Lighting for Window Sills

Window sill lighting refers to the lighting used by gardening enthusiasts who use their window sills for small quaint gardening spaces. Some use their kitchen window sills for herb gardens, while others use them for their prized plant collections. However, not all windows filter in the proper and adequate sunlight required for the plants to survive, making a window sill light a necessity.

On average, most herb gardens will need five to six hours of sunlight, which can be delivered with a fluorescent light or sunlamp. This will allow the herbs or plants to sustain life and make their required nourishment. You can purchase fluorescent lights or artificial sunlamps that will work for an average of 15 hours a day, providing the quality lighting needed by your potted windowsill plants and garden.

Dress Up Window Sills with Holiday Inspired Lighting

During the festive seasons of holidays, it is often tradition to illuminate the window sills of a home with the twinkle and sparkle of colorful light to ring in the holiday cheer. Through the years, it has become easier to install window sill lights. This is mostly due to new and innovative products used to attach the lights to the window sill replacing the commonly used thumbtacks, nails or staples. You can use candle cup hooks, which are placed between the sill and window frame, allowing you to fasten the long cord of colorful lights to each hook. The strands of lights conveniently have a thumb switch and come in a variety of lengths and cord colors such as white, brown and green.

The window sill lights can also be used to decorate shelves, stairway railings, tables and covered patios, and, when the lights are switched on, they cast off a gentle glow that shimmer and dance, almost candle-like. These types of lights are not overpowering and bright for the eyes, and are energy efficient; so, it will not run up a huge electrical bill. You can even use these types of lights for special occasions, when the night needs to be illuminated for a birthday party or if you are trying to set the stage for romance. Be creative with window sill lights because they can really dress up an event, occasion or holiday.
