Congrats to: JoAnn (glecc@…)
Look for an email from me shortly!
This time of year, my favorite type of get-together is one that happens outside… and it usually includes grilled food!
Since Dave and I are in the middle of renovating our kitchen, we’ve been cooking all our food either in a slow cooker, in the toaster oven, on our griddle, or on the grill. And any time we have company over, we head outside.
One of the reasons we purchased our house was because it had such great potential for outdoor entertaining. We have an acre of land, a huge front porch, a large patio with fire pit, an outbuilding in case of rain, and a nice little deck right outside our office.
I have big plans for our little deck — and even though it’s not as cute as I’d like it to be {yet}, we’ve been sitting out there and enjoying the warm weather almost every day for the past several weeks.
One of the main things I’ve wanted to add to our deck {and other outdoor living spaces} is lighting… but lighting can be expensive, and we have “bigger fish to fry” right now.
However, I recently came across Jenesis Products, a local Michigan company who specializes in battery-powered motion-sensored lighting for indoor and outdoor use. They have a fabulous line of motion deck lights that are the perfect addition to any outdoor space… and since there’s no electrical wires needed, I could simply install them in about 10 minutes!
{note: this is not our deck — but their pictures looked so much cooler than mine!}
Obviously, these exterior lights could be used for much more than just illuminating your deck or patio. You could also use them near your garage door, on your front walk-way, on fence posts, around a veggie garden, etc. The possibilities are endless for these deck-marker lights.
Here are some of the product features:
- Automatically turns on in low light (at dusk).
- Has a low and high light option.
- Quick and easy mounting with adhesive pad or screws.
- Weatherized to resist moisture.
- Will operate for a year {or more} on one set of 3 C batteries.
Pretty simple if you ask me.
Here’s a video that goes into more detail and really shows you how these lights work.
So if you love outdoor entertaining as much as we do, you’ll definitely want to enter today’s giveaway!

I would love these for our deck, b/c right now we just have a flood light which is too bright and instantly attracts bugs!
Laura Curtis says
I’d love these for our deck, we don’t have any outdoor electrical plugs/outlets so we can’t even plug in lights if we wanted. This would be great to be able to see our dog/check any noises out in the yard!

These are really awesome. We’re building our dream house in two years and these would be great on the big, back deck. For the time being, though, we could use them on our patio. They’d be great for the dog when she has to go out at night, or for entertaining in the evening once the days start getting shorter.

I *just* bought a patio set on 75% markdown yesterday, so these would be perfect for spruce up our outdoor space. It is small and enclosed on 2 sides thanks to neighbors, so a little extra light would help things out!

Oh My Goodnesss!!!! These lights are JUST what I need! We are in the process of adding a pergola to our deck to add some shade but I also want lights so badly! These beautiful yet reasonable sources of light would add just what I am looking for! I LOVE entertaining outside but at this point our deck is not livable outdoor space! Thanks for considering me for the drawing!
