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 use them on my deck. I too am cooking most of my meals on the grill as I do every summer. I refuse to turn on the oven or stove in the summer when the air is on. So I have learned to cook allot of things on the grill.
Stacy says
I would use these on our back deck for the summer nights my kids are out catching lightning bugs

Looks lide a great product to keep the animals off the back porch, or at least let them see so they won’t keep bumping into the patio furniture.
Kelly G says
I would use these lights in my dark back yard ๐
Donna G says
I would use these in our yet-to-be created outdoor space in the back yard. A covered patio, once it is approved by the HOA.

What perfect timing! We are in the process of re-doing our deck and these would be perfect! We live in a pretty dark subdivision and we don’t want to put on our exterior house light so these would be absolutely perfect!

I Like SOL on Facebook (FB name is Laurie Superfon Kauffman)
Laurie says
I would use these lights outdoors on my patio.
Monica says
My piano studio is in our walkout basement. These would be wonderful to have for my students and their parents or other visitors when I am not able to light the way for them with our outdoor light. It gets dark before 5 in the winter here. My oldest daughter also would appreciate these lights for the “whenever” she gets home. The solar lights don’t work in our woods.
Karen D says
I can’t decide – front walkway or backyard patio?

We have a back porch that I find we are out on almost every night in the summer!
(And – it until we rewire the garage, the back porch doesn’t have electricity so these lights would be GREAT!)
Rebecca says
I would love to use them to entertain on my front porch
Reva says
I would use them on the steps on my back porch.

I would love to use on our deck off our master bedroom. We love to sit out back and watch the wildlife!
Ginger says
Deck Lights! Oh, yeah!
