Lately I've been spending a bit of money on doing up our garden and buying various garden ornaments and features etc. but the one thing missing was some pretty lights! We have quite a few bushes and small trees in our garden and one in particular is right next to our front door and I really wanted to find some lights to light up this bush!

I wanted some sort of Fairy Light style string lights to go in the bush, but of course I needed to find some that were solar powered so that they would come on automatically at night time. I looked in places like Argos and Greenfingers.com and found that the kind I wanted were at least £20+ which I nearly did pay. But before going ahead with my purchase I thought it was worth having a look on Amazon.co.uk first to see if they had anything cheaper (they normally do!) That is how I came across the Solar Brite LED White Fairy Lights, they were cost me about £12.50 delivered which was a lot cheaper than I'd found elsewhere and I was also reassured by the description on Amazon which stated that these lights were great for trees and bushes, so I bought these ones.

I had expected these lights to be quite tricky to put nicely on my garden bush without them looking all over the place, but to me surprise I was able to wind these easily around the bush with no hastle. The solar power part has a spike attached to it so that it stand wells in soil and I have to say it is very secure and doesn't fall over at all. My next concern was whether or not these lights were going to be bright enough as my past experience with Solar Lights hasn't exactly been great, I've often found them to be very dim and some only worked for me half the time! But again I was delighted to see my garden bush lit up with very bright white lights as soon as night came (I can see why they are called Solar Brite) when the lights did come on though they were flashing like Christmas lights much to my embarrasment! So I got my partner to go outside and see if the settings could be changed to just steady lights instead of flashing and thank goodness with a click of a button they could and they looked lovely on the steady setting.

The lights had came with instructions which I'm sure would have told me about the different settings if I had bothered to read them (an annoying habbit of mine). Overall I am thrilled with my new garden lights and they have made such a difference to my garden already, they look so pretty at night and hey I can put them on the flashing setting when Christmas does come around!
