Solar powered lights are an ingenious invention to save huge amounts of electricity from fossil fuel while still powering all sorts of lighting fixtures. They also work towards saving the environment. Since solar powered lights can run without any wiring, they are especially useful for decorative lights where wiring would detract from the aesthetic. Solar lights reserve the power they’ve stored during sunlight hours to use at night. It is renewable, with every sun rise, as well as inexhaustible; we don’t expect the sun to die out. Not in our lifetime, anyhow.

So where would you use solar lighting? Solar lighting can be an indoor our outdoor installation. Homes or even commercial buildings can rely on solar lights nowadays. Outdoor solar lights, however, have become even more popular in the past years. Outdoor solar lighting is generally less expensive than indoor, and since the sun is outdoors all day long, outdoor solar lights make the most intuitive sense. Even if you’re not trying to make a political or environmental statement!

No one will even install them in the first place! You can use solar lighting for the path lights up your front lawn, or deck mount lights and lamp posts at the pool side.
