Driveway Lights in Your Property

If you have a driveway running on your property than will probably agree that it is important to properly illuminate it in order to see the road when you are driving on it during night time. If your driveway is not properly lit than you can cause accidents by crushing plants or bushed or hit toys or other goods that were left behind. Driveway lighting does not have to be expensive or hard to install, with a small budget and a little effort you are able to create a well lit driveway.

Driveway Markers

If you want to go cheap than driveway markers are your best option. They reflect the light your car emits or use a small rechargeable battery to emit a soft glowing light and often they are recharged by sunlight. The big cons on using these markers is that they frequently fall down and might do damage to your car when you accidentally hot them. Most markers will not last longer than a year so you have to replace theme every year.

A better option to consider are flexible markers for your driveway. Instead of falling down when you hit them these will jump back up again. You also need to install them deeply in the ground which makes them much more reliable when you compare them to your ordinary markers. The main problem using markers is that the design is not as beautiful as the alternatives. For this reason most people will only use them when it has snowed and not as a permanent solution.

Solar Driveway Lights

Lights that run solely on solar light are becoming more and more popular. Over the last few years they have become far more energy efficient and the costs have dropped significantly. The quality is almost comparable to low voltage lighting and the good thing about them is that they don't require any electricity usage. Another advantage is that you don't have to be an electrician to install them, all you need to do is stick them in the ground and aim the integrated solar collector to the sun. They are still used mainly for accent lighting but because of their increased energy efficiency they are also a perfect fit for driveway lighting. Solar LED lights are easy to install and will create a well lit driveway. You can either choose to install your LED's in to the ground and level them or place them on the ground. The first option requires you to dig holes in to your driveway which is why most people decide to place their lights on the ground instead inside the ground.
