For those long days of hosting friends and family on your back deck that turn into long nights, you’ll need some extra light to keep the space bright and lively. And what better way to illuminate your space than with these solar powered deck lights? Because they’re charged by the sun all day, they’ll have enough power to last throughout the night (and maybe even longer) if no one wants the party to end.

Twelve lights are included in this pack, so you can space them out around your deck area—especially in spots where a lot of sun can reach them. These lights can withstand rain and snow, so you don’t have to worry about moving them when the weather turns bad, either.

If you’re looking to keep the outside of your home safe and bright, this floodlight and camera duo is a perfect choice. To get the most out of this light, mount it near your garage, front door, or back door, where it can cover a large amount of space; the camera can cover more ground from higher up, so you’ll get clearer footage if it’s elevated.

If you don’t want the light to run all night long, there are functions that allow you to set up specific motion-detection zones or timeframes when you need the light, and the light can be easily controlled via your smartphone.
