Solar Powered Products

One of the easiest and quickest ways to spruce up your yard, garden or walkway this year is to purchase solar powered landscape lighting. These garden lights have become cheaper each year, with more and more variety available. Have a look in flyers or in the stores and you will be amazed at the selection of these and other garden decor items.

In ouy yard, we have quite a few of these solar powered landscape lights. I bought my wife a set of 6 for mother’s day 3 years ago, and she loved them. Every year she takes them inside the garden shed for winter and returns them to the yard in the spring. One of them is a little busted up after that lawnmower incident, but it still works. A few of the rechargeable batteries needed replacing last year, but other than that our original set is still in service.

The next year my wife bought a couple different styles of solar powered landscape lighting.One was shaped like a rock, and one was three mushrooms in a clump. Both of these landscape lights glow after the sun goes down for hours. She keeps both of these on the deck.

Last year we bought several more of these awesome solar powered landscape lighting items. We found a bunch of them shaped like globes, which hang from stands shaped like shepard’s crooks. These particular lights change colour every ten seconds or so, from red to blue to green. Every summer ight we would look out into our yard and see these solar powered lights shining away. We placed them around a Saskatoon berry tree sapling that we have planted in the middle of the yard. Everyone seems to love them when they come to visit.

I noticed a huge variety of solar powered landscape lighting items in the department stores this year. You can’t beat the prices on these led solar lights. It almost seems cheaper to buy landscape lights than the batteries that are in them.

I am thinking that this year we will be picking up a few stainless steel solar lights. There are many of them available, some in plain silver. There are quite a few of them in burnished copper colour as well, and I’m not sure if these are stainless steel but I suspect they are.
