Product Information

Before purchasing a solar light, ask yourself exactly what you need so you can find a solar light that best suits your needs. They'll still work on cloudy days or in areas with indirect light, but you might notice that they aren't quite as bright or long-lasting. "It is a fact that energy storage is much better if it's under direct sunlight, but solar lights can still work with rain or even snow," Jameson says. Performance will never be an issue with these solar post lights. The Mini London incorporate advanced lighting technology, including high efficiency solar panels and high brightness SMD light bulbs, which work together to deliver a lighting output that is twice as bright offered by the average solar post light. Outdoor lights work best when they have access to direct sunlight to charge for multiple hours during the day, which is how the manufacturers calculate battery life and runtime. There is probably a huge list of reasons to choose solar lights over normal lights, however, we’re going to discuss just a few here. Installing a solar light in your location will be much easier and cheaper than trenching grid power at the same location. It also ensures safety and easy maintenance. These lights usually come with a life span of 20 - 30 years, so you don't have to replace them every now and then. Since these lights are fully powered by solar energy, they are considered to be a green alternative to traditional lighting. Another important reason to choose a solar light is its low energy cost. These lights do not require electricity to run, helping you save on your energy bills.

No installation is required for the lights themselves, other than hanging them up or placing them around a centerpiece table arrangement. Testers said it was simple to install the solar panel onto the stake provided, so the lights can charge during the day. There are endless possibilities when decorating your outside space with our solar-powered outdoor lights. Choose hanging solar lights to create a statement feature and brighten up a patio or balcony. Alternatively, our twinkly LED fairy lights can be hung as solar tree lights or around balconies as ideal solar patio lights, perfect for evening entertaining. They do come with a wall mounting option so you can install them for a hanging lantern if you prefer. Of course, that requires some basic household tools like a hammer.Why You Should Get It: These in-ground lights sit flush with your terrain for a minimalist look that is barely noticeable during daytime.

Why You Should Get It: If you'd like a sturdy motion-sensing solar light, our testers found this to be one of the best solar lights in this category. Why You Should Get It: These solar lights are perfect for those looking for a soft, ambient outdoor lighting option. They're also available in seven colors.The lights have two modes. The first is a non-motion-sensing, lower brightness (about half power) that switches to a brighter light for 10 seconds when motion is detected. Once motion stops, the light dims itself. The second mode keeps the light off when there's no motion then switches to a bright light for 25 seconds when motion is detected. We didn't notice a big difference between dim light and bright light modes, however. Stake lights: These tend to be spiked stakes with bulbs at the top that provide low-level lighting, ideal for guiding the way along a path or softly lighting flowerbeds.

Its IP65 rating means it is a water resistant solar light option. We observed no damage to either the light or the solar panel when we subjected them to water and golf ball tests. Post-freezer, the lights still worked as well. Ultimately, we found these to be a good deal for their price and practicality. The Ring Solar Pathlights provided incredibly bright light, and the system as a whole was quite durable. However, a Ring Bridge and a smartphone app are required to connect it to Alexa. We weren't able to get the app working properly during testing, which is why we didn't include it on our list of the best outdoor solar lights. If you have the time and patience to devote to setup—and you already own other Ring accessories—this could still be a great fit for your home.

Fairy lights: Think of the lights on a Christmas tree - they have small, dim LEDs, narrowly spaced along a wire, and are ideal for decorative lighting.
