Cold cathode compact fluorescent light bulbs are just the thing for garden and walkway lighting. Have you ever gotten home late at night, long after the sun has left to shine upon other parts of the world, and noticed a need for light bulbs to illuminate your walkways and garden? Solutions to garden and walkway lighting are simple and inexpensive. There are a lot of different types of garden lighting in addition to cold cathode CFLs out there that also work with walkways.
Solar lights are a renewable lighting source, perfect for gardens or walkways that are not covered and/or rarely experience shade. They're the easiest to install, as well; you simply stick some poles in the ground and place the solar lights on top of the poles. They soak up the sun's energy during the day, and then all through the night provide just the right amount of light; enough to see what you need to see without creating light pollution.
Lights that are automatically recharged during the day by an infinite (when compared to our life spans) and readily available source (the sun) might seem too good to be true, but they do exist. Their light output is relatively low, however, so if you need more light you'd do well to consider other options like compact fluorescent light bulbs.
Cold cathode compact fluorescent light bulbs are perfect for garden and walkway lighting. They have instant-on full brightness, they work in cold weather (down to -10 degrees F), they're durable, and provide a lot of lumens in a small bulb. Using them for garden and walkway lighting takes a bit more installation work compared to solar lights, but it's worth it for the end results. If you need more/better lighting for your garden or walkway, you can't go wrong with solar lights or cold cathode compact fluorescents.
