Low Cost Patio Lights

Patio lights can really brighten up your home, and they don’t even have to be expensive. In many cases, low cost patio lighting doesn’t even skimp on the features that you can get with higher priced, brand name lighting. There are even inexpensive types of outdoor patio lights that you can use to get the light you need without having to break the bank buying them or break your back installing them. Here are but a few of the more popular options.

Patio String Lights

Patio string lights are incredibly popular, and for good reason. They are cheap, easy to install, and work great for both parties or as lights that you can use all summer long. They can be solar, low voltage, or standard voltage, but solar powered string lighting tends to work the best because you can place them anywhere without having to worry about hiding wires or creating a shock hazards. This set of string lights from Smart Solar, pictured below, is a great example of this. You get a string of 30 attractive LEDs that are attached to a solar panel so you can hang them anywhere on your patio or even in your garden to spice up the atmosphere a little bit.

Patio Umbrella Lights

Patio umbrella lights are another type of fixture that you can use on your patio that are low-cost and easy to install. If the lights come with the umbrella, they can be expensive, but if you already have an umbrella you want to use, kits like this umbrella light from Rite-Lite, shown to the right, are in almost anyone’s budget and clip right on to any existing umbrella. With this easy to install, easy to maintain light, you won’t have to be left out in the dark anymore if you want to stay outside to read, eat, or just relax. This light is battery-powered and comes with 40 LEDs in white and amber. You can turn the lights on to up light, down light, or both and the light even comes with a built in dimmer.

Spotlights as Patio Lights

Using a spotlight is yet another affordable type of lighting that you can use on your patio. These lights can be a little harder to install, since many require that you hook them to the electrical circuitry in your house, but you usually only need one or two to light up your whole patio. Or, if you can deal with a little dimmer light, you can also choose to install a solar spotlight that won’t require any tricky installation. They may not be the sexiest type of lighting that you can install, but it is among the most effective. This 6-LED fixture from Fulcrum Products can provide you with the light you need to light your patio and even has an attached motion-sensor to make sure that it’s always on when you need it.

Table Lights

Another effective, easy to use and affordable type of patio light are table lights. Table lights do range in expensiveness, just like any other type of lighting, but you will also usually only need one of these lights to give you the lighting that you need. And even with discount table lights you won’t have to skimp on style. This table light from Mr. Light, pictured below, has a bronze plated finish and a stained glass design that will be at home on nearly any patio. Best of all, it’s solar powered so you won’t have to run any wires to it!
