I have already mentioned in several places on this site about the benefits of using solar lights in your outdoor areas, and about the advantages of solar energy. You can use a variety of different solar lights to light up the areas around your home. Here I am going to show you a few different types of solar post lights and maybe you can get a few ideas about how you can use these lights to give your outdoor spaces a unique look.
Using solar post lights for your outdoor lighting is pretty simple. If you are using the post cap lights, then these just fit over the top of your post and are fixed with a couple of screws. As with all lights that are you are fixing to a post, you should measure your post first to make sure it will fit. Most of these lights will fit over a 4×4 post. There is no wiring necessary and it is so easy you can do it yourself in no time. If you go with the lamp post style light then it just needs to be bolted or screwed into into a heavy base to hold it in place.
