Stainless Steel Solar Garden Lights
Solar garden lights have been covered to some extent in other articles on this site (see for eg. solar patio lights and solar yard lights). The focus of this entry will be on the stainless steel variety of outdoor solar lights.
The benefits of solar yard lights are clear. They provide lighting at nights using energy from the sun captured and stored in batteries during the day, and therefore do not incur any additional electricity costs. In fact, they will help reduce your electricity bill if you substitute the non-solar garden lights with the solar types. With this benefit, one can equip one’s garden with not only lighting for security purposes, but what can be considered non-essential lighting, such as lighting for simply aesthetic purposes, without having to worry about a resulting recurring electricity cost. Another benefit is the easy installation, and lack of wiring generally needed. There are some types of solar garden lights though, which allow the solar panels to be placed away from the light source, and this would require some amount of wiring. So considering the benefits of solar yard lights, it is understandable why one would want to invest in them. Having made this decision, one now needs to decide on the quality to go for.
Stainless steel solar garden lights are a worthwhile investment. As outdoor lights, they are exposed to the elements, and therefore the stainless steel (usually used for the stake and/or shade) is fitting, being resistant to harsh temperatures and rusting. They stand to last for several seasons, while still maintaining a pristine look. So even though stainless steel solar garden lights tend to be more expensive, they will probably serve you better in the long run.
There are a variety of solar garden lights that come in stainless steel. So whether you want to have bright spotlights for security purposes, or just enough light to illuminate your pathways or driveways, or just to enhance the decor of the yard, you can find suitable stainless steel solar lights.
To illustrate the variety of outdoor stainless steel solar lights, a few will be highlighted here. If you’re looking for something bright, maybe as a security measure, then there is Earthtech’s set of 8 stainless steel solar lights, or Homebrite’s stainless steel garden landscape solar lights. Each comes with 3 high output white LEDs,providing lighting 360 degrees and up to 300 feet away. If you want something for lighting up your path, then there is the Westinghouse 10 piece stainless steel solar light set, for example. They have an attractive copper finish, and will provide nice pathway light. If you want something colorful for maybe festive occasions, there is the Sohodecor 2 Pack Single Colors Iridescent Stainless Steel Solar Garden Lights. They emanate light that changes color from red, blue, yellow and others.
Basically, stainless steel solar lighting products are extensive and you therefore should be able to find something suitable for your outdoor lighting purposes.

Solar Yard Lights – Exploring Your Options
Solar yard lights provide a variety of options for lighting up your landscape, whether for security purposes, or just plain aesthetics. As they operate using energy derived from sunlight, they do not contribute to your electricity bill. They are easy to install, and generally do not require wiring. Solar energy is considered green so this is another benefit to using outdoor solar lights. There are suitable solar lights available for each part of your yard (front or back), whether it be the garden, lawn or paths and driveways. We will explore some of the options available for lighting up your yard.
There are general solar outdoor lights that can be used throughout your garden. For example, you can get solar lamp posts and solar wall lights which come in various styles. The wall lights would of course require a wall to be mounted. The lamp posts however, can be placed just about anywhere, and with the exquisite styles available, can really add a touch of class to your yard. Stainless steel solar garden lights are available on the market, and really do look quite elegant.
If security is your concern, then you can check out the solar spotlights and solar security floodlights. These tend to have high luminosity and wider range of lighting than other types of solar lighting. Some also have motion detectors that will cause the light to switch on when movement is detected at night.
Solar statuary lights are ideal for the garden. Many different statue forms are available, allowing you to select what is most appropriate for your garden. If you have a pond or pool you could treat it with floating solar pond/pool lights, which can really add beauty to the night view of your yard. Solar garden lights often come in different lighting colors, so you can really make your garden colorful according to your preferences.
Solar path lights are good for lighting up your pathways, driveways, and outdoor steps. They can also be used for lighting up your lawn. Solar stepping stones can be used as path lights by lining them up and forming a glowing walkway.
If you like the idea of decorating your trees, you have the option of solar string lights. These come in an assortment of colors, and are ideal for festive holiday occasions. They are also fitting for the patio (see solar patio lights for more on this).
With so many types of solar yard lights on the market, you have enough options to satisfy your practical and aesthetic lighting requirements. Remember that you’re not increasing your electricity bill by having all these lights around your yard, so solar backyard lights must be a serious consideration for anyone thinking of lighting up their yard.
