It’s time to make your backyard the pretty place and space the neighbors think it is.

Cozy, relaxing, inviting, and tranquil. A dull and dark backyard will not do.

One of the easiest ways to make your backyard shine is by adding a few solar lights for ambiance and much-needed light.

No one wants a dark and dreary backyard. How are you going to play cornhole after dusk?

Only with Desert Steel and their fabulous solar lighting.

Today’s winner gets a set of 3 Desert Steel red poppy solar lights for backyard thrills and chills. ARV $180!

How to enter to win!

Fill out the SweepWidget form at the end of this post!

Different types of light

Some solar lights have a yellow tinge to them. Other types of lighting are so bright that it’s reminiscent of a football field. No one wants a harsh glare in their backyard space.

Desert Steel LED lighting is a brighter whitish light that adds illumination with ambiance. But it’s not an “ugly” light if you know what I mean. The exact type of light you want to light up your backyard.

I like to incorporate lighting on various levels of the garden for added depth. Uplight trees, water features, and structures for extra intrigue.

These Desert Steel poppy solar lights are mid-height, not on the ground, and not climbing mid-air. Combine several Desert Steel solar lights with string lighting for the ultimate backyard experience.

In fact, these poppy solar lights are ideal for path lighting. Path lights give the suggestion of where to meander in the garden and they don’t need to light every inch along a walkway either to be effective.

Cool lighting also works best for plant lighting helping you see the plants in color better.

Garden lighting provides safe and nighttime pleasantness allowing you to spend more quality time outside.

Solar lights for security!

Security is a big deal these days. Even though of us who live in “safe” neighborhoods are learning that they are not as safe as we think.

Case in point: a friend of ours who lives a few streets away texted us saying many cars are getting broken into recently. So don’t forget to lock the car. Good idea.

Another great idea is to amp up our security with solar lighting!

And none better than from Desert Steel. The solar lights you want to gaze upon from now until eternity. Yes. They are that pretty and attractive.

We’ve all seen those black-capped solar lights parading around the neighborhood with no color. Ugly….right? While they serve a purpose they are not attractive.

Why not invest in your yard with solar lights that you enjoy looking at just as much during the day as the night?

Red poppy solar lights from Desert Steel? Doesn’t get any more attractive and functional than this!

Fast Fact:

About 56% of all burglaries reported in 2020 were on residential property.

Solar lights can even be used inside!

Have you heard? Indoor solar light use is becoming quite a thing. Use them to dress up a hallway or your foyer.

How about at the bottom of your stairs? That snake plant could use a red solar light. Yep. Plop one in the pot for an instant glow.

​Or how about those hibiscus plants you winterize each year? Surely they will appreciate being glammed up with a red Desert Steel poppy solar light?

​A yellow hibiscus flower with a red poppy solar light? Gorgeous!  

Or consider placing them in your outdoor holly bush pots or next to your dwarf spruce spiral topiary? Lovely.

Solar lights are going to look stupendously scattered around your yard and garden, too.

These bright LED-lighted solar lights from Desert Steel are the perfect marriage of form and function.

They look just as beautiful as they perform. Super bright. Confession time: I always wander to my sidewalk at night to admire just how bright they are.

Then I make Tom come join me and nod his head in agreement.

Desert Steel Solar Light Fast Fact!!

Solar lights are fueled by the sun’s energy so they cost nothing to run. And you never have to deal with the hassle of a cord and plug. So no leggy cord that you’ll just trip over in the garden!

Red for the win!

Red is a warm and positive color. It’s associated with our base needs and will to survive.

An energizing color. Is it not? Strong. Powerful. Bold. Beautiful. That is the color red.

Red invokes our emotions and motivates us to take action. Hopefully, some of that action takes the form of weeding the garden.

So Desert Steel’s red poppy lights will make a monumental improvement to the overall look and feel of your landscape.

And it never ceases to amaze me how Desert Steel mimics real life.

Poppies of course have 4-6 petals each. These Desert Steel solar lights have 6 petals (so they don’t skimp on the details…right!)

The petals are staggered in two layers just like a real poppy flower. Poppies are such feminine and elegant flowers with light flowing petals that dance in the wind.

Spot-on solar lights. Art imitates natural life. But art that doesn’t die or fade in two days as a real poppy would.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my poppies and they grow sporadically around my landscape. But they last a day. Maybe two. Then they are gone.

Desert Steel poppy solar lights will be with you for the ages. Used season after season.
