A lot of people, when landscaping their yards, use solar lighting to mark pathways or to illuminate shadows around their home for safety. By choosing to use solar landscape lighting, they can reduce the installation time while minimizing the cost, as well as the dangers, of exterior lights. Most reduced voltage lights still require an electric line to run from a transformer somewhere in your home to each light, taking time to dig a trench in the yard in which the line is buried. No wires are needed when putting in solar lighting making it a snap to install them.

Additionally, many of the wired low voltage systems will show a drop in power after the first few lights, meaning that lights placed further away from the transformer will be dimmer than the ones closer to the house. With solar landscape lighting all of the lights are going to be equal in brightness as they draw their power from the sun and not a transformer.

One of the downsides to using solar landscape lighting is they need to have exposure to the sun throughout the day to charge their small batteries so they can light up after sunset. However, external solar cells can be utilized for lights installed in shaded areas with the cell placed in the sunlight and a short wire extended to the charger built into the lights.

One of the drawbacks of regular electrical lighting is the wires that you have to run, especially if you are installing lighting in more remote areas of your yard.

Installing solar landscape lighting in remote areas of the yard only requires mounting the lights on their poles, no wiring needed. Solar lighting eliminates the need for a contractor to install lengthy and expensive cables. Around swimming pools, patios or just to mark a path located away from the home, solar landscape lighting provides the the illumination that you need much easier and much faster.

Solar lighting is designed to come on at dusk and automatically shut off around sunrise to conserve the battery power. The solar cells charge the batteries, which operate the lights later in the day. It is like having a flashlight set along the path with rechargeable batteries that are kept at optimum charge by the power of the sun.

Solar lighting is also a bit safer than traditional lighting especially if you have small children around. Additionally, the power for charging the batteries comes from the sun and not the electric company, saving money on the electric bill.
