2. Bucket light: – One of the most interesting designs loved and used by so many families. All you need is an inverted bucket design. The open side of the bucket helps to expand the exposing area of the light and the smaller side can be used to install the solar panels.

3. Garden lights: – You can use some mini lights attached to some plants or in their background. It can be used to give soothing lightning to your backyard or garden. The placement of the solar panels can be a question here, if the plants are close to a wall, the wall can be used to install the solar panel attached to the wall otherwise it can be difficult to find a suitable place for the panels.
4. Garden lights enhanced: – Within the wall, install the solar panels and the battery. Use the power stored in the battery attaching a plug to it. This way, a plug can be used in multiple ways for lighting in different styles and distances.
5. Terrace lights and pool lights: – Terrace and pool can be a good place to spend some time with yourself or the family. Some usual light panels are available in the market and can be used for the purpose. You need not to worry about the installment of solar panels in these cases.

• Indoor solar lighting ideas: 

To use solar lights inside the outside, it would be a bit difficult to use the solar panels attached to the lights. So, we need to bring them some supplied energy from outside. This can be done by installing the panel on the other side of the wall and use wires to bring the supply. Another method is to use the panels to supple energies to some plugs in the house and use them for power supply.

1. Waterfall lights: – A very suitable lighting for kids where you can use mini lights to make them a flowing water design. Blue and light-yellow lights can be the most suitable selection of lights and here again, you can use any of the above methods for power supply. For even more impressive design, you can use brown lights to create a border light design and the mountain design with the flowing water design.
2. Jar lights: – one easy and creative idea to light your house is to use jars with the lights. The bulb can be put inside the jar and different jars of different colors can be used to improve and utilize the lighting in your house. The good thing about these jar lights is that they can be used for both indoor and outdoor usage. For outdoor usage, the lid of the jar can be used to install the solar panel. The difficulty can be with the battery that needs to be stuck with the jar. In case you find a decent substitute to place the battery, this can be the best light you can use for the house.

Things to consider:

The solar panels might not be the strongest things and need to be handled with care sometimes. Such issues are major with the smaller solar panels installed on the jars or bucket itself. So, you need to be careful with them. The supply of solar power through plugs need professional wiring to be used and you should prefer them instead of doing thing son your own. This way, you keep yourself and your kids safe from any misconduct and also keep your lights last long to make your home beautiful.
