubbery illuminating them to beautiful effect.

There are Many plus-points too for this category of outdoor lighting..

Very Easy to Install (no wiring etc). Extremely Eco-Friendly (kind to the environment). Maintenance Free (the batteries recharge themselves automatically by solar power = sunlight). Dawn to Dusk Sensors means that they switch themselves on when darkness falls and off again at daybreak. A truly marvellous form of lighting in my humble opinion:-).
