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!
Traditional holiday lights are a hassle. You always wind up running extension chords all over the place, burned out bulbs need to be replaced; you have to worry about short circuits due to rain, the huge electricity bills... Yea, it's a pain. Solar holiday lights completely eliminate those hassles, but how do they look?
Recently, the growing development of solar lighting technology has opened the door for manufacturers to offer more styles and options than ever. Solar Halloween and Christmas lights are no exception. Some Christmas lighting examples might be:
Solar Net lights - These lights are solar LED lights that are arraigned in a net. They are used for covering bushes and shrubs. They have daylight sensors that turn them off during the day and back on when the sun goes down. They have about an 8 hour light span.
Solar String Lights - String lights usually come in a string of 50 LED lights. They also come with a sensor that turns them off during the day and back on at night. They are great for stringing along your front porch railing, the eves, in trees and just about anywhere else you want.
Multicolor Solar Christmas Lights - These lights are the multicolored counterparts to the regular string lights. They also have a day/night sensor and usually come with about 50 LEDs.
Blue Snow Flake Solar Lights - These are very pretty lights that come in a 20 light string. They are reported to be very bright and are inexpensive (about $8). I have read reports where they may have some longevity issues, but they are from a reputable company. Their pricing makes them tough to overlook. They are also extremely bright. They may be worth looking into.
If you're looking for Halloween decorations, you can choose:
Solar Jack-o-lantern Halloween Decoration - This 8" solar, smiling pumpkin is perfect for your front porch or lawn area. It has a day/night sensor that lets it charge during the day and light up at night.
Halloween Sound Activated Rocks - These are rocks that charge during the day, and at night light up with a "Go Back" or "Boo" (depending on the model). These rocks are about 9.5" by 6" by 4". They also have a daylight sensor and are solar powered (of course).
Solar Powered Halloween Lighted Skull Decoration - This is exactly like the pumpkin decoration, but in a skull. It is also a little bigger than the Jack-o-Lantern (about 10").
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!
I hope this article was able to give you some ideas for the upcoming holidays.
