The term window sill lights used in the every day context would cover those lights that are used in the homes of people who have culinary leanings as well as gardening hobbies so use these lights in their kitchen garden to provide their pet plants with light when there is insufficient sunlight. Most herbs require regular sunlight for a minimum of 5 to 6 hours and not every kitchen garden lover is blessed with that much of sunlight so they are aided in the nourishment of their plants by artificial window sill lights that do the job for them. These are available in the form of fluorescent lights or special grow lamps, which work just as well for over 15 hours a day to provide illumination to pots of herbs and other such plants which, are window sill tenants.

Holiday flavor to window sill lights:

The other context that the term 'window sill lights' may be used in is more festive. The lights featured in this category are primarily those used as symbols of holiday hospitality. These kinds of window sill lights are easy to install with candle cup hooks between sill and window with long cords stretching to 8 feet long and convenient thumb switches. One has to just purchase the bulbs to go with it and the sizes to these lights vary from company to company, but most are 4 inches to 7 inches high with cords in white, brown or specially designed for the season colors sometimes.

These window sill lights can be used on shelves, on side tables, inside a cupboard or in covered patios too and when used with silicone light bulbs, they shed a gentle glow, much like those of candles. The lights are easy on the eye and use the same power as a standard candle light bulb so there is no fear of a fat electricity bill. Great for window sills, as night lights and romantic evenings-or anywhere that a soft, luminous effect is needed, window sill lights have expanded in scope with ideas and needs.
