Posted in: | February 21, 2020

Completing a beautiful landscape project, flower garden, vegetable garden, or other outdoor space is very fun. You don’t have to travel far to practice this hobby, and you can see the fruits of your labor right from your front door. While you take advantage of adding color to your yard with flowers and fruits, don’t forget this one crucial step.

Use garden and accent lighting to illuminate your outdoor space so you can appreciate it at all hours of the day. Investing in garden lights will make your thriving yard even more appealing for you and your neighbors. Below we answer some questions you may have in an ultimate guide to garden lights.

Using Garden Lighting to Transform Your Space at Night

When you spend so much of your time tending to your garden, it’s easy to be proud of what you accomplished. Your plants thrive during the day and are an excellent addition to your outdoor area.

At night, however, you can’t enjoy the beauty that your flowers and greenery bring to your space. Adding garden lights is an elegant and easy solution so that you can enjoy the view of your landscape no matter the hour.

 

Choosing The Right Garden Lights for Your Outdoor Area

Garden Lights for Your Outdoor Area

 

Depending on your vision of what you want your garden to look like at night and the limitations of your space, purchasing the right product can take time. You’ll want to go into the task with a clear idea of how the finished scene will look. You should also take note of the layout of your space. Determine what is in a range of possibilities in regards to installing your garden lights.

An electric garden light can have many limitations. For instance, electrical wiring is visually unappealing, and hiding it is no easy task. A gas-powered garden light tends to be on the expensive side and requires plenty of maintenance. How can you avoid these complications? The answer is simple – use a solar garden light instead.

 

What Are Solar Garden Lights?

As an alternative to electric and gas-powered outdoor lights, solar garden lights are a simple solution for illuminating your outdoor space at night. Powered by the sun, these fixtures are both cost-effective and energy-efficient. You won’t have to worry about the hassle and expenses that come with typical outdoor lighting, as solar garden lights are compact and easy to manage. You can stake the fixtures into the ground in any area that receives ample sunlight during the day. DIY installation is simple, and when fully charged, solar garden lights shine as soon as the sun begins to set. Then enjoy your garden and landscape as nightfall rolls in.

How do Solar Garden Lights Work?

Gama Sonic’s solar garden lights each contain a replaceable lithium-ion battery pack that powers the fixture for about 1,000 charges, or 2.5 – 3 years. The monocrystalline solar panel located on top of the garden light charges the battery pack during the day. For the battery pack to complete its charge, install the fixture in an area that gets at least 6 hours of unfiltered sunlight throughout the day.

The internal sensors that are part of the solar garden light’s design can detect the change in lighting from sunrise to sunset. These sensors will automatically turn the light on and off accordingly. You never have to worry about flipping a switch or wasting power.

There is a layer of tempered glass protecting the solar panel on the light. If you wish to clean off any debris on the fixture like leaves, dirt, or snow, cleanup is easy. Simply take a damp, microfiber cloth and wipe the surface until the solar panel is clean.

 

Are Solar Garden Lights Waterproof?

The solar garden lights at Gama Sonic include a sturdy frame in their design that is weather resistant. You can leave them outside in the rain, and they will shine in dark and stormy weather. As long as the battery is fully charged by nightfall, these solar garden lights will provide visibility to your space after the sun goes down.

 

How Long Do Solar Garden Lights Take To Charge?

Gama Sonic recommends that you install your solar garden light in an area that receives unfiltered sunlight for 3-4 hours during the day. Depending on the solar garden light that you purchase, your fixture will run anywhere between 1-2 nights consistently on the Low Mode setting with a fully-charged battery.

Setting up an in-ground solar garden light is easy when you choose a Gama Sonic fixture. Your purchase includes everything needed for installation, and implementing your light takes minutes. Just find an area that receives ample sunlight during the day. Then, firmly drive the light’s stake into the ground. After that, the sun will do the rest by charging the battery so that the light is ready for nightfall.
