Trees, arbors, deck railings, and archways look beautiful when they're sparkling with lights after dark. But all those wires and plugs aren't very pretty or energy efficient.

Skip the messy strands of lights and check out Aurora Glow solar light strings.

Powered by the sun, these artisan light strings feature six hand-blown glass bulbs. Spaced on a 25-foot long string, these colorful bulbs create an inviting glow in the evening. (Just make sure they're in a spot that gets good light during the day.)

Lights turn on at dusk and off at dawn thanks to a photo light sensor, and the light string's mini solar panel is small enough to be out of sight while catching rays. High-powered LED lights, rechargeable battery, and copper hooks are all included.
