LIGHTEN UP

H
arness the power of
the sun to light up the
night with solar lights that
illuminate paths, decks,
landscaping features,
and more. Solar-powered
LED lights are gaining
a greater share of the
lighting spotlight for their
energy- and money-saving
illumination. Some are
also known to feature a soft
amber glow that causes
less distress on nocturnal
wildlife and p ollinators
than traditional options’
bright-white-bluish cast. If
your yard basks in the sun
by day, try one of these new
solar products to brighten
your nights.
1. NAUTICAL INFLUENCE
Two styles become one in
these solar lanterns that
blend classic seaside lamps
with contemporary lines. A
solar panel tops the nautical-
inspired shade and powers the
large LED lightbulb enclosed
in a protective wire cage.
The 32-inch footed stakes
make it easy to mark out
paths, entryways, or a patio’s
perimeter. Solar Pendant
Lantern with Shepherd’s
Hook—Gardener’s Supply Co.;
