Now you can harness the sun to illuminate your driveway, paths, steps and decks with easy-to-install solar lights that recharge (for free) during the day.

Let the light of the day brighten up your night. Powered by a built-in photocell, solar night-lights require no wiring and no electricity, and they turn on automatically at night.

Designed to look great whether you like traditional or modern, these energy-savers are available both in-store and online. They are becoming increasingly popular, particularly since they are so much easier to install than traditional wired systems. If you decide you don't like where you put them, or simply want to expand or mix things up, they are also much easier to move than wired units.
