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 these lights on our back deck. We could sit out at night and look out at our garden. What a cool product and I love that you are in West Michigan. I found your blog via Pinterest and have been following you ever since.

Defi.itelt would use these for my deck. May have to buy more for the front walkway, though.

We have a small patio that we don’t use nearly enough. I’d love these to make that space more pleasant and usable!

I checked out their web site and ordered two just in case I don’t win…smile.
Angee says
I love your site, and check it daily! I would love these lights. We end every night on our deck….and these lights would be perfect!
Diane says
These are great looking and would be perfect on our deck. Do not like the light next to the slider as it attracts bugs. Already like SOL and just liked Jenesis Lighting on FB.
Janice says
I was going to say why I thought the lights would be a wonderful addition to our deck as we live in the country and it is pitch black outside and the bright porch lights attract the insects that attracts the bats that get into our roofing, but I think Iliana Hernanadez deserves it so that her father, who is undergoing dialysis can see when he gets up in the middle of the night to go to his dialysis. My prayers are with her father!.
Dawn dk says
I would put it in the garden
iliana hernandez says
I already like you on FB. Luv your site.
iliana hernandez says
My father is 73 and is on dialysis 3 times a week and it really weakened the way he gets around and since he goes at 4 am. it would be perfect to put the lighting near the garage door so he can see better.
Corey says
These deck lights would be the perfect addition to our deck. We are actually finishing it up this weekend, but do not have any lighting. These are just what I was looking for!

I would use them at our basement entrance!
Melissa Q says
I’d use these for the back staircase that leads from our detached garage to the back/kitchen door. It’s essentially the main entrance for those of us who actually live here and I can’t believe how dark it gets out here (recent city-girl transplant….)

I would use these by our patio! We could definitely use the extra light!
Kelly says
We would use these on our back deck, which also serves as the main entry point of the house.
Nikki says

I would use these lights for the fence by our pond. We could use the extra light to make sure we steer clear of the Florida alligators!
Sarah says
We are planning a new deck and these would be perfect!

I would use them on my back deck.
Janis S says
I think I’d use one by my dog’s doggie door so he can see outside at night better, not sure where I’d put the other, maybe on the patio
