When you are lighting your backyard the last thing you want to do is to be tripping over extension cords and trying to put lights near an outlet to plug them in. If, however, you went with solar lights you wouldn’t have this issue.

Solar lights take their power from the sun, store it in internal batteries and then shine brightly throughout the dark night. With so many options, you can have solar lights for safety and to beautify your home, all at the same time and all with lower electricity costs while being environmentally friendly. It’s a win win.

If you have steps in the yard you may want to use lights that will illuminate those steps when its dark. This will eliminate feeling around for the steps and reduce accidents. They are pretty accents to your steps too and of course come in a variety of shapes and colours.

Likewise for a pathway. Illuminating it at night takes the guess work out of the equation and allows for a pretty glow besides. Path lights can be low to the ground or can be on sticks to make a pretty accent to the sides of the path itself. They too come in a variety of shapes and colours to be the perfect addition to your landscaping.

Did you know that the flag code suggests that you light your flag at night? Never fear, there is a solar light just for that purpose and now the flag will never look better against the dark sky.

You spend a lot of time and money on your landscaping so why not show it off at night as well? There are many different solar spotlights on the market that will automatically shine on your perfect landscaping or beautiful tree at night. You can also implement landscaping lights into the landscaping itself for accents throughout the year, day or night.

Decks look so festive and summery when they have lights on them. Now you can get solar string lights to give your deck that great light and cozy feel, and they also come in all the popular shapes and colours.

You knew it had to happen and it has, as now you can get Christmas lights that are fully solar powered. No more will you have to figure out the best way to display them while being near a socket to plug them in and gone are the dangerous and unsightly extension cords!
