If you're looking for an easy and inexpensive way to add some outdoor lighting to your front or backyard, then some solar powered path lights just might be what you need. Most of these great lights are mounted on narrow poles that easily stick in most terrains, from soil to rock. These eco-friendly lighting options require no wiring and use absolutely no electricity - just mount them anywhere they'll receive direct sunlight and watch ‘em glow when the sun sets.

If the phrase "solar powered light" puts an image of a cheap-looking plastic fixture with a faint, dim glow in your head, you're probably not alone. These older, cheaper models don't light up much of anything and they don't add much to the look of your yard in the daylight. Newer versions are available in multiple colors and metallic finishes and come in a variety of styles to suit just about any decorating taste. Choose from sleek modern designs or add a touch of country charm with hanging or carriage-style path lights.

Many of these solar powered lights are referred to as "path lights," as that is the common use for them. But these accent lights work great in other outdoor areas as well. Some other uses include flower beds, raised planters and in pots, large and small. Anywhere you want to add some accent light that receives direct sunlight during a good portion of the day will work. The best part is since there are no wires and they are easy to install and remove, you can try out different spots until you find the look you want.

Even though these newer solar powered models greatly outperform their older counterparts, they are still only meant for accent lighting. The energy-efficient LED bulbs cannot illuminate large areas, so we recommend using other lighting options as your primary light source and then using multiple solar lights to augment and enhance your outdoor areas. And again, since these great little lights use absolutely no electricity, there are no costs to worry about after purchase. Check out all the new styles at the Eco-Lights website today.
