Outdoor lights are outdoor lighting fixtures that are often used to illuminate gardens, pathways and driveways. They provide extra security and, when used strategically, can be a great source of decoration as well. There are a variety of different types of outdoor lights. Some of the most common kinds include wall-mounted lights, post-mounted lights, in-ground lights, and hanging lights. Wall-mounted lights can be positioned along the perimeter of a house or garden and will usually point downward. Post-mounted lights are often used to mark pathways or driveways and can either be placed on a pole or mounted on a wall. In-ground lights, likewise, are commonly used to light pathways and will often be recessed into the ground for discreet placement. Hanging lights are often used to create pools of light and can either hang from wires attached to the ground or be placed from trees or walls. Outdoor lights can also be powered by different sources, making them a great source of energy efficiency. Solar-powered lights use the sun's rays to recharge themselves during the day, and have light sensors that activate them at night. Electric lights are also common, and range from those with simple electrical cords to those with built-in timers and motion sensors. Outdoor lights can add both functionality and style to any outdoor space, and with so many types and styles available, its easy to find the perfect matches for your needs.
