Decking Solar Lights

Following my previous post about decking lighting I will now look specifically at the best types of solar powered decking lights which avoids making decisions as to where the wires would be best placed.


The solar light unit above can be fitted into garden decking boards as can be seen, and provides a gentle upwards light. The light sensor which is incorporated inside the light switches the light on during the evening/night time (lasting for around 8 hours) and off during the day to allow for it to recharge the units internal battery. Most of these solar lights come with a number of light units attached so that for example one can be placed in each corner of the garden decking or on each step leading up to the decking.



The solar post lights above are another great type of decking lighting without the hassle of lots of wires. These lights are perfect for background lighting to light up decking steps or around the edge of garden decking. These light posts are free standing therefore there will be no need to start drilling holes in your decking for installation. The solar panel is incorporated within the top of the post to recharge the internal battery. They light up automatically once it starts to get dark, once charged the light will last for approximately 8 hours. The posts are fitted with an energy saving white LED.
