About Solar Accent Lights

If you live in a rental property or would like to decorate a vacation home, solar accent lights are great way to go green and save money. Just about any outdoor lighting fixture that you might think of is now available in a solar powered model. You can find tier lights to illuminate a walkway, pole lamps to light an outdoor living area, or hanging lights to drape over deck rails for a warm, festive ambiance.

When planning outdoor accent lighting, you can combine form with function. Start by evaluating how you use your outdoor space. If you spend a lot of time on your deck or patio, consider hanging solar string lights (also known as “fairy” lights because of the whimsical touch they bring) for instant charm. They’re quick and simple to install, and just as easy to take down when you move to a new home, pack up to return home after your long weekend, or when you just want to change the scenery a bit.

For a more formal look, you can add portable solar standing pole lamps to light up your outdoor areas. There are a variety of styles to choose from, whether you prefer traditional or modern designs. Create an air of classical elegance with faux wrought iron designs made from lighter weight materials for greater portability; or make a statement with stainless steel, copper, or other metals in contemporary designs.

For something a bit smaller, portable solar tier lights can be mounted on stakes and temporarily anchored into the ground. Use these to border the perimeter of a patio or pond, or to highlight an ornamental garden or a particularly treasured plant, like your favorite rose bush in full bloom.

Outdoor solar lighting requires little maintenance; you’ll simply need to monitor the rechargeable batteries. Install outdoor solar lights to create the right mood for the occasion, then easily put them away until the next time you entertain or take a trip. Solar accent lights are a fun, easy, eco-friendly way to complement any outdoor living area.
