How to go green in home landscapes with solar lights

Designing home landscapes requires careful planning in order to reduce cost of maintenance and to minimize both household and environmental hazard in the long run.  Do you know the most cost effective way to design home landscapes?  I highly recommend to go green in home landscape design with the help of various types of solar lights. Solar lights - Merging Landscape lightings with decorative style Nowadays, solar lights have greatly evolved itself to the stage where it can serve as decorative items besides lighting.  You just need to plan for solar landscape lighting that can also blend into the specified theme, such as exotic garden landscape, modern looking landscape or simple home landscape. They are also lasting as they run on LED bulb and its body is made of materials that are both water and corrosion resistant.  It truly marries both style and flexibility. Solar lights - Free, natural and safe source of lightings In landscape design, it is crucial to ensure safety and also consider availability of power source for lighting.  Especially when kids are around, we must ensure there are zero hazards of exposing live wire.  Every solar light has its own portable power sources stored in rechargeable batteries.  To charge up these batteries, simply fully expose its solar cell or panel to sunlight and in turn is stored up 8 to 10 hours of solar power.  Hence there is no need to worry about finding wired power source and no live wire hazard.  What's more, solar power is the greener source of energy that does not contribute to air pollution and greenhouse effect traditionally present in coal/fossil generated power.  Since it is free and natural, we should learn to make full use of it just like plants do. How to go green for your home landscape Going green can simply start off in our home landscape.  Here are the various part of the home landscape you can consider: 1. Every house has a house number.  Instead of putting a plain house number that runs on dry battery or electrical power, you can choose various colourful solar house numbers from floral and butterfly style to decorative rock style. These style makes you house looks more welcoming and cheerful in the daytime.  At night solar house numbers will light up automatically when it detects darkness.  You can have a peace of mind finding your house easily at night especially when it is in a dimly lit area.      D5003 Solar House Number Light with Butterfly and Flowers $38.00  D5002 House Address Number Solar Rock (Large) $10.50 2.

Privacy Vs Security - Which will make home safe?

I have recently read a book on garden landscaping and what caught my attention is on a page that explains how privacy is not the same as security. I would also like to contribute some of my thoughts to this topic by further differentiating privacy and security. Hopefully this will make you aware of how vulnerable our home and garden can be to intruders and take necessary measure to counter them.

It is important and essential to introduce privacy to allow us enjoy quiet time together with our family without the prowling eyes from the street or neighbors. Some families tends to erect privacy fences around the yard or strategically plant tree. However such structures does not discourage break-in by intruders who can choose to climb over the fences and trees at night when visibility is the poorest. Most people take very little precaution against such incidents and thought privacy is sufficient till it happens on them. So what form of security is ready adequate for homes?

In my opinion, it is vital to enhance security through internal home security system and external home security system. An interior home security system has the ability to provide sensor detection for forced break-in especially in the most vulnerable areas namely windows and doors. The alert should also have an option to link to nearest Police station to will check out your house immediately, especially when you are away from home.

On the the hand, an exterior home security systems suppose to provide a second level of security while you are at home. Common exterior security system are motion detectors and flood lights. When an intruders attempt to penetrate your compound, motion sensor lights will light up automatically to scare off the intruders and alert you immediately. Motion Sensor Stainless Steel Pole Solar Light is highly recommended for homes as this device can easily be installed in remote area where there is no access to power supply. Another option is to install a wireless internet camera that can automatically snap photo or record video of the intruders once movement is detected. Both Motion Sensor Stainless Steel Pole Solar Light and wireless internet camera can work hand in hand to deter and detect intruders.

In conclusion, security is crucial to protect your property and love ones. Enjoy quality family time with home security system truly give you a peace of mind. Do not trade out security with privacy as the latter is powerless against the invasion of a true intruders. Act now before intruders have their chance.

Hours supply of Solar energy
At 77 inches tall, hundred to thousands of solar lamp post lights can be set up to tap on 12 hours of day lights. That will definitely generate many watts of green energy sufficient to light up the streets up to 8 hours of lights in cities. It will be especially useful in remote area where no street lights are installed. Such outdoor solar lights definitely help to make traveling safer and more energy saving.

For countries that really need cheaper solution due to economic crisis or facing shortage of power, this range of solar lamp post lights really fulfill their most urgent needs. I strongly believe this unit will be of great help to the third countries.

Personally I would like to see mass adoption of Solar Lamp Post Lights in the whole world as it can really help to cut down fuel consumption and reduce significantly emission of "Green House" gas to our atmosphere.  Our Mother Earth needs this change in order to repair and close up the holes in our Ozone layers.  Many third world countries that are facing shortage of power will benefit most by using solar energy to light up their streets at night.  I also strongly believe that the future solar lamp post lights will be able to operate full 12 hours instead of 8 currently.  This will definitely encourage more countries to adopt it in all major cities.  Lastly I like to dedicate this article to the Earth Day 2010 on 20 April 2010 and hope more countries will participate this event by contributing million acts of Green.
