What about solar lights?

Besides the LED lights referred to earlier, there are solar bulbs and light strings that can be substituted for the energy hungry older lights. Some of these solar lights even are manufactured on a stick-type base for easy installing at driveways or walkways. The look has a warm, inviting appeal. Always place your solar lights where they will receive a good amount of sunlight during the day, since that is their power source. Other ideas will come to mind as you consider power saving options for your display. A few lights placed around a patio is another functional idea.
