The holiday season is creeping and crawling toward us like a big, black, hairy spider. That’s right, Halloween is just around the corner, which means you are probably in the midst of twisting some fake spider webs into the tree on your front lawn, carving grinning Jack o’ Lanterns, and adding a spooky scarecrow to the yard.
If you are planning on adding some new decorations to your witch’s brew this year, you might be surprised to discover some solar-powered decorations available at your local store. Much like computer memory, solar technology is getting more affordable and sophisticated each year, to the point where it’s now starting to hit store shelves in all sorts of fashions, including Halloween decorations.
A quick Google search brought us to cute solar-powered LED light stakes that you can plant along your driveway, a silly ghost holding a solar-powered glowing lantern, a string of glowing pumpkins that would look great wrapped around porch bannisters, and more. The Home Depot also sells plenty of solar flood lights and spotlights that can easily be incorporated into your Halloween decorations.
Sure, the options this year are a little limited, but it’s the trend that is important. As solar power technology becomes more sophisticated, we bet you’re going to see bigger, brighter, and more awesome solar-powered decorations in the future. Think about how cool it would be to have a terrifying front yard full of flashing lights, glowing eyeballs, and spooky sounds all powered from the clean, limitless energy of the sun! You can go to town without feeling any guilt about wasting electricity, hurting the environment, or worrying about what your electricity bill will look like.
We can’t wait to see what solar powered options will come out for the Christmas/Hanukah season! If you have found any awesome solar powered Halloween decorations, let us know! Even better, take a pic and post it on our Facebook page.
