The Water-Resistant Benefits Of Plastic Solar Gutter Lights

When it comes to outdoor lighting, there are many choices we have to make. There are more fun, style-based decisions like beautiful DIYs that will light up your backyard patio for summer nights, and then there are more practical choices you need to make, like choosing between weatherproof or waterproof for the right outdoor lighting for your home. In terms of your choice of gutter lights, it's about more than just making things look good and full of light — it's about withstanding whatever nature throws at it. Between rain, snow, and everything in between, the last thing you want is to worry about your lights fizzling out every time they encounter some water.

The good news is that plastic solar gutter lights not only offer a bright solution for your home, they're also built to last. What makes them so beneficial is their lightweight yet tough water resistance that can take on rain and whatever else the outdoors throw their way.

Plastic solar gutter lights that are built to brave the elements

Not all solar gutter lights are built to handle the ups and downs of the weather. If you're in an area where rain, wind, and even snow are common, you'll want something that can go the distance. That's where plastic solar gutter lights come in. The secret to their durability is in the materials — specifically high-quality materials like ABS plastic that has at least a 1P55 certification. ABS plastic provides benefits like strength and resistance against impact from wind and heavy rain and certain chemicals, while the necessary 1P55 certification ensures that the light is water-resistant (although not waterproof) from all angles. If you're looking for something that is indeed waterproof, look for lights with certifications of IP65 and above. Fortunately, both of these options are easy to find on Amazon, where they have ABS plastic solar gutter lights with IP55 certification for $20, and ABS plastic solar gutter lights with IP65 certification for $33.

While these lights are made to handle rough weather, it's important to note that neglecting to clean your gutters does more harm than you think. Blocked gutters can lead to damage that even the best lights can't fix, so it's crucial to keep up with gutter maintenance so everything stays in good shape. This way, you can be sure to rely on high-quality plastic solar gutter lights to provide you with water-resistant benefits that will keep them shining bright through any storm.
