STAR LIGHT Enjoy a celestial light show in your garden by night and a work of art by day with Starlight Lanterns’ Comet. As you move around the 4-foot-high fixture, lights appear to twinkle as they shine through the metal cutouts. Its rust-resistant base is made of powder-coated steel. The globe is made from plastic with a UV additive, so it won’t yellow or turn brittle. Find this and other light designs at Paddock Pools, Patios & Spas, (480) 947-7261. | |
