An excellent and economical way to give the exterior of your home the appearance of professional landscape lighting. Honestly, I think these lights look just as good as the most expensive electrical professional designer installations, and they drain no power, thereby reducing your utility costs. Because they are on the high end of the quality spectrum, they cost a little more than your average solar spotlights, but they perform SO MUCH BETTER than their inferior counterparts. Unlike the cheaper versions, they stand up to the elements, having metal casing instead of plastic, and on the aesthetic side, these uplights put out an intensely nice, bright, white light -- enough to make you STOP and take NOTICE! Believe me, if you prefer to go solar, they're WELL worth the extra cost!
