Product Information

The solar lights I have in my garden typically stay on for around three to six hours after dusk in summer but only 30 minutes in winter – it all depends on how much sunlight there is and how efficient the solar panel you choose.” How do you clean and care for solar garden lights?

They are expensive, but you do get 30m of cable; the solar charger is also good enough to keep the lights on throughout winter. These lights were often still shining at midnight, even in January. Pay attention to how much sunlight your yard gets during the day, and use that to manage your expectations for how bright the lights will be and how long they'll last into the evening. We chose the AloftSun Solar Motion Sensor Outdoor Lights as the overall best outdoor solar lights for their durability, water resistance, and motion-sensing capabilities. If you're looking for a set of string lights, testers loved the Brightech Ambience Pro Solar Powered Outdoor String Lights, because they held up to water and freezing temperatures. And, while the bulbs are made of plastic, testers said they were clear and didn't look inexpensive. Small and mighty, this lantern is great quality and folds up neatly to protect the solar panels on the inside. It’s made from high quality plastic, with a frosted dome front to help diffuse the light and make it more ambient. This is a solid Rechargeable light. String lights: The bigger, brighter cousin of fairy lights. Also on wire, but the bulbs of string lights are spaced out more widely than fairy lights, and are much brighter, for festival-style illumination.

Ensure that your solar panels face the sun, especially during the winter months when sunlight is limited. It may also be useful to shift them to a location that receives more direct sunlight. For optimal results, aim to charge them under full sunlight for most of the day and avoid placing them in shadowy areas or under tall trees. 2. Clear Snow or Dust from the Solar Panel’s Surface

The best outdoor solar lights have a battery that can eventually be replaced if it stops working. "Technically, solar lights require rechargeable batteries to act as storage for the electrical energy collected from the sun," Jameson says. Don’t mix bulb colours - a mix of warm whites, cool whites and blue whites don’t really look good together in a garden setting. It uses an integrated USB cable for charging, but can also be recharged in an emergency using a collapsible hand crank. Output is adjustable to either a full 360-degrees or a 180-degree pattern if you only need light in one direction. Both light modes use a dimmer switch to fine-tune output, which helps you get the most out of the battery.

You really can’t talk about rechargeable LED lights without talking about Olight. Their products are innovative and practical, which is why you’ll hear more than a few EDC flashlight enthusiasts say “Olight or no light.”

This set of garden lights comes with a large solar panel, which is a little bigger than an A4 sheet of paper (twice as big as most others we tested).The light is weather resistant, standing up well to our water tests, though exact level of water resistance isn't given by the manufacturer. The frame is made from aluminum and frosted glass, which gives it its attractive appearance. However, the glass did not stand up to our golf ball test, with the glass shattering after impact. The solar panels on the light did not shatter. With this in mind, we recommend covering and protecting the light if hail is in your local weather forecast. There’s no debate here. Electric LED lanterns with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have become the golden standard of camping lanterns. Battery technology is constantly improving, and that’s great news for campers. Every year battery capacity increases, recharge times get shorter, and rechargeable lanterns get brighter, longer-lasting, and more convenient. The short answer to the gas v. electric question for 99% of campers is to go with electric, and rechargeable electric specifically. That said, there are still a few good reasons to consider the alternatives. Before purchasing a solar light, ask yourself exactly what you need so you can find a solar light that best suits your needs.

After learning about how to recharge solar light batteries let us have a look at the purpose and type of water used in these batteries. Yes, solar storage batteries, particularly deep cycle batteries, need water to perform properly. These batteries necessitate that the plates in each cell stay submerged at all times and only be filled with distilled water, deionized water, or extremely clean rainfall collected in plastic containers. Typically, most solar batteries need water every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and manufacturer recommendations.

The Sidiou isn’t as pretty as some of the other lights here, but the build quality is decent. It’s made from durable plastic, and is designed to be flipped to the solar panel side during the day, and to stand on end or flat to light at night. One of the best Rechargeable light units we tested.
