Solar patio lights are a great solution for a number of reasons: They are relatively inexpensive and operate for no additional cost to your electricity bill, they greatly lower your carbon footprint, they provide a way to light up steps and walkways for the sake of safety for both you, your family, and visitors, you don’t have to worry about turning them on and off as they have a sensor that faces the sun that switches them on at sunset and off at sunrise, they brighten up your garden decor or landscape, and they offer security, to discourage thieves, albeit not as effective as solar security lights due to their low wattage.
In the event of a storm causing a power outage, they will continue to operate. Simply place them where they will receive the fullest exposure to the sun. In the event of several consecutive cloudy days, they of course won’t work, but unless you live in a state like Washington, two or more days without the sun is typically not an issue.
