Garden Solar Lights
The use of solar lights for gardens and exterior spaces of homes and commercial/public buildings and parks is a welcome new trend in this era of energy conservation and eco-awareness. Solar lighting can cut your utility bills by more than 50%. These lights are also low-maintenance as there are no wires or conduits required. They're also much safer since there's no hazard from dangerous power leakage into wet lawns or pools.
New products in this field include everything from path lights to decorative fairy lights, festive lighting, security lights, wall and access area lighting, highlights, spotlights and accent lights. Different effects are also possible, with shadows, silhouettes, mesh covers, eyelids, moonlight effects, down and up lighting.
It may not be possible to use a single set of any of these solar lights in your garden, since however small the garden space, you can give it a better aesthetic effect with a combination of different wattages, effects, colors and types. Use of lights which may be shaped like natural rocks or stones can add novelty and interest to lawns and pool sides.
Outdoor lighting should be segregated according to the area that needs lighting. Pathways and driveways need low level, low wattage lighting as their main purpose is to provide direction and some amount of visibility – a great option is solar brick panels which can be interspersed with your pathway bricks. Highlights and spotlights require higher wattage, since they're used to draw instant attention to certain special features in your garden like a beautiful old tree or a lovely fountain or rock formation. Down or up lighting can be used in a similar way, but with a softer effect. Wash lighting for walls or facades should be softer and more diffuse.
Keeping these parameters in mind, choose the best one for your garden needs:
Solar light sets: Matched sets in batches of three or more of different heights can be used to decorate a seating area or patio.
Security lights: These lights provide a feeling of safety and security for your family and visitors as they're high visibility lights.
Decorative: In unusual, aesthetic shapes and sizes, these may be hanging lamps, fairy lights strings, pendant lamps, post mounted etc in a variety of materials and finishes. Colored Chinese lanterns in weather-resistant plastic, heavy bronze antique finish hanging lamps, porch-lights and bubble lights in colored glass, etc are some great options.
Table lights: provide a style statement in your seating area or patio. Made of glass, ceramic, terracotta or translucent colored materials, these emit a pleasant, soft glow, ideal for an al fresco dinner or drink.
Create the ambiance and mood that you want with the right kind of solar garden lights and also gift your house with instant “curb value” as passers-by stop to enjoy the beauty of your garden!
