Solar lamp post lights are a great way to light your outdoor spaces with free energy from the sun. Here a few reasons why.

Easy Setup

It really doesn’t get any easier than this. Solar lamp posts just need ample sunlight to work. That’s it. No wiring, no trenching, and certainly no messing with batteries. The lights are designed to stick in the ground with a small stake so they don’t blow over. The lights might require a little assembly, but anyone can do it. The solar panel is integrated into the top of the lamp, so its really just as easy as putting the pieces together, and setting it out in the sun.

Affordability

Most people hear ‘solar’ and think of expensive solar panels. Or they think of cheap Chinese garden lights that don’t last. Fortunately there is an alternative to both of this things and solar lamp post lights fit the bill. The lights generally range from $100 to $400. And don’t forget, the energy is free after you set it up. Most of the batteries last between 3-4 years and can replaced easily. With the energy savings you can expect these lights to pay for themselves in about 3 years.

Bright

These lights are perfect for lighting a walkway, front yard, address sign, or even an outdoor seating area. A far cry from the cheap post lights you’ve seen at the discount store, these lights are generally higher quality and will light an area approximately 10-15′ in diameter. There are models that can even light up parking lots and streets if needed. New LED and induction lighting technology make solar a great solution for many applications now. And these lights can help with security of your home, lighting dark spaces that are attracive to prowlers.

Stylish

These are not the simple, boring lights you’ve seen at discount stores. They are very stylish and can add an air of class to any outdoor space. Many homeowner’s associations have chosen solar lamppost lights for their common areas or to replace outdated and inefficient gas lamps.

Green!

It’s a good feeling know that, however small, these lights are helping the environment. Reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption is essential to our future, and these lights can make a small but lasting impact. Its also a great way to teach your kids about solar power and renewable energy.

Do you want it to light from inside or be lit from outside?

If from inside, I recommend building a 4′ x8′ x 1′ frame with the 1′ edges closed. I’d put any lettering on translucent white 4′ x8′ sheets and cover the lettered sheets with 4′ x 8′ clear sheets. You can add topical material with static cling vinyl to the outside and the labor-intensive lettering is protected from graffiti.

Check product specifications for the sheets. Make sure they’re suitable for outdoor all-weather use. You don’t want anything that will splinter in cold weather or melt in 100+ summers.

You can have the lighting itself professionally wired.
