If you're undertaking a major landscape renovation or just want to improve the energy efficiency of your existing landscape lighting, why not take advantage of the power of the sun? Traditionally, solar powered lighting produces a soft, warm light that is perfect for landscaping and other outdoor applications, but that's not all these lights can do! With recent advances in technology, solar lights are now suitable for brighter lighting needs as well, such as security lighting and spotlights. Finally, solar lighting won't cost you a penny after the initial cost of fixtures and installation, making it a great long-term investment when everything is said and done.

Works Just About Anywhere
When most people think of solar outdoor lighting they think of small solar accent lights lining paths and walkways. Solar powered lighting is great for such applications, but lining the sidewalk is really only scratching the surface of where these lights can be used. Here's a list of some of the most popular uses of solar lighting by today's homeowners.

Wall Mounted Lights. These lights are perfect for entryways, porches, and to illuminate decks and patios. They come in a large variety of styles, from antique looking fixtures on up to more contemporary designs.

Spotlights and Security Lamps. Solar powered security lamps with built in motion sensors add to the overall safety of your home, while spotlights are particularly well-suited for emphasizing specific landscape and architectural features of your home and garden.

Garden Solar Lighting.
Garden solar lighting comes in all shapes and sizes, from small accent lights on up to more powerful spotlights. Generally, low voltage in nature, garden solar lighting transforms your flower beds and landscaping into something you can enjoy 24 hours a day instead of only during the daylight hours.
