It’s true: solar powered Christmas decorations! How cool is that? Not to mention child friendly, environmentally friendly, long lasting and, best of all, portable. Don’t just take a bottle to the Christmas party, take the lights too!
Solar Christmas lights can soak up enough sun, even on a wintry Christmas day, to illuminate outdoor Christmas trees and features without the need for an electric supply. No plugs, no sockets, no fuss; just plenty of festive cheer!
Solar light strings typically contain a couple of hundred LED bulbs and have an anticipated life span of about, oh, twenty years or so! Pick up a set now and you could be seeing in New Year in the 2020’s and 2030’s with them! (Incidentally, that works out at about 100,000 hours of Christmas light!) They’ll switch on at dawn and off a dusk making them the only Christmas lights you can leave on all night, every night without draining all the Christmas cheer out of your electricity supply.
Shop around and you’ll find there’s a growing range of solar powered Christmas lights for you to choose from. Solar powered lights, stake lights, glowing crystal balls and more can transform your wintry garden landscape into a friendlier, more festive place.
Put a few solar snowmen stake lights in your front garden and guide your guests in out of the cold. Or hang a solar wreath round the tree for a more eco friendly Christmas glow. You can even take them inside if you want to. Remember, there are no plugs, so there are no limits on where you put them or how you enjoy them. White Christmas or not, it’ll be a bright Christmas for sure.
