AMAZON
Now on double sale thanks to a clickable coupon for an additional 40% off, these solar-powered motion sensor lights are waterproof, heat-resistant, frost-resistant, and mountable. With 120 LEDs throughout each individual light (it comes in a four-pack), the solar panel conversion rate is as much as 20.5%, resulting in increased brightness and a lowered electricity bill. Each light can detect people up to 26 feet away within an angle of 120 degrees, and adds another layer of security to your front door, yard, garage, or deck.
These lights, which have more than 31,856 five-star ratings have helped many shoppers in the comments reduce their electricity bills. One five-star reviewer, who says they’ve been making switches to solar lights since early 2021, claims, “We have halved our electricity consumption” which has made for “huge savings.” They've added, “These solar lights continue to operate beautifully despite exceptional heat this past summer and record-breaking winter cold these past few weeks.”
Nymphy Four-Pack Solar Yard Spotlights
AMAZON
An Amazon best-seller with nearly 6,400 five-star ratings, these lights are on sale for half-off—but only for Prime members. They have three light modes—low light, medium light, and high light mode—and the accompanying solar panel can automatically detect which brightness mode to use based on the brightness of its surroundings. Each light in this four-pack is also outfitted with all-weather protection, which means they can stay in the ground year round, and the solar panel has an energy conversion rate of up to 20%.
“These landscape lights are great in every way,” one shopper, who gave the lights a perfect rating, wrote. They said the lights were “easy to install, work very nicely, [the] brightness level is high, and they are long lasting,” adding that they “have purchased these many times, and my home is beautifully lit without having to invest in hard wiring or [electric] methods.”
Tonulax Solar Garden Lights
AMAZON
Fresh off Amazon’s Movers and Shakers list, these solar garden fairy lights are so popular, more than 8,000 shoppers have grabbed them in the past month. (And they’re on double sale to boot!) Each stake features eight solar-powered globes that fan out in a starburst, covering more surface area in the garden, and providing eight times the illumination. The globes sit atop a flexible iron base that sways in the wind, giving them the appearance of dancing fireflies and adding to their whimsical appeal. Use them to light a pathway or to add interest to gardens, landscaping, and outdoor pool areas.
One satisfied shopper said, “My Tonulax Solar Lights light up even on cloudy days and they are just right: enough light, but not too much. We don’t get much wind here, but they look twinkly.” They added, “I had them during the winter and they survived the cold and snow, and are especially nice when the weather is not.”
Visflair Metal Solar Wall Lights
AMAZON
If you’re looking for outdoor lighting that’s a little more funky and fun, these mountable wall lights add some texture and color, too. Use them in either warm white mode or switch to any one of the seven available color options—including red, orange, yellow, green, aqua, blue, and pink. Each light, which features a leafy pattern that projects onto the ground below, takes about six hours to fully charge and stays illuminated for up to 10 hours. They turn on automatically at dusk, and off at dawn, so they’re pretty much a set ‘em and forget ‘em type deal after the initial install.
One shopper, who said they “love the white and the colors are fun, too,” wrote, “I bought [these] for a little mood lighting on my small back porch.” They mentioned that they were “super easy to install” and “even though my porch has shade most [of] the day, they still charged just fine.” They also added that they’re “great if you don’t want it super bright” and mentioned that they would definitely be buying more.
Gusicil Split Motion Sensor Lights
AMAZON
This two-pack of motion sensor lights can actually split up to customize the lighting to your needs, connecting each light to the solar panel by a 16.4-foot cable that allows you to space them apart. Each motion sensor light has 172 LEDs, and can detect motion of up to 26 feet away within an 180 degree angle. The waterproof lights also come with three lighting modes—strong light sensor mode that works all night, dim light sensor mode for security and scaring off animals, and dusk-to-dawn mode for all-night illumination for yards, gardens, and patios.
One reviewer said they're “perfect for my outdoor BBQ kitchen.” They said they installed these lights “on an overhead pergola above my BBQ pits” then used the included cable to “route the solar [panel] to a sunny spot while having the lights under the pergola.” They added that it “turned out to be amazing,” that the “motion sensor and timer work perfectly,” and it’s as easy as “set it and forget it.”
Tdlol 35-Foot Solar String Lights
AMAZON
Energy-efficient, waterproof, weather-resistant, and shatterproof, these bistro-style lights not only charge by solar, but they also turn on and off via a handheld remote. With 35 feet of string lights and 11 bulbs to work with, choose any of the five levels of adjustable brightness depending on the darkness, time of night, or preferred vibe. The lights automatically turn on in the dark, off during the day, but can also be adjusted and controlled from the remote. There are also three lighting modes to choose from—steady, breath, and flash—and you also have the option to recharge the solar panel by the included USB cable in the event of cloudy or gloomy weather. Both charging methods take about 8 hours to complete, giving you up to 8 hours of continuous use.
One reviewer, of the many 1,089 five-star ratings, wrote, “I was very excited to get these solar string lights. I have a large fire pit area far away from any electrical source, and surrounded by lots of trees on one side. I wanted to light the area up, but with no electrical source, I am only able to do that with solar power. These string lights are the perfect solution.” They also like that they’re “commercial grade” and called the lights “a very good quality set.”
LairtPow Solar Rope Lights
AMAZON
Purchased more than 3,000 times in the past month, shoppers are loving the warm brightness these rope lights add to trees, gazebos, balconies, porches, trellises, pathways, and more. Extremely versatile and easy to wrap around just about anything, these waterproof lights feature eight lighting modes, including fireflies, flashing, fading, chasing, flashing, fading slowly, twinkle, and steady-on. The solar rope itself has 100 pieces of low-heat-emission LED chips with a 20% conversion rate that allows them to work for up to 12 continuous hours. They’re also extremely malleable, so you can easily bend and shape them around just about anything, including plants and outdoor patio furniture.
"Once it got dark, I was so excited to see [that] these lights are magical,” said one five-star reviewer. "They added that they chose the “combo setting,” which “circles through lots of different light patterns,” “is very bright and so fun.” They added, “It was very inexpensive too, so I’m going to get more.”
Knhuos Realistic Sunflower Lights
AMAZON
Fill out your garden and illuminate it at the same time with the help of these sunflower lights. Both the yellow petals of the sunflower and its stem are outfitted with glowing LEDs that charge in up to 12 hours and throw light for 15. Beneath the green, glowing stem, there’s a stainless steel stake that pierces the ground, allowing you to brighten up a pathway or customize where you want each flower. Each stake also has its own solar panel, so you don’t have to worry about placing them too close together. There are also two lighting modes—flashing or stay-on.
“We used these in our side lot,” one shopper wrote. “The colors have stayed pretty well so far even in the desert heat. They brighten the yard nicely and show up well at night.”
