The bright blue candles were a nice touch even during the day and unlit, but at night they really made a difference. They didn't shed loads of light, but they created a warm feeling to the atmosphere and I paid around £5 for each one, so they are affordable aswell as worthwhile. The reason I no longer have these in my garden is that if you leave them in the ground through the Winter they soon fall foul of the elements and begin to look tatty...more

I did have a number of these Homebase garden torches dotted around my back garden a few Summers ago. I used to have them around the edge of my garden during evening garden parties and barbeque's to shed a little light on the garden and for ambiance.

I've had Garden Torches from Homebase for the last couple of years. It was my father in law that first recommended them, and yeah they are ok.

Although you can hold this and pretend that you are in National treasure at the end where they are all holding their Torches, I stick this in the ground by jamming the Stake in the ground. So you put Paraffin into the Bottle part, light this and then this will ... Read the complete review

I would like to extoll the praises of another form of garden lighting other than the electric kind, ( albeit that I am eco friendly, and love the idea of solar powered garden lights, they do seem a tad pricey). Another alternative, and not pricey at all, is the Homebase garden torch. These are made of a wicker frame on a bamboo stake, the wicker concealing a plastic bottle with a rope-like wick arrangement. All one does is simpy fill the bottle with a paraffin type substance, (oh, what a surprise, also available at homebase) and then adjust the length of the wick to produce a relatively smoke free flame. Another advantage is that the paraffin stuff available ... Read the complete review
