Green Lanterns for Garden Parties

     Having a party outdoors can be lots of fun. There are green ways to have lighting that is fun and efficient.

     Solar powered lights are starting to become more popular, as more and more people become environmentally conscious. Solar powered lanterns will definitely give you a bright and pleasant light at night. You can hang then up or keep them free-standing using the stand provided. What’s unique about solar lanterns is that, they discretely hide the solar panel. This is perfect for a party giving them an attractive glow at night. The lanterns come in several colors to suit any party.

     LED Lighting for the outdoors is the wave of the future. It doesn’t waste energy or have the constant changing of light bulbs because the average shelf life of an LED bulb is over 50,000 hours. LED lighting is great for both decorative and accent lighting. There are LED lanterns available from Westinghouse, Brankmann and several other manufacurers. The designs are many and the best part is that you’ll be able to use them for much longer for any other event or simply for your own enjoyment.

     Glass lanterns are a good way to have candlelit evenings. Glass is also great to use because it’s recyclable and doesn’t have the VOC’s that plastic does. You can get the most out of these lanterns by using natural candles that don’t use lead wicks, such as beeswax. There are even citronella lanterns available if you’re concerned about bugs.
