Hampton Bay Solar LED Spotlight

In Milwaukee we had an electrician install all kinds of garden and pathway architectural lights.  They were so pretty - uplights, down lights, and whatever other lights that were shaped like flowers and thoughtfully selected at the lighting shop. When we moved to DC, our tiny condo has a little patio with a garden. Because electrical lights are not an option here, the ambiance of the soft lights can still be achieved with solar products that have come a long way since the early years. Our little bird bath is also solar operated, and also has an on/off switch. Since we recently updated the garden with a grass path, the idea to add a couple lights surfaced again. We threw out the old fixtures we had a couple years ago. So we went to Home Depot and picked out two Hampton Bay solar uplights. They now come with batteries that can be changed every two or three years. Finally after several days of rain and miserable weather, it was finally sunny enough to install the spotlights on either side of the garden. You also have the option to put them on a stake in the ground, or hook them to a fence with screws. The little solar panel can be adjusted in many directions to catch the sunshine. After just one day in the sun, the little lights shined nicely on to the bushes and backlit the wall and fence behind them. They should get even brighter after a few more hours of daylight. Unfortunately I may need to adjust one light that shines directly in to the bedroom window. That is one place that does not need a bright light in the middle of the night. What I like about living in a tiny space is that you can still have the things you liked in a bigger place - just on a much smaller scale. But the affect is the same.
