Solar Lights for the Holidays
The Holiday season is upon us, and for many of us, it is time for decorations. Are you looking for something to replace those old, tired Christmas lights with the burned out bulbs? How about those ancient Halloween decorations? Solar Halloween or Christmas lights may be the answer to your prayers!
Decorating your home for the holidays can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a huge hassle. You have to replace bulbs for burned out lights, run power chords everywhere, your electric bill goes through the roof - not to mention that you are always nervous when it rains! None of those problems exist with solar holiday lights, but do they look good?
In just the last few years, solar lighting companies have come out with lots of new styles and applications. This is due to the fact that solar technology has developed so much recently. There are now many different types of solar Christmas and Halloween lights. Some examples of Christmas lights are:
Solar Net Lights - These are basically a "net" of LED lights that you use to wrap a shrub. They light up at night and a sensor turns them of when the sun rises. They stay lit for about 8 hours and require 1 AAA battery that is sold separately.
Solar Christmas Lights (string lights) - These come in a string of (usually) 50 lights. They are perfect for using just about anywhere you need to string lights, like: hand railings, trees, fence posts, etc. They also have a daylight sensor that turns them on and off at the appropriate times.
Multicolor Solar LED Christmas Lights - These are exactly like the Solar string lights, except that they are multicolored. They also have 50 LED bulbs and daylight sensors.
Solar Blue Snow Flake Lights - I personally have these and I love them. They are really bright and very pretty. There were a couple of bad reviews on Amazon from people having a problem with the lights shorting out after a while, but I have had no problems with mine. They are only $8 for a string of 20, and the seller has great feedback, so for me, it was worth trying.
Some examples of Halloween solar lights could be:
Solar Lighted Halloween Jack-o-lantern Decoration - This is an 8" diameter solar powered, smiling jack-o-lantern ornament that you can put in your front yard or porch. It comes with a daylight sensor that turns it off during the day and on at night.
Halloween Sound Activated GO BACK or BOO Rocks - These look like plain old 9.5" by 6" by 4" rocks during the day, but at night they light up with a glowing message that says "Boo" or "Go Back". These solar powered rocks also come with a day/night sensor.
Solar Powered Halloween Skull Decoration - This is a "skull" version of the jack-o-lantern decoration. It's about 10" in diameter.
Needless to say, they all come with the benefits that we have come to expect from all solar lighting products, like: ease of installation, energy efficiency, versatility, etc. Not to mention, most traditional lights need to be either turned on and off manually, or attached to a timer. All of these solar holiday lights come with daylight sensors. It doesn't get more trouble free than that!
