Hi all. New to the site and new to tiki. I have 1 40" statue and 4 40" masks and want to put some kind of lighting on them to highlight them at night. Just curious if anyone has any tips on certain color lighting and if one is better than the other. Was thinking about just buying 5 solar spotlights and using those, but I dont believe you can change the bulb colors. But maybe white light is best? Thanks in advance.

I don't recommend the solar powered lights. They are so low in light output as to be almost useless. And the color of the light is poor because they use LEDs. I have some low voltage outdoor landscaping lights in my backyard that are connected to a transformer, which runs off AC. One of them is aimed up at a 6 ft tiki, giving him great facial shadows at night. I don't have any, but colored lights can work quite well too using blue, red or yellow bulbs.
