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.

Solar Light Design

I promised I'd say a few words about the fantastic range of design you can get in solar garden lighting products these days. Because the technology has moved on so much the working parts are small and the focus is put on the design. Designs range from a modernistic globe of light to an old-fashioned looking lantern. The best designers and now getting involved in designing these products as they are selling so well these days.

Photovoltaic Cell Technology

I'd like to tell you all about the latest advances in photovoltaic cell technology that make the solar garden lighting products on sale these days ten times better than they were only a short time ago. As environmental issues have come to the fore and solar lighting has become more and more popular the bods in their laboratories have been spending more and more time on coming up with better technology. Similar to the early days of the internet when there were hundreds of start up companies working on internet-based technology now it is the same for green technologies, most predominantly solar technology.

All this time spent has resulted in the efficiency of photovoltaic cells increasing exponentially. This means the cells themselves can be very small but yield a hig amount of energy storage. What this means for solar garden lighting products is that the techie bits which provide the wizardry of storing sunlight and using it at night to power the lights can be hidden away and the clever designers can put all their efforts into making a product that is beautiful. More on the designers of these products in a later blog.

Shopping Again

I've been shopping for solar lights again and managed to completely transform my outdoor space. The solar lights I bought were a lovely set of decking lights to lights up my decking beautifully, a solar security light to keep my property secure and deter unwanted visitors; and a garden lantern to place amongst my flower bed and reflect of the natural colour of the petals.

Sunshine

It's been a while since I last blogged. I've been busy out in the sunshine, re-positioning my solar garden lights. I've also been chcking out the latest range of solar lights at the Blinking Sun web site. They have a huge range of solar lights, all at fantastic prices.
