With more and more people deciding to clean up their property’s backyards to create a more exciting or relaxing space, you might wonder what would take your space to the next level. Lighting has remained an essential element added to any outdoor space not only to help the activities going once the sun has set but also to alter and create an environment to fit your mood or style. One example of lights that can help light up your fences are solar lights. For more information on this type of light, read on!

Fence Lights

When you consider outdoor lighting, you have to consider where you’d like them mounted. While lights mounted on the outside of your home have remained popular and easy choice with set fixtures, path, porch, gazebo, and deck lighting have all grown in popularity as they create a very simple yet visually appealing display to any outdoor space. However, we are forgetting the surface that surrounds us, which is the fence. You might find yourself surrounded by fencing in many backyards, which become big flat surfaces to utilize for lighting. Lights that are mounted on fences typically aim down towards the ground, lighting the area from the outside and making a visual effect similar to stanchions or pillars. One problem with lights on your fence is power. When deciding to run lights around your property, you might not like the idea of running an electrical line around the fence, but with solar lights, this isn’t an issue.

Solar Power

Solar power involves capturing ultraviolet rays with photovoltaic cells sound within the polar panel, which converts them to electrons. These electrons are then stored into an internal battery until they’re used by the small light-emitting diodes used in lights. These LEDs use a small amount of electricity, which allows the small internal battery to power them throughout the night. This makes them an excellent choice for mounting on your home’s vinyl or custom fences. They work great near your driveway or walkways. Since they always activate on their own, you can come home to a nice, visibility-lit area. As with vinyl and aluminum fences, solar panels require minimal maintenance, ensuring that they remain clear of any pesky debris. It’s a good idea to wipe each panel top off occasionally to remove dirt or any other contaminants. You should also inspect and clean your lighting lenses from time to time to make sure they are not starting to crack up or discolor.
