It's Spring, so everyone is outside and making their yards looking great.

And that's lovely, but what if you have no green thumb,
but you still want to upscale your yard a bid?

I have a SIMPLE, but beautiful, and practical solution:

This new Decorative Solar Powered Outdoor Light is perfect for your yard, garden, pathways, stairs or other outside location!

Not only is the light very decorative and perfect for Spring, it is weather and heatproof! Which means it can be installed, without fear of environmental damage, or having to hire someone to come out and install it for you! You can install it in mere minutes, with just a drill and screwdriver! As the light features a solar panel on the top, there is no need for electricity- just let the (free) sun energy power it up!  During the day the solar light will automatically switch off to save energy; at night it will turn, based on the setting YOU choose, to light your way, on the path or area of your choosing! (up to 3 meters).

Inside the box you get the solar light, already assembled (!!!) and ready to go, as well as 2 expansion pillar-hinges and 2 installing screws, along with the manual. It really is THAT easy to install! 

After opening the box, it is best to allow the solar battery to charge for 2 or 3 sunny days, before putting it in place, and turning it on. After that initial charge, it will only take 6-8 hours to fully charge (ideal for those short winter days!), to run all night, if needed/ in fact, you get over 8 hours of working time, per charge! 

Prior to hanging the solar light, you can choose which of the 4 light settings you want. Seriously, 4 settings, including motion for THIS price? That's crazy! 

The 5 modes you have are:
1. Constant dim light 
2. Constant high light
3. Emit bright light when it senses motion, and constant dim light, when no motion
4. Emit bright light when it senses motion, and turn off when no motion after 30 seconds
 5. Off

Above is what the bright light looks like up close. on setting 4. As you can see, you get bright LED light. We were pleasantly surprised with HOW well it lit up the yard from the wheelchair ramp, when it sensed motion. From the location shown above, at the top landing, it would actually come on, when I drove up in the drive way, which is more about the 3 meter range (the far end of its reach). Because it kept sensing our motion, it stayed on, allowing us to grab items from the car and go up the ramp and inside, BEFORE it turned off. As there is no electrical outlet in the area of the ramp, we have been without light on it.

After verifying how well it worked, we moved it to the end of the ramp and placed on the end post, so that it would light up, no matter where anyone parked on the driveway and provide needed light to get up the ramp. It was easy to install, just drill 2 holes, insert screws, and hang! Can't get easier than that! Based on how well the light works, we're going to buy another and have a matched set on the end posts, so that the entire yard can be lit up if needed.

If you are worried about animals setting it off, I can assure you, the light STILL works all night long, even if they do! We have a bird with a nest by the landing and 2 squirrels who delighted in setting it off, when we were testing it on the landing, and it never wavered, providing me still with bright light when I came home in the early am hours!

This is a lovely solar lamp, and perfect for ramps like ours, or for decks and outside porches (as the light needs plenty of light to charge), or for hanging outside an out building or garage! We love it and you will too and we highly recommend it! It would also make a lovely Mother's Day gift idea, for the hard to please mom!
