Recessed solar deck lights are ideal for lighting decks, driveways and patios they not only provide lighting for safety and security, but bestows atmosphere and a magical glow to your outdoor living space.
Recessed solar deck lights are designed to be installed flush into the deck floor. Recessed lighting consequently becomes a part of your deck or patio flooring and can be walked on, or even driven over when used as solar driveway lights or solar path lights. It is also a great way to light the stairs. Recessed solar lights make ideal leads and markers, subtly indicating where to go.
There are two basic types of recessed solar lights; a rectangular brick shape which replaces the patio paver or a department of the deck surface, and a small round disk, which produces a small point of light.
Recessed solar lights are made from hard, almost indestructible stuffs like stainless steel, copper, brass, and even iron. Each material is available in shades or colors that can be used to either blend the fixtures in or make them stand out even more in the deck. Recessed solar lights are strong enough to walk on or even drive over, so there is no risk of damage from everyday use and by the atmospheric condition.
Solar in-deck lighting installation involves planning, especially that recessed lights require some extra work, but the results is well worth it. A well put set of lights spaced around the borders of the deck, patio, driveway or stairs adds definition to the space. You can mostly purchase them in kits which come with everything you need.
Recessed outdoor solar lighting has two key purposes. That is providing safety around the deck, path ways or patio, and making the outdoor space really pleasant at nights. Recessed solar outdoor lighting creates a very special, charming look and feel which is very distinct from the all over flood of lights created by surface mounted deck lighting.
Solar fixtures are 100% energy efficient because they run fully on the power of the sun stored by solar panels during the day. Each solar panel needs to be set up in an area that receives direct sunlight for at least four hours every day, then you should have up to 10 hours of lighting every night. Popular brands are Alpan with their marvelous solar stepping stone light, Gama with their slim line solar lights, others include Highpoint and Aurora.
We are bombarded with terms like "Go green", "Global Warming" and "Save the Environment". Its getting so redundant we have gotten immune to the call. I remind you we can't live in a dead world or a toxic environment, sure it won't happen today but that doesn't mean it won't happen. Maybe our kids will find a solution but I think that solution is here now and it starts with us joining the solar revolution.
