Where to use solar lights by Shade Solar®

Category 1 Shade

These outdoor solar lights work in shade or sun. They may be used as garden solar lights, patio solar lights, pathway solar lights, and more. They can be located under trees or in shadows. There are 3 kinds of shade, known as shade categories. Each shade category has an identifying number. The higher the number, the dimmer the ambient light during daytime.
