The Holiday season is upon us, and for many of us, it is time for decorations. Are you looking for something to replace those old, tired Christmas lights with the burned out bulbs? How about those ancient Halloween decorations? Solar Halloween or Christmas lights may be the answer to your prayers!
Traditional holiday lights are a hassle. You always wind up running extension chords all over the place, burned out bulbs need to be replaced; you have to worry about short circuits due to rain, the huge electricity bills... Yea, it's a pain. Solar holiday lights completely eliminate those hassles, but how do they look?
Recently, the growing development of solar lighting technology has opened the door for manufacturers to offer more styles and options than ever. Solar Halloween and Christmas lights are no exception. Some Christmas lighting examples might be:
Solar Net Lights - Solar Net Lights have solar powered LEDs that turn on at night and off during the day. They are strung together in the shape of a net so that they can be used to cover a shrub or bush. You can expect about 8 hours of light a night with these.
Solar String Lights - String lights usually come in a string of 50 LED lights. They also come with a sensor that turns them off during the day and back on at night. They are great for stringing along your front porch railing, the eves, in trees and just about anywhere else you want.
Solar Multicolor LED Christmas Lights - These are a lot like the Solar string lights above, but are multicolor. They also have daylight sensors and 50 LED bulbs.
Solar Blue Snow Flake Lights - I personally have these and I love them. They are really bright and very pretty. There were a couple of bad reviews on Amazon from people having a problem with the lights shorting out after a while, but I have had no problems with mine. They are only $8 for a string of 20, and the seller has great feedback, so for me, it was worth trying.
Here are some examples of some solar Halloween lights:
Solar Halloween Lighted Carved Pumpkin Jack-o-lantern Decoration - This is a solar power smiling Jack-o-lantern decoration for a front lawn or porch. It is about 8" in diameter and has a daylight sensor that lights it up at night and turns it off during the day.
Halloween Sound Activated GO BACK or BOO Rocks - These look like plain old 9.5" by 6" by 4" rocks during the day, but at night they light up with a glowing message that says "Boo" or "Go Back". These solar powered rocks also come with a day/night sensor.
Solar Powered Halloween Lighted Skull Decoration - This is exactly like the pumpkin decoration, but in a skull. It is also a little bigger than the Jack-o-Lantern (about 10").
Every one of these holiday decorations comes with the benefits of being solar powered. They all run for about 8 hours on a charge. No jumbles of wires to worry about, or burned out bulbs. No manually turning them on and off or plugging them into timers (the daylight sensors turn them on and off when needed). Best of all, no more huge electric bills! That is about as hassle free as you can get!
There are many more types and styles of solar holiday lights, but I hope I have helped to spark some ideas for you.
