Turn the Lights On

Turn the Lights On

It’s almost summertime! Which means more outdoor entertainment and fun. This year, creating outdoor mood lighting will set the tone for the rest of your summer nights.

Solar String Lights

You don’t have to do much to set the mood. You can string fairy lights against the fencing, decorative LED candles, lighting up trees from below, or wounding up a string of lights around a tree trunk. These types of lights will give your outdoor living space calming energy. Especially if your backyard has pathways throughout.

Aside from mood lighting, lighting for outdoor kitchen or grilling areas are essential for the gatherings that last well past sunset. Safety is the priority when preparing any food or dealing with any sharp tools or fire. We recommend any lighting that will fully illuminate your outdoor kitchen area. More lighting can still be added to create the atmosphere you desire.

One of the most beautiful and creative ways to light up your landscape is to incorporate lighting that will highlight key features in your backyard that make it unique. We recommend using solar landscape lighting like these because it’s energy-efficient, super convenient, very easy to install and you don’t have to put much effort into any maintenance. The downside to using solar lighting is that the light emitted can vary. You may also want to consider motion-sensor lights for a little extra security.

Here are a few solar landscape lighting options:
