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’d put them on the steps going off our deck. My hubby works in his garage, often till after dark, and I worry about him missing steps when he’s tired. These would be perfect!
Lori says
I have a deck off the back of my house that I could use these on. Happy Friday.
Diane Green says

I love the lights. I bought some much smaller ones earlier this year but don’t put out enough light. These are great. I would love to win a couple.
Thanks for the opportunity and information.

Chelsea says
I would use these on our patio next to our sons sand box. He likes to play outside with his trucks through dusk to dark, so the soft extra lighting would be helpful!
Elizabeth says
They would go next to the house door where the light fixture is broken and needs rewiring.
Darlene says
I work midnite turn so I would put it by the front door then I wouldn’t have to leave the porch light on.

We just added on a wrap around porch and it would be awesome to put these going down the steps!
Rhonda says
I would use these lights on the back deck that we never use after dark because we have no lights there ๐
Patricia Crowley says
I would use these to light the stairs to our backyard!
muriel says
I’d use these in the backyard.
Michelle says
I would put these outside on our deck. I find that the “above the patio doors” lightbulb is too bright; these look like they would work perfectly. Thanks for the chance to win some ๐

I have already liked SOL on FB. ๐
Audra says
I would put these on the stairs of my deck from the yard so we don’t trip. We live in the country so it is very dark at night and hard to see where the steps start when we have campfires in the back.
Malinda says
I would use these lights on our front patio. We currently don’t have a real light for our front porch, so it looks quite drab at night.
Lisa says
I would use these lights on the deck we plan on building next year.
Diana says
These lights are perfect for any size deck or patio.

My brother has a pool with a deck and a small child, I think he would love some extra light for not only dusk outside, but walking the puppies!
Katy says
We have an adorable front porch complete with a wicker porch swing, these would light the area perfectly!
