Solar Accent Lights

Accenting your home is what solar powered lights do best! Solar accent lights are not powerful enough to become the main source of lighting at this stage in their development. They do provide additional illumination and safety for your garden, and this is the perfect job for these freestanding lighting devices.

Here is where you can get really creative with your patios, trees, shrubs or xeriscape gardens. Solar accent lights can bring that certain style and mood to your nocturnal landscape and add character during the day time.

Solar accent lights can be found in many styles and with many characteristics for your particular house style. For these guys you will need to choose the sunniest location to get the most benefit from the sun, because the solar cell is built into the individual fixtures. Charges will typically last up to 8 hours. The fixtures will also turn on and off automatically.

A vast collection of solar accent lights is available throughout on-line and local stores. We've tested quite a few of them and are showing some of our favorites here.

This attractive design makes these little lights a nice complement to a garden.

This is what comes in a set. Some parts are plastic, some aluminum and some are stainless steel. So we cannot call it a completely stainless steel light as it was presented to us. But the light is still good quality in comparison to some other solar accent lights on the market.

There is also a manual on and off switch on the back, if needed. But light turns on automatically as it gets dark. You can see the two LEDs that produce all the light.
