Browse Forums Lighting + Lighting Design 1 Jan 23, 2012 7:26 pm I’ve started using solar lighting as a means to create mood lighting outside. In the 2 hanging things from my outdoor roof are 2 ends to solar lights I have bought for around my back yard. It’s amazing how much light they throw out at night. Trouble is, because they don’t get any sun during the day to charge I have to replace the batteries with new charged ones every week. But worth the trouble, I’m very happy with the lighting! Can’t take a night shots, I’m useless with night photos.
