Solar lights are a great way of lighting up your garden but what are you using inside your home. Are you using energy saving light bulbs for your solar lights?

If you are using solar energy to power your lights make sure you are using energy saving light bulbs to maximise your savings. If you are taking energy from the grid (and not generating your own power) you can save up to $1000 on your bills.
