Who says you can only use festive outdoor lighting during the Christmas holidays? It is now possible to find themed lighting and LED lights for Hanukkah, Easter, Valentine’s Day and Halloween. Many of these lighting “themes” are not necessarily specific to a holiday, making them appropriate for use throughout the season.
For example, these lit willow branches are perfect for year round use. They will brighten up a dark corner in your home or offer a pleasant greeting to your guests when placed outdoors. They are also available as pussy willows for use in the summer or plum branches that would add a beautiful springtime look to any home.
Beautiful floral centerpieces are a nice touch any time of year. However, in the evening they tend to “disappear” in a dark or unused room. You can now have “lit” centerpieces that include flowers such as Chinese lanterns, roses, calla lilies and orchids. Even illuminated bonsai trees are available. It is nice to have the option of decorating with flowers without having to worry about a strong scent. And you never have to water these flowers! Imagine the soft glow of these centerpieces in your dining room when it is not being used. They are also a lovely way to greet guests in your entryway or you can use them as a nightlight in the bath room.
It can be difficult to light an outdoor area when you are entertaining. In place of candles, consider using one of these lit centerpieces on your patio table or next to an outdoor planter. Instead of luminaries lighting your outdoor walkway, you might want to place a beautifully lit Chinese lantern plant every foot or so. This will create an unexpected and almost magical entry to your home during any holiday season.
You have the option of using the power cord and an electrical outlet or you can place batteries in the battery pack for use outdoors. This gives you the ability to decorate spaces that do not have electrical power available. For example, a screened in porch, a gazebo, a dark interior hallway, even poolside. With batteries you will receive up to 12 hours of illumination. That should outlast any party you may have!
