Range of Solar Garden Lights

It's amazing how many new solar garden lighting products are coming on the market. It seems almost on a daily basis there are new environmentally friendly solar lights for your garden. Nowadays the solar technology has moved on so much that the manufacturers focus on the aesthetics of the light rather than having to worry about accomodating clunky technology. This results in vast range of solar lights, from the beautiful like the Murano Solar Garden Globe to the cool like the Sun Jar, to the downright quirky like the Hedgehog pack.

Solar Garden Lantern

I'm now the proud owner of a Solar Garden Lantern. This simple product is extremely inexpensive but is miraculous in the way it works. It is really simple to put together - you just screw the parts of the stake together and hang the lantern on the stake. Stick the stake wherever you want the solar light. I've got mine in a bed next to my pond - perfect. Then you switch it on and let the solar panels do their work. As dusk descends the light switches on and it has a flickering candle effect which really makes it look like a real candle, flickering away in your garden. For under a tenner this solar garden light is a must have.

Solar Security Lights

Looking out of the window once the sun has gone down my garden looks pretty dark in some corners so I thought I'd better invest in some solar security lights. Before I did that I was trying to understand what would be the environmental impact of adding a load of solar lights to my garden. Obviously they're envrionmentally friendly because they don't use electricity but are they damaging the wildlife at all. I think it depends on where you place them and how bright they are. More on that next time.

Solar Light Choices

Well I've been browsing around for some new solar garden lights and I've come across some great products. You should check out the Sun Jar. It's a simple jam jar with a light in it powered by solar power alone. Who'd have thought such an environmentally friendly and simple item would look so cool. I've also looked at the Venetian Solar Lights, very cool and modern stake lights that would look super along my new path. Then there's the Colour Changing Coasters which are drink mats which light up as it gets dusky. My patio's going to be a party of solar lights this summer.

Solar Path Lighting

I finally finished the path I've been building in my front garden for the last few months last week. So now I'm starting to plant along the edges which is the fun part. I'm going to plant some lovely eco friendly roses and some ivy. I'll also put some solar garden lights along the path lighting the way up. It's a joy to watch the daffs coming out this time of year - they're so decorative as much as the garden lights and easy to install.

Despite the forecast the sun is shining again today but I'm stuck in the office. I can't wait until the weekend when I can get back in the garden. My new solar garden lights should be arriving in the next couple of days and I'm eager to try them out.

Animal Lights

I should also say before I pop off to bed that I found a new set of animal themed lights on my favourite solar garden lighting web site earlier on. They are cute little sets of lights that come in four styles: bee, hedgehog, frog and otter. You should check them out, they're so great and of course, environmentally friendly.
