If you come home after dark, or like using your yard when it's dark out you probably have some light fixtures outside (or fumble through the yard a lot). These fixtures can drain power, particularly if you need them to be on when you come home. Also, these fixtures can't use CFL bulbs in a lot of climates because the cold will wreak havoc with them.
Solution: An outdoor light that charges from the sun during the day and comes on automatically at night.
Steps:
1
Figure out how much light you need
Figure out what effect you want. Do you want a bright spotlight on one section, or do you want a series of dimmer lights along a path. This will depend on your yard layout and intended use.

Aquire solar light fixtures
The solar light fixtures can be bought at most hardware stores and probably other stores as well. They come in a bunch of shapes and styles, so pick one that matches what you want. Whether you want a basic utilitarian light fixture, or a simulated tiki torch, you should be able to find one that fits your style.
3
Install light fixtures
Set it up and install per the instructions included and/or common sense. Whichever seems less of a hassle.
