Solar lights have so many uses, landscape lights, path lights, security lights, patio lights, decking lights, highlight plants and trees.

Solar lighting requires no maintenance

Solar lights need no wiring, no maintenance, well, ok, so an occasional wipe with a cloth to clear dirt covering the solar panel, and are available in dozens of styles at amazingly low prices. You don't even have to worry about timers, or switching them on. When it's daylight solar lights switch off and start charging the batteries, then when it gets dark, they come on automatically. Of course, most come with an off switch so you don't have to have the lights switched on.

After the initial purchase solar lighting incurs no running costs, no extra wiring to buy and no timers.

Solar lighting is versatile

Because solar powered lighting does not require wiring, it means you are able to move them around to achieve different effects, try things out, highlight one plant in the summer, and use the same solar light to highlight another in the winter. A perfect way to achieve different landscape lighting effects in your garden.

You can also add to the solar lighting as and when you want. You don't have to buy all your lights in one go. Purchase a few path lights this month, then maybe a couple of solar spot lamps next month and then some solar landscape lights the month after. You could eventually plan to have a garden full of light, but without having a large financial outlay up front. And by using solar lighting, it will cost a lot less than using conventional wired lighting with no ongoing running costs.

Solar lights can be installed in places it would be impossible or difficult to install wired lights. On wooden fences, on wooden buildings, anywhere. Because there are no wires, no heat, solar lights are safe and convenient to fix anywhere. Landscape lighting could not be easier than with solar lights.

The lack of wiring also means you do not have to plan in advance where you are going to place your solar lights and lay wires ready. If you are going to landscape your garden, it is one thing less to think about in the planning stages, solar lights can be fitted after the rest of the landscaping is finished. And of course, solar lighting saves on the cost of buying wiring and covering the wiring in a sheath to protect it from rodents and spades.
