Solar yard lights are a great way to add a touch of sophistication to any outdoor space, and the best part is they are inexpensive and will save you money in the long run.
There are many different types of solar yard lights to choose from, some of the more popular styles include:
Flood and Spot Lights
When flood and spot lights are used in the yard they produce bright illumination where necessary. These lights emit the widest and farthest rays of light of any in the solar category. They are most often used to illuminate around doors and windows as well as entrances to the yard area. Many people use these lights as a security light.
Decorative Yard Lights
These lights give off a soft light and look great. Use them as accent lighting in and around decks, walkways, paths, ponds, pools, or anything in your landscape that you want to subtly show off.
Solar Stake Lights
Stake lighting is most commonly used to illuminate a walkway or path. As the name suggest theese lights look like a stake and can be placed into the ground with ease. They normally have 6-10 inches of “stake” with a moderate sized lighting aperatus on the end.
String Lights
String lights can be a fun accent in and around patio covers or decks. They will remind you of christmas lights, but will look much classier. They give off a soft almost yellow glow and will produce enough light to see by without overwhelming the mood..
These are the most common solar yard lights, however there are many more coming on the market everyday. Take a look around your local home improvement store and pick a style that works best for your landscaping needs.
