If you have a garden or a landscape attached to your home than you probably want the area to be well lighted and nicely decorated with statues, fountains or outdoor lighting decoration options. The difficulty with installing lighting in your garden is that you have to connect it to a power source in order to make it work. Many well led gardens have complicated wiring in order to place lamps on different areas in your garden or landscape. You really have to understand something about electricity if you want to do that job yourself. Luckily more and more lamps are powered by solar energy. Solar energy is an excellent resource for lighting your outdoor lamps because you don't have to connect anything to your electricity network. All you have to do is place the solar collector in the sun in order to make it work. One of the available options when you want to use outdoor solar lighting are solar garden globes. Garden globes are spherical celestial bodies which emit light when it gets dark. It is an excellent way to really showcase your garden as they bring vibrant colors in to your landscape.

If you want to shop for a solar garden globe than you will notice that there are quite some options available. You can either choose between solar globe lights which you have to place on the grass /ground, solar light globe stakes, and hanging solar garden globes.

Solar globes stakes

Solar globe garden lights on stakes are well suited for placing them next to plants, on your patio or on various places in your landscape.

Westinghouse solar globes are well known for it's design and this is no different for mosaic tiled solar globe landscape lights. The stained glass is of amazing quality and design. The globes will automatically start to glow when it becomes dark and the mosaic tiles will create a constantly changing spectrum of light that is emitted by the solar globes. This set contains 4 globes which you can place on different places in your garden and really set the right mood. You can enjoy a soft glow in different colors for 8 hours a night and they also don't look that bad at daytime.  You also don't have to worry about cloudy days because for each globe there is a 400 mAh Ni-CD battery included just in case.

This is yet another amazing design from Westinghouse. These mosaic solar garden globes set contains 4 globes each in a different color. They come with a sturdy stake and contain a switch you can turn on and off. On a sunny day they will emit a soft glowing light for 6 to 8 hours and for the cloudy days they include 4 rechargeable batteries so you can enjoy your globes the entire year. The amazing thing about these stake globes is that they don't need any electricity and won't add a penny to your electricity bill.

This is a more simple design if you compare them to the Westinghouse solar garden globes but they are well suited for many occasions. You don't have to use them solely for your garden because they are also excellent suited for illuminating your driveway, walkway or patio. They come in a set that contains 3 globes and they emit a very bright light that is suited for illuminating a certain area.
