Outdoor Lighting Ideas for the Backyard

 

I am going to give you three Solar light kit options for Outdoor Lighting Ideas for the Backyard.  These three Solar light kits will come ready to illuminate your outdoor patio or deck after a day of sunshine.  No wires to run or transformer to mount..The styles of these kits are very different looking, just have the same basic working guts.

Now lets look at each sets highlights.

This four piece set has textured black metal pole and top, with a glass dome facing towards the ground.  The reflector will spread the brilliant blue white 5000K LED light along your pathway.

Has Sensor to turn on automatically at night.  A switch under the head will let you choose 6 or 10 hours of run time.  Each fixture is 5.5 inches across and 11.5 inches tall without ground stake.

The solar panel on top of the head will charge the 250 mAh 3.2 volt rechargeable batteries during the day. Replaceable batteries are available when the first set fails, do not throw the fixture away when the battery fails to light the fixture.

 

 

Duracell 7LM Solar Pathway Light, 4pk, Stainless Steel

 

Very similar in internal design as the above fixture this set is stainless steel and with glass lens.   The glass lens will not yellow over time as some of the plastic ones. This has a more modern design and will look very upscale in your outdoor space.

The 7.5 lumens bright white 6000k LED light will run up to 8 hours on a full charge on the 250mAh 3.2 volt rechargeable batteries.

The fixture is 4 inches across with the head unit 6.25 inches tall and the total above ground height of 14.25.  It will have a 6.25 inch ground stake.

 

Notes on the Duracell kits from customers

 

Some customers have complained about the battery life on the Duracell kits when first setting up their lights.  If this is the case after you have purchased your set, call customer service at 1-855-826-7488.  Duracell being a battery company does not want this to be a problem with their light kits.
