landscaping lights after that step06/23/2006 Over the years we have completed many projects in our yard. We live in the country so there are no street lights to light our yard at night. We do have motion sensor lights at our backdoor to help light the entrance that we use most often, but the front yard always appeared quite dark. We did not want to leave the light on at the front door because it tends to attract bugs. We decided we would look at landscaping lights to place along the sidewalk. The following information in this article should be exactly what you are looking for and I hope it helps you. At the home improvement center we found that there are a wide variety of landscaping lights to choose from. Some of the landscaping lights were sold in sets and others were sold individually. There was a wide variety of solar powered landscaping lights. We liked this option because we would not have to run cords and wires. We have two dogs that like to chase chipmunks and squirrels and we were concerned that they would get tangled in wires and electrical cords. The solar landscaping lights have a battery that is charged by sun light. The lights come on automatically at dusk and stay lit for several hours. We liked the idea that the lighting would not cost additional money on our electric bill. Each solar light has its own battery cell, so they do not have to be placed a certain distance from each other. With the electrical lights you can only space them as far apart as the length of the cord as an illustration. We purchased eight solar lights that were shaped like small coach lights. They were made of copper and attached to stakes that you push into the ground. We placed them around the front and side of our home amongst the shrubs. In placing them you need to be sure that the cell that gathers the solar light is facing north. We had also purchased two larger solar lights that hang on shepherd hooks. We placed one of these at the beginning of the front walk way and one by the back walkway to start off. The landscaping lights are very attractive. They turn on and off automatically and not only provide for safety, but add beauty to the area as well. The lights that are low to the ground around the bushes do not seem to attract bugs. The lights that are placed on the shepherd hooks are far enough away from the doors that the bugs they attract do not cause an issue for getting in and out of the house. We like the landscaping lights so much that we are going to add a few spot lights to the backyard ornamental trees. The spot lights are placed about a foot from the base of the tree and are positioned to shine up the tree. This will add light and safety to the backyard as well if you think about it. This information was a culmination from many different places and resources. You should never just believe one resource and you should study a subject from a few different perspectives. |
