Outdoor Solar Lights: Tasteful Tips for Illuminating Your Yard

There's nothing quite as effective as a warm spring day to stifle a bad case of cabin fever. Make sure you make the most of the warm weather this season by sprucing up your yard with some brand new solar lighting fixtures.

In addition to being a very green and sustainable way to shed some light outside your house, solar lighting has a few extra added benefits. Solar powered lights have the advantage of being totally independent from electrical outlets, letting you install lights where you never could before without bothering with tangles of extension cords. Solar lights are also completely self reliant, turning off and on automatically just when you need them.

Choosing solar lights for your yard is a great way to respect the environment and now there are options available for nearly any situation, from garden parties to holiday decorating or year round accent lighting. Take a moment to discover some of the many great products available right now with this quick list of fantastic outdoor solar lights.

Cordless Flood Light

From illuminating statues, shrubs and trees to shedding a little light on a casual evening get together, flood lights are great for countless outdoor applications. This clever cordless solar model by Bell & Howell offers an easy way to light up your yard with the bare minimum of installation. The unit's 4 super bright LED bulbs provide up to 12 hours of brilliant light on a single charge. Best of all, setting it up is as simple as pushing it into the ground right where you need it!

Solar Post Driveway Light

There's nothing more welcoming than the warm glow of an accent light when you come home after dark. Illuminate your driveway, sidewalk or garden with a few of these elegant Solar Post Driveway Lights to add an extra bit of safety to your home. These modern looking posts can be staked just about anywhere and offer up to 8 hours of light from a single day's charge. Built of weather resistant plastic and stainless steel, each light measures 27 inches high.

Solar Lanterns

One of the features some people don't like about solar walkway lights is simply the look of them. If you've been searching for a more rustic looking sidewalk marker with all the benefits of Solar Power, look no further than these attractive Solar Lanterns. Each self contained light can be set to cast either bright white or a rustic lower key amber light and comes complete with a 17 inch shepherd's hook for hanging.

Solar Tube Lights

Whether you're decorating your house for the winter holidays or setting a festive mood at a midsummer luau, these handy Solar Tube Lights are a great hassle free option. Available in lengths of 22 or 39 feet, each strand of lights is protected by a clear PVC tube to withstand even the toughest weather conditions. By day, the lights gather the sun's rays with a separate panel that easily stakes in the ground and at dusk they activate automatically. Decorating with lights has never been easier!

Solar Double Spotlight

Of course, solar lights can help to keep your home safe from intruders as well. The fantastic Solar Double Spotlight can be mounted horizontally, vertically or even staked independently of structures. Its two lights are lit by ten powerful LED lights and can reach up to 20 feet away. Each light can also rotate independently 360 degrees.

The unit gathers energy throughout the daylight hours with an attached panel array and stores its power in three included rechargeable AAA batteries. Best of all, you can mount the double spotlight anywhere and never worry again, since its motion can be controlled from up to 50 feet away with the included remote.

Solar Bug Zapper Light

Beyond simply lighting your path or your home, solar lights have plenty of other practical uses. The handy Solar Bug Zapper Light provides a much needed update to a classic way of controlling those most annoying of summertime pests. However, even though the light is environmentally friendly, it still spells doom for errant moths and mosquitoes.

Without any need for wiring or fancy installation, the Solar Bug Zapper Light lures insects away from you and serves up a quick, fatal jolt of electricity. The unit derives power from the sun through its built in solar array and stores energy in a single included AA battery. A single charge provides enough power for operation throughout the night to keep you and your guests as bug free as possible.

With so many potential uses and so many models on the market, it's tough to justify skipping solar outdoor lights. Find the perfect products for your yard now and enjoy your free illumination all year round!

Why do I tend to bring people in just close enough for my own curiosity of wondering if I can and then as soon?

as they get closer I immediately have this need to push them away, run away from their company, lose interest completely and every flaw in them gets illuminated, I get scared and don't want them anywhere around me anymore.

I am so sorry for this horrible thing of a question.

For me, I do it out of fear. I get scared of people knowing who I really am. Usually when I first meet someone it takes a while for the relationship to develop to the point where we can start opening up to each other... Then right when it gets to that point I back off. For some reason it's just too risky, because when you completely open yourself to someone, there's no going back... They can hurt you bad if they wanted to. It's a trust issue... Maybe you just don't trust people. For me it's a fear of being vulnerable to someone.

Anyways yeah, I do the same thing. I just love drawing people in, just to see if I can. Usually I can, rarely do people shut me out... And the ones that do I get frustrated and try harder. It's really horrible because when they get close enough I get this feeling that I don't really want to be friends anymore. I get annoyed by them.

But then if you're lucky like me, out of some fluke you'll meet a few people that you are so curious about that the curiosity never really goes away... A few years later you end up with a few best friends and they will never let you leave and they won't leave you either. You get so personally invested in them that you really can't, it would hurt too much... They become a part of you. I found three people like this. I haven't let anyone else in though. I hope you find a few for yourself.
