Solar powered post lights can prove extremely useful because one of the things they do, is help keep your car from being damaged. The basic idea is pretty simple actually. You're done with work so you drive home. You arrive outside your house, and begin to make your way up your driveway. Maybe you have a gate you need to maneuver through, or maybe you don't. Now on any given night you'll probably make it to your garage without any problems. But maybe you're tired or distracted, and suddenly you find that you've accidentally scratched the side of your car, by driving too close to one side of your gate. Or maybe you accidentally go off the driveway, and run up against a plant box or some other feature of your lawn or garden.
This is the sort of thing that might have been prevented, if you had some additional lighting on the sides of your gate, or alongside your driveway, since those lights might have helped to warn you that you were veering a little too far to the left or the right, or that you were straying to close to the edge of the gate. Now of course, you could always install convention lighting. Traditional light fixtures in the proper place would also get the job done of keeping you on course up the driveway. But for a task such as this, it can be argued that solar post lights end up doing a better job, for a number of reasons.
For instance, one of the great things about solar lights in general is that many of them generally come with a built in sensor, which automatically turns on the light when it gets dark outside. This can be extremely handy, because you can be more certain that no matter what time of night you come home, the driveway will be adequately lit. You don't need to worry about how someone might forget to turn on the lights outside. And you won't be put in a position where you come home to a dark house, and you have to alight from your vehicle in the dark, just so that you can turn on the lights alongside your driveway.
Other advantages exist. The built in sensor of most solar powered lights is only one of several. In the end, if you have solar post lights installed outside your house, you won't have to worry as much about accidentally damaging your car.
