How To Choose The Right Garden Light For Your Property

Landscape lighting is outdoor illumination used to enhance the beauty of a garden or public landscape, for safety and accessibility at night. Landscape lighting can also be used for social events and recreational activities. Some of the most common types of landscape lighting include Solar-powered, Motion-sensor, Translucent glass, and Colored LEDs. Let's discuss some of the options for these lighting systems. Read on to find out how to choose the best garden light for your property!

Solar-powered

If you're planning a summer party in your backyard, solar-powered garden lights can help make it look festive and beautiful. With their six LED lights per stalk, these solar-powered lights create the illusion of dancing fireflies. The lights run on rechargeable AA batteries and require as little as six hours of direct sunlight a day to charge. Some lights even come with a timer function to turn on automatically when it gets dark.

When it comes to cleaning solar lights, you can use a gentle cleanser and warm water. Just be careful not to use chlorine-based cleaners as these can negatively affect the solar cells. You can also use your garden hose to remove loose dust or debris. If you don't want to take the time to clean the solar lights every day, you can replace them with rechargeable batteries. It's easy to replace the batteries on solar-powered garden lights.

Motion sensor

You may be wondering how to use a motion sensor for garden lights. There are several different types of motion sensors. Each is designed to respond to movement in certain areas. For example, if you have a stairway or a fence gate, a motion sensor will turn on the lights when you approach. If you are concerned about security, you can aim the sensors at these areas to provide lighting to all entry points. If you have darker areas in your yard, you can direct the motion sensors to illuminate those areas.

A motion sensor for garden lights works by detecting infrared waves from moving objects. When the detector detects movement, the lights will turn on. A motion sensor for outdoor lights reacts to the movement of people, cars, or wind-blown leaves. But some objects can fool a motion detector, triggering it and making it useless. These types of lights are not suitable for small gardens, because they are so sensitive to the movement of people and animals.
