Solar lighting in your yard is a simple way to accent your landscaping, with the added bonus of conserving energy (and saving you money!). Eric Stromer shows you his trade secret on how to place and install it.

Step 1: Solar System
Solar lighting in your yard is a simple way to accent your landscaping, with the added bonus of conserving energy (and saving you money!). First, place the lights where there’s very little shade—where they’ll have most exposure to the sun—and facing due South.

Step 2: Sixth Sense
Place the lights in an area where there aren’t any other artificial lights—as the solar lights use a light sensor.

Step 2: Pound It In
Use a rubber mallet to hammer in the spikes.
